The post comes after Paltrow announced her engagement to television producer Brad Falchuk earlier this year. The couple released a joint statement to Good Morning America, saying they felt "incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship."

Paltrow and Falchuk went public with their romance in 2015, when they attended Robert Downey Jr's 50th birthday party together.
