The 1 Thing Gwyneth Paltrow Told Her Kids to Never Do

Goop Kitchen will open a location in New York City. Gwyneth Paltrow shared that her daughter Apple graduated two weeks earlier and her son Moses is pursuing music, including being signed to Interscope Records with a band called People I’ve Met. She described empty-nester life as difficult, saying she struggled when her children left, felt okay afterward, and then fell again in September. She expressed pride in Apple’s upcoming semi-autobiographical comedy role alongside Jude Law, Owen Wilson, and Penélope Cruz. She advised her kids that pursuing a high-profile path is hard but worth it if it matches their truth, and she urged them not to read about themselves. She said she stepped back from acting while raising her children because film schedules conflicted with family responsibilities.

"“It’s really hard!” Paltrow told Savannah Guthrie. She has two kids with ex-husband and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Paltrow shared that daughter Apple, 22, graduated two weeks ago, and son Moses, 20, is pursuing a career in music. “I really struggled when they all went, and then I thought, ‘I’m good,’” said Paltrow. “And then in September again I kind of fell off a cliff for the second time.”"

"Savannah mentioned Apple’s “big acting role” in a semi-autobiographical comedy from Nancy Meyers. Apple will star in the movie along with Jude Law, Owen Wilson and Penélope Cruz. “I’m really proud of her,” said Paltrow, beaming. “It’s really thrilling.” The actress added that Moses is “signed to Interscope Records. He has an amazing band. They’re called People I’ve Met.” Of course, she can’t help saying in a proud mom voice, “And he’s such a nice boy.”"

"Savannah asked Paltrow if she gives her kids advice on pursuing a high-profile line of work. “It’s hard. It’s a difficult road. But it’s worth pursuing if that’s their absolute truth,” Paltrow said. She also tells her kids “not to read anything about themselves.” Paltrow spent some years out of the limelight while raising Apple and Moses. “I put acting on the back burner largely because I was a single mom and I was raising two kids,” she said."

"“A lot of times, doing a film can take you away from home for weeks and months at a time. The hours are not that friendly for taking someone to school or picking them up.” Paltrow spent her years of motherhood focusing on her business rather than acting. “And then everybody abandoned me and went to”"
