Gwyneth Paltrow’s new film facilitated a little family bonding time.
The actress’s upcoming movie Marty Supreme brought her and her children closer together — literally! Paltrow, 52, spoke with PEOPLE at her seasonal installation “The Forest Within,” a collaboration with Genesis, on Thursday, May 8. She shared that filming her new movie — set to debut in December 2025 — on the East Coast allowed her to spend more time with her son Moses, 19, and stepson Brody, 18, who now live there.
“I’ve actually been able to see them more,” Paltrow tells PEOPLE. “I did a film here in the fall, and it was great ’cause I got to see my son and stepson … very close by quite a lot, which was really nice.”

Offscreen, Paltrow has been focused on letting her children forge their own paths, she says. She herself made a few bad decisions in her youth because she was “being talked in or out of something,” and doesn’t want the same for her kids.
Ultimately, if her children do “what feels right to them,” Paltrow will be supportive of their choices, she says.
“Even if I don’t agree with it, like I want them to be really true to their idea of their purpose and their individuality,” she says.
Paltrow has two children with her ex husband Chris Martin — Apple, 20, and Moses, 19. After she married Brad Falchuk, Paltrow became a stepmother to Isabella, 20, and Brody, 18.
On an episode of The goop Podcast in April, Paltrow and Falchuk recalled the moment their family had truly blended.
“I just remember before the boys left for college, the night before. I think somebody was going, one of the girls was going first,” Falchuk said. “So it was like the last night, and it happened to be on a Wednesday. We had a last Wednesday night dinner.”
“And I don’t think the kids said two words to us because they were so…yapping with each [other] and having such a good time, and we were sitting with them, just looking over at them being like, ‘Oh my gosh. It worked,’ ” Falchuk remembered. “It worked, right? But we would never have believed it would have worked — it was gonna work — early on.”
It was first reported in August that Paltrow would join the cast of Marty Supreme alongside Timothée Chalamet. The film will mark her first return to the big screen since starring in Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
