Gwyneth Paltrow is all set to return to the big screen in 2026 seven years after her last turn as Pepper Potts in Russo Brothers’ 2019 blockbuster Marvel movie Avengers: Endgame. The 53-year old actor will next be seen romancing a much younger Timothee Chalamet, 29, in Josh Safdie’s sports dramedy Marty Supreme.
However, when she met her co-star at the costume trial of the film, Gwyneth had no remote clue that he was dating model and entrepreneur Kylie Jenner for the past couple of years. She asked Timothee if he has a girlfriend. He mentioned that he does, and that his girlfriend also has kids. Gwyneth was impressed that a young man like Timothee chose to date a woman who already had kids.
“I was like, ‘That’s so cool. I really love to hear that (from) a young man like you.’ I understand a 45-year-old who has his own kids going out with a woman with kids, but it’s a cool choice to go out with a young woman who has two kids. I respect it. I think it’s kind of punk rock,” she told British Vogue recently.
However, Gwyneth then got to the point that surprised everybody. “But my point is I didn’t know (it was) Kylie Jenner,” she said, adding, “Everyone makes fun of me because I don’t know anything.” Jenner, who was previously dating rapper Travis Scott, has two kids with him — daughter Stormi, 7, and son Aire, 3.
Jenner and Scott began dating in 2017, when they were first spotted at Coachella music festival. They broke up in 2019, but ended up rekindling their relationship during the pandemic while quarantining together for the sake of their daughter, who was just two years old then. Jenner then gave birth to their son in 2022. However, they split up the next year, after which Jenner began dating Chalamet.
Meanwhile, Gwyneth and Chalamet are all set to have very intimate scenes in Marty Supreme. Pictures of them kissing in Central Park in New York City also leaked from the sets. Gwyneth confirmed in an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year that they have “a lot of sex” in the movie. “Oh my God, all of my mom group chats were on fire. Everyone was like, ‘Yes, GP, get it!’. I’m like, ‘Guys, calm down,’” she told British Vogue.

Earlier, Paltrow revealed that an intimacy coordinator approached her to discuss a physical scene on the set, but she felt that it was unnecessary. “I was like, ‘Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on’,” Paltrow said. Paltrow and Chalamet reportedly felt comfortable with the scenes they had to perform and told the intimacy coordinator to “step a little bit back”.
