Gwyneth Paltrow is facing the bittersweet reality of her children growing up and leaving the nest. As her son Moses gets ready to head off to Brown University, the actress is feeling a mix of emotions, jokingly admitting to experiencing a “nervous breakdown” in the midst of it all.
During her annual In Goop Health Summit, Paltrow shared her struggles with adjusting to the idea of her children becoming independent adults. With her daughter Apple also reaching a milestone age of 20, Paltrow is finding it difficult to navigate the empty nester lifestyle with her husband Brad Falchuk.
The actress revealed that she has oriented her entire life around her children and their schedules, making it challenging to let go as they become more independent. However, Paltrow is finding solace in the fact that she is not alone in this experience, as many of her mom friends are going through similar feelings.
Despite the conflicting emotions, Paltrow is choosing to focus on the positives of this new chapter in her life. She sees this as an opportunity to rediscover herself and explore what aging means to her. With her children and stepchildren all grown up and out of the house, Paltrow is looking forward to embracing inner growth and redefining herself as she enters this new phase of life.
As she navigates the transition into empty nesthood, Paltrow is determined to stay true to herself and continue on her journey of self-discovery. With a supportive network of friends and loved ones by her side, the actress is ready to embrace the freedom and possibilities that come with this new chapter.
