It may have taken over two years (!!) but Gwyneth Paltrow has finally confirmed her very low-key romance with Brad Falchuk.
Taking to Instagram in honour of Brad’s birthday — he turned 45 on March 1 — Gwynnie posted a sweet if not blurry selfie of the two of them cozying up together.
The 44-year-old blonde beauty captioned the photo simply: “Happy birthday, handsome.”
You know what they say, ‘Pics or it didn’t happen!’
The Insta tribute is a long time coming, to say the least…
Gwyn and Brad have been dating since 2014, just a few months after she “consciously uncoupled” from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
The pair met on the set of the musical drama Glee, which happens to be just one of the many projects Brad has co-created and produced. He’s also behind the success of American Horror Story, Scream Queens and if you cast your mind back a little further, he also worked as a writer and executive producer on the nihilistic TV drama Nip/Tuck .
Engagement whispers have encircled the duo for months, after the mother-of-two was caught flashing an impressive ring on that all important finger at a star-studded event celebrating rapper Jay Z back in December.
At the time, a source revealed to The Sun that, “Gwyneth had a huge rock on her wedding finger that caught a few people’s eyes.”
“Later she was introducing Brad to someone he didn’t know and referred to him as her fiancé. She seemed totally loved-up,” the insider added.
Gwyneth and Brad have four children between them, with Gwynnie sharing Apple, 12, and Moses, 10, with ex-hubby, Chris and Brad sharing his children, Isabella and Brody, with his ex-wife, Suzanne.
Coincidentally, Chris celebrated the big 4-0 just one day after the beauty-guru’s new-love. And, of course, Gwynnie celebrated the milestone on Instagram.
“HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY to the best daddy in the world!!! We 💖you so much!” Gwyn captioned the pic of herself and Chris posing with their two children.
Not that anyone’s keeping track… BUT so far the tally sits at:
Brad: 01
Chris: 3456789900008868….
Since splitting with her hubby of close to 13 years, the actress has remained on good terms for the sake of their kids. In the February issue of InStyle magazine, the Shakespeare In Love actress opened up about the closeness she still shares with Chris as they continue to co-parent their two children.
“He’s at my house every single day,” Paltrow told the publication. “We have our own lives but we still have our family life.”
“To this day, Chris would take a bullet for me, even though I’m not his wife,” she revealed.
Speaking of their famed “conscious uncoupling” the actress said, “I honestly think Chris and I have contributed something positive to the culture of divorce.”
“It was such a difficult time in my life and I was trying so hard to protect my children and my family, Chris included. We were both fragile. It was really tough. To me it felt like this is a quiet way to do this and it is contained.”
We wish Brad and Gwynnie all the best in their conscious romance!
