Gwyneth Paltrow’s Family Photos With Kids Apple and Moses

Since, they have kept their family life relatively out of the public eye. However, in August, Paltrow admitted that she found being a stepparent “really hard at first.”

So it’s kind of like trying to avoid land mines. And then you’re going into a family with dynamics. And there’s all kinds of fear around loss and what does this person mean?”
She continued: “But for myself, the minute I decided, and fully embodied the idea that my step kids were my kids and I love them just as much and I gave them the same rules and boundaries, and just kind of whole-heartedly went for it, then the easier the whole thing got. And now it’s pretty great.”
In August 2021, the Shakespeare in Love star also opened up to Gabrielle Union about her new role as stepmother. While noting that there have been “challenges,” Paltrow shared that she’s “learned so much” about herself “through the process.”
