Forever friends. Gwyneth Paltrow explained that most of her exes are still in her life, and she prefers it that way.

When a fan asked via Instagram on Friday, December 16, if the Goop founder, 50, is friends with her exes, Paltrow said she was “pretty much” pals with most of them.

While they “weren’t friends for awhile” after their split, they “found our way back, probably about 18 or 19 years ago” and have stayed in touch ever since, she told Entertainment Tonight in October.

Her husband, Brad Falchuk, who she married in 2018, supports her friendships with former flames. “Probably one of the things that he likes about me is that I believe in conscious uncoupling, whether you’re uncoupling with a coworker, a spouse, a boyfriend,” Paltrow said at the time. “I really do believe that if you’ve invested in somebody — and of course there are exceptions — to amputate that relationship [shows that] maybe you’re not then fully letting the full lesson reveal itself and the healing happen.”

The Avengers: Endgame star exclusively told Us Weekly in the fall that she tries to welcome change into her life. “I always try to embrace every transition that comes with a degree of openness and even if they’re painful sometimes, there’s always beauty
