Gwyneth Paltrow Opens Up About Her Family's 'New Normal'
As millions of Americans continue to adjust to life under stay-at-home orders amid the global coronavirus pandemic, Gwyneth Paltrow has shared how she and her husband, Brad Falchuk, are managing this challenging time. The actress revealed their strategies for staying safe and making the most of the situation in a heartfelt Instagram post that resonated with her fans.
Staying Safe While Grocery Shopping
Gwyneth, 47, shared a glimpse into her daily routine by detailing a recent trip to the local farmers market. “Brad and I were so thankful to learn our local farmers market was still open,” she wrote. “We walked there, making sure to keep a good distance from others, and we wore masks and gloves once we got closer to the market. We only took them off when we were almost home, and there were no other pedestrians nearby.”
View this post on InstagramBrad and I were grateful to learn our local farmers market was open this morning; we walked there (keeping lots of distance) and donned masks and gloves once we got nearer to the market, only taking them off when we were almost home and there were no other pedestrians in close proximity. Yesterday I heard tales of crowded hiking trails and parks. Although we are all on a learning curve and aren’t always perfect as we figure out this temporary new normal, we must take the orders seriously and not abuse the freedoms we still have; grocery store and essential errand runs, bike rides or walks (being disciplined about correct protocol). It’s not the time for denial. We must take this seriously and shelter in place. It’s time for nesting, reading, cleaning out closets, doing something you’ve always wanted to do (write a book, learn an instrument or a language or learn to code online, draw or paint) going through photos, cooking, and reconnecting on a deeper level with the people you love. I find hope in the generosity, love, protection and care I see and feel through out our country everyday and my heart goes out to everyone directly affected or simply in fear. We will get through and I bet you our humanity will shine like never before ❤️

Why We Need to Take the Situation Seriously
Gwyneth emphasized the importance of following safety guidelines in her post. “I’ve heard stories about crowded hiking trails and parks, and it’s clear that some people aren’t taking this seriously enough,” she noted. “We’re all learning as we go, but we need to be responsible and respect the freedoms we still have. This includes essential trips to the grocery store, bike rides, or walks—always keeping a safe distance from others.”
Life During a Pandemic
Throughout March, many states and communities in the U.S. have implemented measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. Schools have closed, public transportation schedules have been adjusted, and major events like the Met Gala and Coachella have been postponed. “It’s not a time to ignore the reality of what’s happening,” Gwyneth urged in her post. “We need to take this seriously and stay home. Now’s the perfect opportunity to focus on things we might have been putting off—reading, organizing our spaces, picking up a new hobby, or reconnecting with loved ones.”
Gwyneth’s Suggestions for Staying Engaged
Gwyneth shared a list of activities that can help people make the most of their time at home. “It’s a great time to nest, clean out your closets, or try something you’ve always wanted to do,” she suggested. “Maybe you’ve been thinking about writing a book, learning an instrument, picking up a new language, or even learning to code. You can also dive into your photo albums, experiment with cooking, or explore your creative side by drawing or painting.”
Gwyneth’s Message of Hope
Gwyneth concluded her post with a heartfelt message to her followers. “I’m inspired by the kindness and care I see every day across the country,” she wrote. “My heart goes out to everyone who’s been affected by this crisis, whether directly or indirectly. We will get through this, and I truly believe that humanity will emerge stronger and more compassionate than ever.”
