Gwyneth Paltrow branded as 'cringe' after gushing over 'scripted' praise from husband Brad Falchuk
After sharing various videos of herself making 'boyfriend breakfasts' on Instagram, Gwyneth Paltrow 's husband has responded with his own act of love - a heartfelt text message.
The Goop founder, 52, recently shared a text from Brad Falchuk, her husband of almost seven years, on her podcast.
While the actress admitted text message - in which described all the things he likes about her - made her cry a 'little,' many fans declared the effusive love note 'cringe' - some even accusing Paltrow of writing it herself.
The Academy Award-winning actress read the gushing message from her television writer, director, and producer husband on Tuesday's episode.
Falchuk, 54, started by telling his wife he 'honestly doesn't know' if he has a favorite thing about her.
'I truly love every aspect of you, your physical beauty, the way your body moves through space, the way you disappear a little when you're working, the way your hands add something to a pan, your love of dirty jokes and well plastered walls,' Paltrow read on behalf of a gushing Falchuk.
She continued with the long list, which included 'how much you know about art, that you feel comfortable naked and hate fake people, when you're needy, when you're angry on the road.'
Falchuk's flowery message continued with: 'I love it when you chug water by the bedside at night, I like the things you choose to worry about and how you handle problems.
'I love your morning routine, and when you act like I've been demanding you to get out of the bath, but I haven't said a word about it,' a smiling Paltrow read.
'I love the skin on the back of your knees and the arch in your feet and when you smile at me in bed after you've put in your retainers, I love how hard you try and how often you succeed,' he wrapped up the enthusiastic message, adding: 'I can keep going if you'd like.'
Paltrow looked every bit the loved-up spouse after reading the message, but some fans didn't think it was as sweet as it appeared.
'It looks like I'm in the minority but I find this cringe… not that he wrote it but that she read it out loud,' chimed in another.
'It is all bit too cheese,' agreed someone else.
'Who she ask? ChatGPT???' a cynical user responded.
Someone else shared their theory, writing: 'Ok. I'm thoroughly convinced she wrote out that response prior to interviewing, knowing she'd share it.
'This 100% is not a real response from "Brad" lmfao but hey! She's confident!'
Others loved the sugary-sweet endless message of affirmation.
'Before everyone freaks out on their spouse, please remember this man is a WRITER. Yes, this is all lovely. But if your partner does not have this eloquence, doesn't mean they don't love you,' one user assured others
'Well, that's ridiculous. Makes me a lot less icked out by men,' celerity pal Chelsea Handler wrote.
The Goop founder has been married to Falchuk, a television writer known for co-creating massive hits like Glee and American Horror Story, since 2018.
The couple do not share any children together but are stepparents to each other's kids. Falchuk is stepfather to two kids Paltrow shares with her ex-husband Chris Martin — daughter Apple and son Moses.
The actress is also stepmother to Isabella and Brody, whom Falchuk shares with his ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.
