Gwyneth Paltrow offloaded her Los Angeles home for $22 million after struggling with her new empty-nester lifestyle.
The Goop founder sold the Brentwood abode, which was unharmed by California wildfires, for $8 million less than the original asking price, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The manse came on the market for $30 million in June 2024 before the price was slashed to $24.9 million a few months later. An anonymous buyer later snapped up the 8,000-square-foot house for nearly $3 million less, the outlet reported.
Property records show that Paltrow and her ex-husband, Chris Martin, had purchased the 1950s single-story house in 2012 for $9.95 million.
The estate, which underwent renovations in 2009, features a large kitchen with a wood-burning oven, a one-bedroom guesthouse with a wine cellar, a gym, an office, a game room and a private movie theater.
The lifestyle guru was looking to sell the gut-renovated six-bedroom, 11-bathroom home because her two kids were on their way to moving out, her listing agent Lea Porter of the Beverly Hills Estates told the Wall Street Journal last year.
The “Avengers” star shares Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, with the Coldplay frontman.
Paltrow also reportedly finished building her new home in Montecito, where she resides with her husband, Brad Falchuk, whom she married in 2018.
The “Shakespeare In Love” actress, 52, has been candid about her children moving out now that they are both in college.
Last March, the mom of two admitted that she felt an “incredible sadness” and “a deep sense of impending grief” about her kids flying the coop.
“It’ll be interesting to see how the morning routine changes with no kids in the house,” she told the Sunday Times at the time. “On the other hand, this is exactly what should be happening.”
Apple is currently in her third year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., while Moses began classes at Brown University in Rhode Island last fall.
“It’s very different. I have waves of grief and sadness,” Paltrow admitted in a video on her Instagram Story in October 2024. “I am kind of getting back in touch with this part of myself that I haven’t felt like since I was in my 20s before I had kids.”
Martin, 47, is also experiencing a sense of loss with both kids becoming independent.
“It’s sad. That’s the only word,” the singer said when asked what it’s like to have all of his kids out of the house in an interview with Rolling Stone published last month.
The musician agrees with Paltrow that it would be worse if their kids didn’t naturally take the next steps in life.
“But of course, it’d be weirder if they were still like, ‘I can’t leave.’ Then you’d be more worried,” he said.
Martin and Paltrow “consciously uncoupled” in 2014 after nearly 11 years of marriage and finalized their divorce two years later.
Since then, they have continued to amicably co-parent their kids while he has moved on with partner Dakota Johnson.
Meanwhile, Paltrow became a stepmom to Falchuk’s two kids, Isabella and Brody, whom he shares with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.
