Mario Batali doesn’t believe Gwyneth Paltrow will ever get married again

wenn22215671

Now that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s marriage is completely over, there are already rumors that Gwyneth might be thinking about jumping into another marriage, possibly with her jumpoff/boyfriend Brad Falchuk. Gwyneth engaged to yet another Brad? I could see it. Although it’s worth noting that Brad Falchuk is simply a peasant-y TV producer. Yes, he’s successful and yes, he’s attractive (to some people). And while Gwyneth wanted Brad so badly that both his and her marriages had to end, some doubt that Gwyneth is looking to remarry at all. Gwyneth’s friend Mario Batali explains:

Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be coupling again at the altar, consciously or otherwise, according to pal Mario Batali. As news broke that the “Iron Man” star and Coldplay’s Chris Martin finally filed for divorce a year after announcing their separation, the chef told Confidenti@l that he doesn’t think she will remarry.

“She’s tried marriage once and I think that’s it,” the Babbo owner told us at the Can Do Awards at Cipriani Wall Street on Tuesday. “She got everything she likes, and she and Chris still probably have a great relationship. I don’t know anything about the new guy,” Batali added, referring to Brad Falchuk, the TV producer whom Paltrow has been dating. But Batali did say his longtime pal is quite the catch. “She’s smart, she’s cute, she’s a really great cook, she’s fun,” he said.

I think Batali is probably on to something. As in, I believe Gwyneth “doesn’t want to remarry” right now. She doesn’t want to marry Brad Falchuk and she doesn’t want to be seen as marrying a TV producer and a guy who was also a married man when they first got together. That kind of drama is for peasants, not elitist Goops. But will Gwyneth remarry eventually? I think she might. But her second husband will have to be A) rich, B) incredibly well-connected, C) royalty or D) someone who is “the best” in their field. I don’t believe Gwyneth would feel the need to date or marry another celebrity or someone well known, but they would have to be rich or “the best” at something.

    Something nice: Gwyneth looks really gorgeous in that second picture.

  2. Unmade_bed says:

    Why marry at all if you can’t have “the best”!

    • Francesca says:

      I could see her following Reese Witherspoon’s lead and marrying a super agent or similar.

  3. Kiddo says:

    Doesn’t this sound like Batali is trying to ‘sell’ Goop to someone else, on the dating scene?

  4. Sam says:

    I’m always perplexed by this friendship, to be honest. Mario is a huge proponent of eating what makes you happy and enjoying food, etc. And Gwyneth is so…restricted. Maybe they never discuss food in detail, but the few chefs I know would totally side-eye a person like her, who seems to let so few foods be part of her diet. It’s weird.

    • Judyk says:

      I am also perplexed by it. I can’t stand Gwyneth or her Mom, who is Batali’s next-door neighbor. He and Gwyneth did a cookbook together years ago. There’s no accounting for personal taste…and, by that, I mean in people.

      You just fell to the bottom of the Totem Pole, Mario.

  5. lisa says:

    well her boyfriend is already married, so i guess that puts a hitch in her giddyup

  6. PunkyMomma says:

    There’s some good snark there concerning Goopy and Mario’s ever-present Crocks, but I’m just not on my game today.

  7. jen2 says:

    She should hang out with Mario more often. She actually looks human and natural, not like an orange, burnished statue frozen in time.

  8. Sea Dragon says:

    Why it’s he commenting on this at all? I wonder if it was pre-approved by Gwennie just to keep the conversation going.

  9. Peggy says:

    Hollywood is full of shallow people, they like to trade in for new models.
    Gwyneth is in her forties, and looks it, too many young girls running around without the baggage she carries.
    She is not all that and a bag of chips, and will cheat on her partner, single or married, no biggie.

  10. boredblond says:

    Does that mean we’ll never get to hear her talk about conscientious coupling?? Or crash-course coupling (Depp), conspicuous coupling (Clooney) or questionable conception coupling (Cumberbatch)??

  11. Maya says:

    Well if Gwyneth wanted to marry a man who is top at the game, hot, filthy rich and well connected – that will be the other Brad aka Brad Pitt.

    Unfortunately for Gwyneth she had him, cheated on him and lost him.

    More importantly Mr Pitt is married to the equally hot, top at their game, well connected and filthy rich Angelina Jolie Pitt.

    Btw – Why doesn’t Gwyneth get crusified by the media and public for wrecking a marriage with children involved????

    PS: she looks really good on those pictures.

  12. taterho says:

    I would like to see Gwyn date/marry someone totally out of left field. Like maybe Gerard Butler or DiCapriho. Would be an endless stream of joy for me. Because it’s all about my needs as a gossip consumer.

    • frisbeejada says:

      God you make me howl with laughter…and I love the way you have your priorities right as well. More really bad relationships choices please Goopy it’s time to fulfill your true purpose in life.

    • Sea Dragon says:

      Lol

    • Ankhel says:

      YES. Dicaprio. Unconscious coupling. In a tawdry little Vegas chapel, skunk drunk, giggling, dressed like a cowgirl in pink and tassels. And then, the hangover… Dear God, let It happen…

  13. Tiffany says:

    That is because she will not settle for anything less than a billionaire. She feels she is entitled to one.

  14. Cankles says:

    Every time I see a picture of her boyfriend, I think for a second that he’s that dude who often runs around with the Kardashians. I think he’s a hairdresser, maybe? Not really sure. But they look a lot alike.

  15. Ms. Turtle says:

    I could see her remarrying later. To someone similar to who Selma Hayak is married to. Possibly a French man who could look the other way or have an open marriage. Someone who is even richer than she is. Brad Falchuk doesn’t fit that bill.

    • VirgiliaCoriolanus says:

      He’d have to be a starf*cker then. A nostalgic starf*cker. I think Goop is a perfectly attractive forty something year old woman. But that’s it. She isn’t a Salma Hayek (who looks effing amazing, no matter what I think of her personally). And she isn’t at the top of her career. She’s barely relevant. But maybe she’ll find some billionaire that likes to teach peasants how to survive on cilantro and lime juice for a week….

    • Lurker says:

      Yeah I could see that. Her own billionaire. Like that guy Elle MacPherson landed (and who supposedly did it with GOOP too). Or the guy Elle had before – Arpad Busson (who then moved onto Uma Thurman).

    She has a really pretty smile when she shows her smile bones.
