It seems like a lifetime ago since Gwyneth Paltrow announced she was “consciously uncoupling”, aka divorcing, her then husband and father of her children, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Back then in 2014, after 10 years of marriage, the end of Hollywood’s golden couple seemed to mark the end of love itself.
But friends, love certainly is not dead, as Gwyneth’s adorable new relationship with TV producer Brad Falchuk, 47, proves.
Gwyneth, 46, describes her man as “crazytown handsome”, and we challenge every married person to not feel just a little bit jealous of the very modern sleeping arrangement these two have figured out for themselves.

Brad is a TV writer and producer who has worked on shows including Nip/Tuck and American Horror Story, but it was on the set of the fun musical comedy show Glee, in which Gwyneth was a recurring guest star, that the duo met.
Even though they met in 2010, while Gwyneth was still married to Chris, they eventually went public with their relationship in April 2015.
While Gwyneth is of course an Oscar-winning actress who now heads up the giant lifestyle brand Goop and stars in Marvel movies in her spare time, Brad is equally as talented. He’s won two Emmys, both for his work as an executive producer on American Crime Story.

While Gwyneth has two children from her marriage to Chris Martin, Apple, 15, and Moses, 13, Brad also has two children from his previous relationship, son Brody and daughter Isabella.
He was previously married to TV producer Suzanne Bukinik for 10 years.
When Gwyneth and Brad announced their engagement in January 2018, their official engagement statement referenced the joining together of their previous lives.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship,” the couple said.
Too cute.

“Low-key” and “Gwyneth Paltrow” are two phrases that normally don’t appear in the same sentence together, but the couple’s “small and private” wedding in the Hamptons in New York was actually pretty chill.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 70 close family and friends, with celeb guests including Gwyneth’s Iron Man co-star Robert Downey Jr, as well as Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden, film director Steven Spielberg and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
The reception was held in a marquee on the couple’s property, with the bride wearing a gorgeous white Valentino gown during the ceremony, before changing in to a short Stella McCartney jumpsuit for the reception.
Even the couple’s rings aren’t particularly flashy. Gwyneth uploaded a picture of their post-wedding hands to Instagram, intertwined and wearing simple gold bands, with no giant rock in sight.

And until very recently, they didn’t actually live together
Brad and Gwyneth lived separately for the first few years of their relationship.
(Image: Instagram @gwynethpaltrow)Gwyneth recently revealed that she and Brad have spent the majority of their relationship living in different houses.
While they’re both based in Los Angeles, she lives in her Brentwood mansion with her family and he lives with his own kids in a different house.
They spent about half the week with each other and half apart, in what Gwyneth describes as an “ideal” situation.
“All my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal and we shouldn’t change a thing,” she told the Sunday Times.
About a year after they got married, they moved in together.
“Married life has been really good. We took a year to let everybody [in the family] take it in and let the dust settle, and now we’re moving in together this month,” Gwyneth told InStyle in August.
“I adore my husband. He’s brilliant and deeply kind. I feel like he’s a real equal too. And he pushes me in the best ways. I really like being married. It’s fun.”

“Chris is family and Brad and he, they’re like, totally friends,” Gwyneth told the Sunday Times.
He was even invited on Gwyneth and Brad’s “very modern honeymoon” to the Maldives, alongside each of the couple’s two children and Chris’s new partner, Fifty Shades of Grey actor Dakota Johnson, 29.
“I adore her. A fantastic woman,” Gwyneth said of Dakota.

“[Gwyneth is] very much in love with her husband and loves sharing time with everyone she considers part of her family,” the source revealed.
“At this point that very much includes Dakota.”
Judging by these photos of Gwyneth and Dakota hanging out together, everything seems to be water under the bridge!
