Gwyneth added that being “focused on accountability” during her divorce, helped her “find the most amazing man and build something that” she never had before, in reference to her relationship with husband Brad Falchuk.

Following the complex relationship with Chris, Gwyneth confessed that co-parenting their two children, 16-year-old Apple and 14-year-old Moses, is so much easier now.

“It’s so interesting because in a way my divorce and my relationship with Chris now is better than our marriage was.”

She also revealed that she has learned a lot about Brad, describing him as “ a person who demands presence and intimacy and communication,” helping her grow by being honest with herself in a way that used to be hard for her.
