Gwyneth Paltrow recently opened up in an interview with People about her choice to step away from acting when her daughter, Apple, was born. "Well, it's kind of ironic because I really stepped away from acting when Apple was born," Paltrow told the outlet of how motherhood has enhanced her career. "The last time I was in every scene of a movie was when I was pregnant with her. When I had her, it just, everything felt redefined for me, and I thought, 'I'm not sure that I want to do this so much as a career. I definitely don't want to...I'm not going to go away for months on end.'"

The actress and Goop founder shares two children with her ex-husband Chris Martin: Apple, 19 and Moses, 17. Paltrow recently spoke with Bustle about her daughter Apple, who has recently started college. "It's so fun to have a daughter that age, especially because she's into clothes and skin and all that kind of stuff," said Paltrow. "She's more girly than I am. She's really good at doing makeup and loves to do it." When asked if her daughter teaches her any new tips or techniques when it comes to makeup, Paltrow said, "It's great because she's plugged into the cool stuff, and not the rubbish-y, depressing part of our culture. We were FaceTiming yesterday and she was telling me how she uses all the Goop products. I never pushed anything, but over time she's just migrated over to it, and so I was beaming from ear to ear." She added, "She's such an eminently nice person, and her values are in the right place."

Paltrow is currently married to Brad Falchuk and the stepmom to his two kids, Isabella, 19, and Brody, 17. In August, Paltrow opened up during an Instagram Q&A about her experience with becoming a stepmother admitting, "I did find it really hard at first." "You know, there’s no book on this; nobody tells us what to do. And in fact, all of the existing media around what a stepmother is casts us in this evil, villainous light," she continued, "So it’s kind of like trying to avoid land mines. And then you’re going into a family with dynamics. And there’s all kinds of fear around loss and what does this person mean?" She added saying, "But for myself, the minute I decided, and fully embodied the idea that my step kids were my kids and I love them just as much and I gave them the same rules and boundaries, and just kind of whole-heartedly went for it, then the easier the whole thing got. And now it’s pretty great."
