Gwyneth Paltrow loves being a mom of two, but there was once a time when she wished she'd had more kids.

On an episode of The goop Podcast, the actress, 52, who shares daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 19, with ex-husband Chris Martin, spoke with her husband Brad Falchuk to discuss stepparenting and shared that she once felt like she regretted not having more kids.

"My dad used to say the only regret he had in his entire life was not having more kids," Paltrow told her husband. "And I felt like that for a long time, until I got yours too."

However, after marrying Falchuk and becoming stepmom to his two kids — Isabella, 20, and Brody, 18 — she began to feel like her family was more complete. "I got to tack on," she said.

When asked by Falchuk if there was a moment for her when it sunk in that they'd become a blended family of six, Paltrow shared that it was during a dinner at home.

"The girls were graduating, and it started to just feel really light and really cohesive," Paltrow said. "And since then, we've had so many moments like that."

"And I feel like it keeps deepening and getting, I don't know, it's such a particular kind of delight to see our four kids in their own relationships and being friends with each other and loving each other," she added.

In a past episode of her podcast, Paltrow opened up about the topic of becoming a stepmom while speaking with Falchuk about parenting, admitting there's one thing she regrets doing at the time.

"It's funny because there's just no playbook for how to do it and nobody says, 'Hey, you're going to be a stepmother,' " Paltrow said about learning how to stepparent. "I don't know, I think there's like this archetypal evil stepmother and this inference that it's going to be this fraught thing, so I think I came into it on tenterhooks, like, 'Oh my Gosh.'"

"It's like you can only kind of do the wrong thing, especially because your kids were more resistant," she added.

Falchuk, on his part, admitted that his kids were indeed hesitant about ditching their "great little pack" when he and Paltrow married. He added that he and his wife have both noted throughout their marriage, however, that her own "hesitancy" about the situation "probably freaked them out, too."

"That's my only regret," Paltrow said about the adjustment to living as a stepparent. "Is that whenever it was, however many years ago, when I was just like, 'F--- it, these are my kids, I love them. I'm not going to be scared to discipline them or draw the boundary.' That's really what shifted everything, I feel like."
