Gwyneth Paltrow is playfully reflecting on her romantic history in Hollywood.
The Goop founder, 52, put her own spin on the viral “suspect” social media trend, where one person roasts the other while pretending to give police-inspired descriptions during a painfully slow pursuit. For her twist, however, Paltrow stayed still and faced the camera with a martini – sometimes two – in hand.
“Suspect has dated all the Brads in Hollywood,” a voice could be heard saying in the beginning of a video posted via TikTok on Friday, November 22. Paltrow replied, “Cheers to that,” before clinking two martini glasses together and sipping out of one.
“Guilty as charged,” the Politician actress captioned the clip, which garnered tons of cheeky comments from followers. (Paltrow has been married to writer and director Brad Falchuk since 2018.)
“Suspect is iconic,” wrote one TikTok user, while another said, “Lmaooooooo love her sense of humor.”
However, some social media users had mixed responses about Paltrow leaving out one of the main components of the challenge: running away.

“Suspect just sitting there,” said one internet user, while a separate user wrote, “Suspect is actually too cool to run which is the main part of the suspect trend.”
Someone on the opposite end of the spectrum added, “This remake is WAY superior to the fake runs we watched lol. She [obviously] had to make this cool and chic!”
Paltrow famously dated Brad Pitt from 1994 to 1997 after meeting on the set of their thriller film, Se7en. Despite getting engaged in December 1996, the couple went their separate ways in the summer the following year.
“I think I was a kid and I wasn’t ready. He was too good for me,” Paltrow said while reflecting the former couple’s split during a January 2015 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. “I honestly do think I was too young and didn’t know what I was doing.”
The exes reunited in June 2022 when Paltrow interviewed the Moneyball actor about his involvement with one of her Goop products. During their chat, Pitt, 60, told his ex-fiancée that it was “lovely” to have her “as a friend now” and told her, “I do love you,” to which she responded, “I love you so much.”
Following her breakup with Pitt, the Shallow Hal star went on to date Ben Affleck on and off from 1997 to 2000 before moving on with costar Luke Wilson after meeting on the set of their 2001 movie, The Royal Tenenbaums. The twosome dated for about a year before calling it quits.
After meeting at a Coldplay concert in 2002, Paltrow dated lead singer Chris Martin for more than a year before they tied the knot in December 2003. They were married for a little over a decade before announcing their “conscious uncoupling,” and finalized their divorce in April 2015. Together they share two children: daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 18.
The Oscar winner met her current husband on the set of Glee in 2014. Four years later, the pair exchanged vows at the wellness mogul’s East Hampton, New York, home. Following the nuptials, Paltrow became stepmom of Falchuk’s daughter Isabella and son Brody, whom he shares with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.
