Gwyneth Paltrow Sets The Record Straight On Where Her Friendship Stands With Meghan Markle

Gwyneth Paltrow is setting the record straight on her relationship with Meghan Markle.

Paltrow spoke to People magazine on Saturday about constant comparisons between the two that continue to come up after the Duchess of Sussex launched both her new lifestyle site and Netflix show.

“I don’t like that, when people try to pit women against each other,” the Oscar-winning actor told the outlet.

She said that the two, who both live in Montecito, California, “have a text friendship so far.”

Paltrow seems open to collaborating with Meghan, and said she’d be down to make an appearance on the second season of the royal’s show, “With Love, Meghan.”

“Sure! Why not? You never know,” she said. “I don’t bake that well, but I can always try.”

The Goop founder previously spoke to Vanity Fair about feeling defensive of Meghan, without actually knowing her well.

“I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes,” Paltrow said at the time. “I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.”

She said that when “there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.”

To make sure the masses knew that the “The Talented Mr. Ripley” star and duchess were indeed on each other’s side, the two put out a memorable moment on Instagram in March.

In the video, Paltrow reads a question saying, “Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?”

“I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever,” she says.

The camera then pans to a surprise cameo from Meghan, who is seen grinning and shrugging her shoulders as she eats a piece of pie.
