Told. “So my question to you is, what does it look like now that we’re older? Our kids are in college. We’re in a different relationship. What does it look like now that we’re older? Is that so?”
“My ex-husband and I are still very close,” Paltrow said. “We’ve turned it into a real family. I know it sounds really weird, but he’s like my brother now.” The room erupted in laughter.
“And it’s hard for people to understand, but I really made a promise to him that he would continue to be my family, and I think we suffer a lot less because of that,” she continued. Ta. “I think it’s incredibly painful for a woman to have her DNA mixed with a man, with no contact, no bitterness between them. I think it’s very, very difficult. And suffering. So if we can turn that into a different kind of relationship and family…that’s what we’ve been able to do, thank God.”
