Despite stepping away from social media, Paltrow will still be connected to her fans this summer — including on Sept. 9, when she willhost a one-night stayat her Montecito, California guest house, via Airbnb.
In a video posted to her Instagram grid Tuesday, theIron Manactress opened up about her inspiration for offering up the stay, as well as gave afull tour of the property.
“Loneliness is a human condition, but in the past few years, increased isolation and our lack of community has made our lives even more fragmented," Paltrow wrote alongside the clip. “@airbnbhad the brilliant idea of doing something to make the world a little less lonely, which is why I’m inviting you to come stay at my Montecito guesthouse for a night.”
During the tour, Paltrow happily explained what perks in the home might be particularly interesting to guests, including a fully outfitted kitchen for professionally crafted meals with her and husbandBrad Falchuk, a wine cellar, and a pool nestled in nature with breathtaking views.
As for social media, Paltrow previously revealed why she wouldn’t allow her children — daughterApple, now 19, and sonMoses, now 17 — to use it.
“I won’t let them be public on any social media or anything like that,” the actress said on theLiterally! With Rob Lowepodcast in July 2020, when her children were 16 and 14. “I try to keep them out of the public eye as much as possible.”
“You know, now it’s different, ‘cause kids are like, ‘Can I have a YouTube channel?’ andI’m like, ‘No, you can’t. Absolutely not,’ " Paltrow said, adding that Apple and Moses “understand” her rules.
“As a parent you think, all I can do for these kids is teach them right from wrong and teach them what work is,” she added at the time.
The mother of two shares her kids with ex-husbandChris Martin, and is also stepmom to Falchuk’s two teenagers: daughterIsabellaand sonBrody.
