Gwyneth Paltrow is dishing on her experience officiating Rob Lowe’s son Matthew’s wedding.
“To be so close to in such close proximity to people making that commitment was so incredible to see their little faces and the emotion and to watch the energy shift and feel it as they, like, made that commitment to each other,” Paltrow, 54, said during the Wednesday, November 11, episode of her podcast, “The Goop Guide with Gwyneth Paltrow.”
She continued, “I still have chills when I think about it. Just call me Pastor Gwen.”
Matthew, 33, tied the knot with Emily Markus in Santa Barbara, California, on October 10. The star-studded guest list included Katy Perry, Chris Pratt, Cameron Diaz, Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo, Maria Shriver, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, Christina Schwarzenegger, Christopher Schwarzenegger, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion.
The pair said “I do” after getting engaged in July 2025.
“Lord of the rings,” he captioned photos of the proposal shared via Instagram.
Paltrow is a longtime friend of Lowe’s. She first met his wife, makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff, as a teen when Berkoff, 65, was working on a film set with Paltrow’s mom, actress Blythe Danner.
“I met Sheryl and I was immediately obsessed with her,” the Iron Man actress told Lowe, 62, on his “Literally! With Rob Lowe” podcast in 2020. “First of all, she was dating Keanu Reeves, who was my celebrity crush. And she was so cool.”
Paltrow also shared at the time that Berkoff, who tied the knot with Lowe in 1991, gave her some NSFW advice.
“She taught me how to give a b**wjob, and you know, all the classic Sheryl stuff,” she quipped. “I just worshipped her. I thought she was literally the coolest chick of all time, and she was so awesome to me and I was a high school kid.”
In addition to Matthew, Lowe and Berkoff share son John, 31.
Paltrow, meanwhile, tied the knot with writer, director and producer Brad Falchuk in 2018. (She was previously married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, with whom she shares kids Apple, 22, and Moses, 20.)
In September, Paltrow made a rare comment about blending families with Falchuk, 55, who shares two kids with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.
“I have one girl and one boy, and then Brad has one girl and one boy,” she said during an episode of the “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast. “So I have two girls and two boys.”
Though Paltrow said their kids “get along” now, she admits her family’ s interpersonal relationships weren’t seamlessly forged.
“It was like the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she said of merging their families. “It just didn’t go well for a really long time.”
Paltrow continued, “We never did family therapy altogether, but we, I don’t know, it just ended up … I did a lot of work on myself and around, like, why is this so triggering, and why are my feelings so hurt, and why am I having like these non-adult reactions to a child, you know? And they ended up teaching me so much, and I really am so grateful that I traversed through all of that, but it was rough, but now it’s amazing.”
