For Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Brad Falchuk, their children hold the highest importance in their lives.
In a recent episode of The goop Podcast, Paltrow invited her husband Falchuk to offer a candid perspective on step-parenting, discussing the often unseen aspects of the role.
During their conversation, the married couple shared insights into how remarrying after a divorce alters one’s view on relationships. A crucial point, as Falchuk emphasized, is that if anything threatens the stability of their marriage, both partners should prioritize their children above all else.
“If for some reason we can’t make this work, you hope you’re with somebody that would eventually have to choose his children or her children over the relationship,” Falchuk explained. “To say, ‘Look, I don’t know how to get this to work, and they’re really struggling, and we’re doing everything we can. I have to choose them.'”
The Glee creator further elaborated, “I think we always believed, no matter what, that we were gonna be able to work through it, anything, no matter what it was, hard as it may be. But the part that’s scary that becomes triggering is like, yeah, but this could really blow it.”
Paltrow added, “And our only fights were about that.”
It’s important to note that Paltrow shares two children, Apple and Moses, with her former husband Chris Martin, while Falchuk also has two children, a son Brody (18) and a daughter Isabella (20), with his ex-wife.
