Last month, Paltrow participated in an installment ofVogue‘s 73 Questions series, sharing sometidbits about her motherhood journey with fans.
When asked what the biggest surprise about being a mom is, she replied, “How much love there is in this thing,” gesturing to her heart.
Later, she was asked about what traits her kids — both of whom she shares with ex-husbandChris Martin— get from her.
“I think Moses got his deliberation from me and Apple, her sense of humor,” Paltrow answered.

In an AugustInstagram Q&A, Paltrow opened up about being a stepmom to husbandBrad Falchuk’s two teenage kids Brody andIsabella, admitting, “I did find it really hard at first.”
“You know,there’s no book on this; nobody tells us what to do. And in fact, all of the existing media around what a stepmother is casts us in this evil, villainous light,” she continued. “So it’s kind of like trying to avoid land mines. And then you’re going into a family with dynamics. And there’s all kinds of fear around loss and what does this person mean?”
Paltrow added, “But for myself, the minute I decided, and fully embodied the idea that my stepkids were my kids and I love them just as much and I gave them the same rules and boundaries, and just kind of whole-heartedly went for it, then the easier the whole thing got. And now it’s pretty great.”
Elsewhere in the Q&A, theIron Manactress also reflected on her experience during the first trimesters being pregnant with her children.
“I wish more people had told me how hard it can be,” she said. “I had a lot of people in my life who were like, ‘I feel amazing pregnant’ — and I felt so terrible. So, the best thing is it’s worth it. It is so worth it, I can’t even tell you.”
