Gwyneth Paltrow recently opened up about her evolving friendship with Meghan Markle during an interview at the Mindvalley Manifesting Summit in Los Angeles. Though the two haven’t spent much time together in person due to busy schedules, Paltrow revealed that they maintain a friendly connection through text. Addressing speculation about a feud, Paltrow emphasized her distaste for narratives that pit women against each other, firmly denying any rivalry with the Duchess of Sussex.
Paltrow Supports Meghan While Dismissing Feud Rumors and Embracing Community Connection
Paltrow has consistently shown public support for Meghan’s lifestyle brand and ventures. In a previous interview with Vanity Fair, she underscored her belief that women should support rather than compete with one another. Echoing this sentiment, she praised Meghan’s new lifestyle brand and cooking series, highlighting a shared philosophy rooted in empowerment and mutual respect. Paltrow noted that her upbringing taught her to view women as collaborators, not competitors, and that there’s “always more than enough to go around.”

Rumors of tension between the two were addressed directly in a lighthearted Instagram Q&A, where Paltrow humorously denied any understanding of the alleged drama. Meghan even made a cameo in the video, further debunking the gossip. Living in the same Montecito neighborhood, Paltrow expressed appreciation for the serene, small-town feel of the area, suggesting that their shared environment provides opportunities for bonding over nature and a quieter lifestyle.
Manifestation and Wellness Drive Paltrow’s Personal Growth and Professional Business Success
Speaking at the Mindvalley event, Paltrow elaborated on her enthusiasm for self-improvement and wellness, both personally and professionally. She voiced her admiration for Mindvalley’s mission of fostering personal growth and education. While she doesn’t use vision boards, she does believe in the power of focused intention and manifestation, crediting several achievements in her life, including her relationship with husband Brad Falchuk, to this mindset.
Paltrow believes that her strong, communicative marriage with Falchuk is a direct result of manifestation and personal healing. On the business front, she explained that her success with Goop stems not only from envisioning outcomes but also from strategic planning and disciplined execution. Her approach combines belief with action, a formula that has helped build Goop into a $250 million wellness empire, reflecting her deep commitment to holistic living and intentional growth.
