Gwyneth Paltrow’s “boyfriend breakfast” videos have become a staple of her social media presence, documenting her best efforts to prepare gourmet home meals for her husband Brad Falchuk.
For her latest stab at breakfast, however, a Tuscan-inspired sausage skillet, the actress, 52, went balls to the wall and gave cooking chic a new look.
Check out Gwyneth’s new take on kitchen attire in her latest “boyfriend breakfast” in the video below…
Wearing simply a pair of frilly shorts and a pair of slippers, and going completely topless, certainly got a reaction out of the star’s fans, with even Jennifer Garner chiming in with: “Can I be your boyfriend?”
Others reacted with comments like: “A naked Hook, clever,” as well as the quippy: “I make breakfast the same way only I raise the shades so I could give my neighbor a treat.”
However, another one to react was none other than her daughter with ex-husband Chris Martin, Apple. The 21-year-old commented: “Did I steal your shirt by accident or…,” which her mom simply responded to with a crying-laughing emoji. Gwyneth and Chris also share a son, Moses.
The “boyfriend breakfast” has become a tradition of sorts in the GOOP founder’s family, which began back when she first started dating the Glee co-creator, 54.
“Making food and giving through food is part of my love language,” Gwyneth previously wrote for a blog on her website. “I’ve always cooked for my friends and my kids, and I love to do it for Brad, too, so our ‘boyfriend breakfasts’ are something of a sacred tradition between us at this point.”
Looking back on how it all began, she recalled: “Sometimes neither of us had our kids on Saturday mornings, so it became a thing, and both of us still relish the energy it brings to our relationship.”

Gwyneth also challenged the idea of cooking for her partner as being inherently “anti-feminist” and seen as “subservience,” adding to it: “Those biases and assumptions need reexamining.”
“What’s actually anti-feminist, at this point, is prescribing what feminism is — including looking down on domesticity. I believe in a version of feminism where every person can express the traditionally ‘feminine’ aspects of themselves as they see fit. It nurtures me — and nurtures many people, of all genders — to nurture.”

Cooking is also, for me — and I think many type A people — relaxing and grounding.”
The Iron Man star also explained that she found that embracing the more “old-fashioned” balances helped her find a shift between the driven side of herself and one that was much “softer.”

You access that aspect through sexuality, of course, but I find I can also access a similar kind of energetic shift through cooking.”
