Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Brad Falchuk, recently opened up about a decision they now regret from the start of their marriage.

The couple revealed that they chose to live separately for the first year after they got married. Both say they wouldn't make the same choice if they could go back.

During a candid talk on Paltrow's "Goop" podcast, the actress, 52, explained, "I think at the time, we really felt like we were doing the right thing. We were trying to kind of land the plane very, very gently and slowly and get everybody on board."

According to People, when Falchuk asked if she would make that decision again, Paltrow answered honestly, "I don't think so."

The "Glee" co-creator, 54, agreed and added that they had made the choice to live apart to help their children from previous marriages adjust.

Paltrow has two children with ex Chris Martin — Apple, 21, and Moses, 19 — while Falchuk shares daughter Isabella, 21, and son Brody, 18, with his ex-wife Suzanne Bulnik.

Falchuk reflected, "I think them having agency is really important. But power, to actually keep these two adults from living together? I think it made them more uncomfortable and more like, 'OK, this is not something that is solid.'"

He believes the decision to live separately gave the kids "too much power" in the situation.
