The couple’s professional paths have also diverged. While Paltrow recently shot her big-screen comeback in the sports drama Marty Supreme – in which she stars opposite Timothée Chalamet – Falchuk has been occupied with several new series projects in Los Angeles.
Another insider said: “The problem is how far apart their lives have drifted. Gwyneth’s focused on acting again and trying to stabilize Goop after a tough year, while Brad’s busy developing new TV projects.
Paltrow’s decision to film intimate scenes with Chalamet reportedly surprised Falchuk.
During a recent interview, the actress admitted she told the intimacy coordinator on set to “step back,” adding, “I was like, ‘Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on.'”
A source said: “Brad had no real input on that role – it came as a surprise to him. It’s not about jealousy, but he does feel left out of choices that shape their lives. He’s always backed Gwyneth’s independence, but there’s a fine line between giving space and feeling shut out.
“They used to collaborate on everything, but that creative partnership has faded. Friends who’ve known them for years say the distance is obvious – and concerning.”
