Gwyneth Paltrow Says “No Thanks!” to Polyamory

In her 51 years of life, Gwyneth Paltrow seems to have been game for trying plenty of things. She got her start in acting and nabbed that Best Actress statuette, then the fun began. She’s dabbled in yoni eggs and exorcisms, moonlit as a divorce influencer, designed a vagina candle, tried her hand at podcasting, hinted at “doing cocaine and not getting caught” in the pre-smartphone era, really went for it soup-wise, and more, all with an air of being willing to try anything once and many things twice.

But polyamory? It’s not on her to-do list, according to an Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session Paltrow hosted on her Instagram Story last Friday.

While it would be easy to ignore some of the more personal questions asked by her more than 8.3 million followers on the platform, Paltrow was game to answer.

“Have you ever considered a poly relationship?” one follower asked in a text box, allowing Paltrow to expand on whether her marriage to Brad Falchuk might have room for another. (Not room like the bedroom that ex-husband Chris Martin had in her home at some point after their split, but another human person, specifically.)

“No thanks!” Paltrow wrote in response. But she’s not here to stop you from pursuing all your coupling dreams. “Not for me but have no judgment. I’m a one man kinda gal.”

Having cleared that up, Paltrow decamped to Nashville to spend Easter weekend with her two children, Apple and Moses, as chronicled on Instagram.

She shares the kids, now 19 and 17 years old, with ex-husband Martin. They speak publicly about their harmonious co-parenting relationship, and Paltrow has said Martin is “like a brother” in the past, and is still close with the Coldplay frontman and his current partner, actor Dakota Johnson. They were even present for what Paltrow characterized as a “big family honeymoon” in the Maldives in early 2019, following her 2018 wedding to Falchuk.
