The Oscar-winning actress rarely shares pictures of her kids on social media, only recently for National Daughters Day and National Sons Day. However, the mom of two has been vocal about her close relationship with her kids and even shared the sex advice she told Apple and Moses.
“Stay really close to your own truth,” Paltrow toldEntertainment Tonightin October. “I think the main thing that nobody ever tells you is you have to stay really close to your own truth and you have to stay really in integrity with that truth. Because when you are in a relationship and you are not being your full self, you are sublimating things or you are white-knuckling through something, and I think it can be pretty damaging to how you feel about yourself.”
“I will always just encourage my children to really listen to themselves, listen to their instincts, listen to if something, you know, feels right and to act from that place,” she added.

Last year, Paltrow opened up about becoming a stepmom to Falchuk’s kids when shemarriedtheAmerican Horror Storyproducer in 2018.
On an April episode ofThe goop Podcast, Paltrow admitted that she initially had “no idea” what to do.
“I have two beautiful stepchildren, who are the same age as mine,” Paltrow began. “It’s funny because when I became a stepmother, when I knew I was going to become a stepmother, I was like, ‘S—, I have no idea how to do this. There’s nothing to read. What do I do? Where do I step in? Where do I not? Like, how do I do this?’ "
“It’s been a really interesting challenge for me and I love them,” she continued, adding, “I’ve learned so much about myself through the process.”
