Gwyneth Paltrow On Her Current Relationship With Chris Martin: "We've Worked Really F*cking Hard To Get To This Point"

Gwyneth Paltrow covers the February issue of Marie Claire, and she really opens up about her split from estranged husband Chris Martin. In fact, the magazine's reporter notes that Gwyneth cried during the interview.

On their current relationship status, Gwyn says:

    "We’ve worked really f*cking hard to get to [this] point. But we’re very, very close, and it’s so nice. I feel like it’s, in a way, the relationship we were meant to have."


"There was nothing dramatic or anything," she continued. "I had built my life on trying to be all things to all people, and I just couldn’t do it anymore, and I really had the sense that I wasn’t allowed to have needs, and I had to prove my specialness or self-worth by doing all this stuff and taking care of everybody else, and I just sort of hit a wall."

The Oscar winner doesn't say whether she's officially back together with her estranged hubby, but it doesn't sound like she's ruling out a reconciliation. While Martin spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with Gwyneth and their two kids, a photo of him having dinner with on-again/off-again girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence hit the web this week. We're definitely wondering where this love triangle is going...

The topic of discussion then turned to the infamous Mommy Wars, which started last spring when Paltrow spoke about her struggles as a movie star mom. The actress told E!, "I think it's different when you have an office job, because it's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set."

When asked about the backlash from her quote, Gwynnie said:

    "I think we are all genuinely doing our best. It's hard to have children and a career, and all some women seem to do is judge other women's choices. I find that demoralizing and unhelpful. Where is the wisdom coming out of this situation? I don't see where this is getting us anywhere in terms of a cultural discussion."


Hmm, we do love the A-lister (and her abs look incredible!) but we still wish she'd suck it up and genuinely apologize for the comment that launched Mommy Wars.
