Gwyneth Paltrow On Cheating: I’ll Forgive You If You Forgive Me

Gwyneth Paltrow has been married for over a decade but the Park Avenue Princess makes the bombshell admission that she would forgive her husband if he was ever cheating, and hopes he would do the same to her.
The 40-year-old actress and Coldplay singer Chris Martin have weathered their share of cheating rumors, but she says that they have both been faithful in the relationship.
“I think that if the idea of being committed to someone is important to you, you begin to value certain parts of your social life over another,” she told Refinery29.com.
“No couple is the same, and as such, every couple takes on different challenges. I would like to think that I would be forgiving and/or forgiven, but I can’t give an honest answer as I haven’t really experienced that.”
Gwyneth is starring in the new movie Thanks for Sharing and reveals that she, like her character, would be open to a relationship with a sex addict.
“I’m an extremely open-minded person, so I think if it was something I knew I was getting myself into, I wouldn’t let it deter me from exploring the relationship.”
She spoke about how she would feel if she had been cheated on for a long period of time.
“I think it would be hard for me to be one of those wives who finds out there’s been something going on behind my back twenty years in. I’d imagine you’d begin to question your life. It would definitely make things harder, but I believe that if there’s authenticity and honesty right off the bat, things will be okay.”
