Gwyneth Paltrow Breaks Her Silence on Jennifer Lawrence’s Relationship with Chris Martin

When it comes to Jennifer Lawrence dating her ex Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow has stayed pretty mum on the topic, always wishing Martin well but never really discussing his rumored new girlfriend.

That’s right, the Goop creator decided to open up on Howard Stern‘s radio show on SiriusXM to slam reports that say she’s not pleased about her ex’s new girlfriend.

“Who says I don’t approve of Jennifer Lawrence?” she asked on today’s program. “I respect him as the father of my children…It’s his decision…He wouldn’t be with someone who isn’t great.”

During an interview on Howard Stern‘s Sirius XM radio show today, Paltrow slammed any sort of reports that suggest she dislikes Lawrence. “Who says I don’t approve of Jennifer Lawrence?” she asked on the live show. “I respect [Chris] as the father of my children…It’s his decision…He wouldn’t be with someone who isn’t great.”

The mother-of-two also wanted the world to know that she and Martin “actually have a really strong friendship.” She adds, “We have kids, we’re always going to be a family,” saying that their decision to “consciously uncouple” was about “finding the positives” in their history in order to create a drama-free future for their children.

“We laugh and we have fun but there are times when it’s really difficult,” Paltrow admitted. “Things happen and you’re like, I’m sure he doesn’t want to hang out with me and I don’t want to hang out with him but for the sake of the kids, you do it. But you also don’t do it all tense. You say, ‘I really want to find the love for you and I want to forgive you and I want you to forgive me and let’s have some fun as a family.'”

Last March, the two announced that they were separating after 10 years of marriage.

On her honeymoon: “[Shooting ‘By the Sea’] felt like the appropriate thing to do on our honeymoon. We wanted to try things; we wanted to push each other; we wanted to be artists and see what we could make. I’m sure I had many moments with the actor, and I’m sure he had many moments with the director,”

 

On how marriage has changed her relationship: “It did change. We were fortunate enough to be in that unusual situation, we got married with our [six] children and they were part of the ceremony. It was all of us agreeing to be together and to just commit to this life together. Not because we had to … because we were absolutely sure we felt that much of a family.”

 

On wanting to change herself: “We have more moments where I say, ‘I’m going to be a better wife,’” she said. “‘I’m going to learn to cook.’ and [Brad] says, ‘Oh, honey, know what you’re good at.’ … But I do like, ‘No, no, no, I’m going to get this wife thing down.’ He knows my limitations and where I’m a good wife and a good mom.”
