Gwyneth Paltrow forces kids to speak Spanish
OHMYGOSSIP — The actress is so keen for her kids Apple, 9, and Moses, 7, to be well-rounded and worldly that she sometimes encourages them to speak with her only in Spanish. While at Cameron Diaz’s Beverly Hills home for the Oct. 12 wedding of Diaz’s assistant, Jesse Lutz, the Iron Man 3 star, 41, urged her children to put their language skills to use, according to Us Weekly.
“Gwyneth reminded them through the party,” a source said.
At one point, Apple came to her table and asked, in Spanish, if she could sit on her lap!”
Paltrow — who’s married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin — recently defended her parenting choices in an interview with U.K. magazine Red.
“That idea of ‘Oh God, if I don’t show up to this concert, all the other mums are going to think I’m terrible.’ Well, so f–king what,” the Oscar winner said.
“It’s like, when I’m with my kids, I give them everything I have. And when I’m not, I give whatever I’m doing everything I have. And that’s my work/life balance.
“I’ve made it work for me, but it doesn’t matter what my specific thing is.
“It’s like, what’s your specific thing? How do you want your life to look? It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It matters what you think of yourself. And what your children think…I’d say, do what is right for you and don’t give a s–t what anyone else thinks.”
