Gwyneth Paltrow has set some seriously high relationship goals after her husband’s transcript was presented in the recent Goop podcast AMA. The actress did post an Instagram excerpt of the clip wherein she basically read aloud the text from her husband’s phone-Bruce Falchuk-a letter most men would laugh or cry.

In the video, Paltrow recounts how she was pondering texting her husband inquiring about his favorite thing about her. When he replied he couldn’t think of just one, he proceeded to lavish all things that he loves about her. “From the way she moves through space,” he said, “to her morning rituals, to dirty jokes, and to the skin behind her knees.” Despite the odd request, it continued: “let me know if you want me to continue.” At this juncture, Paltrow said, “Okay, I’m crying a little.”

This post put the web into a frenzy since it was shared on Instagram. One gave the whole thread a laugh, joking how until then, they thought she was reading a message from Brad Pitt. Another witty remark expressed that their “CHAT GBT husband” could not hold a candle to this romantic grandeur. On the softer side, however, some users sighed, “i’m so jealous that nobody has ever said this to me,” with another chiming in “…or if you don’t have a partner…😥.”

Here one of them joined realistically, saying, “Falchuk is literally a professional writer- he co-created shows like Glee and American Horror Story-so don’t expect your non-writer partner to come up with Shakespearean texts of love on demand.” This inspired a passionate debate about expectations in relationships and how love looks different to all of us.

Interesting enough, Jennifer Aniston also liked the video-post, adding bright stars to the whole ruinous Brad Pitt confusion situation. The internet, of course, did not miss it.

More mocks started from a few skeptics saying the love letter could very much have been generated by AI (2024 problems), yet the vast majority of the comments genuinely expressed awe and were touched by the openness it revealed. Rarities are those occasions where one sees celebrities showing such vulnerability while discussing their relationships. Over Goop, Paltrow has put herself out there about her personal life a lot, and yet this felt different-something much more real, more relatable, given all that detail.

Things then went down the line of an interesting study of the general public’s reaction to affectionate displays in the public sphere. Thus, some found it inspiring (“May this kind of love attack us all”), others reminiscing (“All my boyfriends were abusive”), while others found only the glasses Paltrow wore during the reading worthy of discussion (anyone older than 40 will agree with me).

Nevertheless, at the end of the day, whichever end of the spectrum your opinion lay on-with this being either heartwarming or cringe-the very conversation is good celebrity content. And in the current digital trope-fast established communication, second-hand superficial connections-rise up as a breath of fresh air-watching people outline why they love each other, right down to the arch of their feet and their middle-of-the-night-water-chugging habits.
