The Politician actress has spoken openly about her thoughts on aging through the years, telling Bustle in an October 2023 interview that she wasn't bothered about turning 50.

“Fifty was great. I was concerned I was going to feel a lot of grief or fear because I remember when I turned 40, the anticipation… I really flipped out,” Paltrow told the outlet. “I didn’t have that at all at 50. I was like, ‘I love my friends. I love my husband. I love my kids. Yeah, my job is hard. But this is good.’ ”

The star went on, “I don’t give a f--- what anyone says about me, thinks about me. This is who I am. I felt like 50 was a deepening into myself. And, apparently, that just keeps getting better.”

Paltrow's birthday post come after she marked her and Falchuk's sixth wedding anniversary with a cute photo of them kissing on a paddle board on a body of water.

She simply captioned the Sept. 29 Instagram post, "6."

The couple got married on Sept. 29, 2018, in an intimate ceremony attended by 70 guests in the Hamptons, New York.
