Who Is Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin's Ex Hired As Astronomer's 'Temporary' Spokesperson
Just when you thought the 'Jumbotron' moment involving former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and its Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot was fading away, the tech firm announced its new "temporary" spokesperson. And the woman at the forefront of this campaign also has a Coldplay connection. It's none other than Academy Award-winner Gwyneth Paltrow, who is also the former wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. In a minute-long video posted to X, Astronomer announced that she was on board in a "temporary" position "to speak for its 300+ employees". Ms Paltrow is seen answering a few questions asked of the company in the last few days. "OMG! What the actual F..." reads the text on screen before the 52-year-old says, "Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying data, ML and AI pipelines at scale." As for the other questions, such as how the company's social media team were holding up given the global scrutiny of the company, she said: "We still have room ... and we will be returning to what we do best - delivering game-changing returns." Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. — Astronomer (@astronomerio) July 25, 2025 "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," she concluded. Who Is Gwyneth Paltrow? Gwyneth Paltrow was born on September 27, 1972, Los Angeles, California, to television producer Bruce Paltrow and Tony Award-winning actress Blythe Danner. At 11, Ms Paltrow accompanied her family when they moved to Massachusetts. Her father started working in summer stock productions in the Berkshires, and that's when she received her first acting lessons from her parents. After her time at all-girls Spence School in New York City, Ms Paltrow moved to California and attended UC Santa Barbara, majoring in Art History. Her parents supported her decision to drop out of studies and pursue a career in acting and modelling. After some small roles in Steven Spielberg's Hook (1991) and Flesh and Bone (1993), Ms Paltrow shot to the spotlight with Se7en wherein she starred alongside Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. She followed it up with another brilliant performance playing Emma Woodhouse in Emma (1996). She was then offered Viola in Shakespeare in Love (1998), and her breathtaking portrayal won her the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role, according to PEOPLE. In 2002, Ms Paltrow met Coldplay frontman Chris Martin backstage at one of their shows. After dating for a year, they got married and stayed together until 2014. Over the ten years of being together, the couple had two children, Apple and Moses. In 2014, Ms Paltrow announced they were "consciously uncoupling". The duo has since stayed good friends and brought up their children. "I think Chris and I were meant to be together and have our kids," Paltrow said in 2019. "But our relationship is much better like this: friends and co-parents and family." Ms Paltrow remarried TV writer and producer Brad Falchuk in 2018. She is also the subject of a biography authored by Amy Odell. The book will be released on July 29, and it is based on over 220 interviews with industry insiders. Ms Paltrow herself did not participate, Variety reported. What's happening at Astronomer Days after Astronomer put both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot on leave, the two are no longer part of the company. Ms Cabot's resignation came after Byron's last week. Astronomer co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy has, meanwhile, stepped in as interim CEO.

Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly, snapped on sets of Devil Wears Prada 2
Meryl Streep is back, and she's just as fabulous and fearsome as ever. The Oscar-winning actress was recently spotted on the New York City sets of The Devil Wears Prada 2, reprising her iconic role as the icy and impeccably dressed Runway editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly. Dressed in a classic tan trench, a violet blouse tucked into a brown leather skirt, and signature black sunglasses, Streep looked every bit the fashion powerhouse fans remember. Her silver pixie cut — Miranda's trademark — was perfectly in place, hinting that not much has changed when it comes to her commanding screen presence. The sequel to the 2006 cult favourite will see Miranda navigating the challenges of a declining print industry. This time, she finds herself clashing with her former assistant Emily (played by Emily Blunt), now a high-ranking executive at a luxury conglomerate controlling the ad revenue Priestly desperately needs. Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci also return in the much-anticipated follow-up, alongside a fresh cast that includes Kenneth Branagh (as Miranda's husband), Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak. Earlier this week, Hathaway sent fans into overdrive by sharing a TikTok of herself donning a familiar cerulean blue sweater — a clear nod to that iconic monologue from the original film. Oscar-winner Kenneth Branagh has also joined the cast, taking on the role of Miranda Priestly's elusive husband — a character only briefly referenced in the original but never shown on screen. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to release in theatres worldwide on May 1, 2026. The original film followed aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway), whose life was turned upside down after becoming an assistant to Miranda Priestly (Streep), the icy editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. A blend of biting humour, unforgettable fashion, and career ambition, the film earned over $326 million globally and cemented itself as a modern classic.
