Gwyneth Paltrow has accidentally revealed who is in her inner circle in a new post.
The Oscar-winning star was wishing a longtime, non-famous friend a happy birthday on Monday with an Instagram carousel.
And in doing so, the GOOP founder shared several images of her inner circle.
The list in pretty impressive.
In one image alone, Paltrow was seen with Jennifer Aniston – who was wed to Gwyneth’s former fiance Brad Pitt – and Robert Downey Jr’s wife Susan Nicole Downey, who is a film producer.
Also in the post were sH๏τs of Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Erin Foster and Tobey Maguire’s ex-wife Jennifer Meyer, a jewelry designer whose father is movie mogul Ron Meyer.

The lucky pal is Daun Dees.
The brunette is a Los Angeles based fashion designer who works with Rivet Utility, a clothing company.
Paltrow used the caption: ‘@daundees through life’s ups and downs, all it’s joys and tumults, you bring sense and peace to all of us who are loved by you. You are sunshine, you are truth. I love you so much. Happy birthday.’
In 2023, Paltrow said on her Instagram Story she was very close to Aniston.
‘Yes I am so lucky,’ Paltrow said after a fan asked if they were pals. She also uploaded a pH๏τo showing her and Aniston embracing as Aniston kissed her on the cheek.
Aniston was among the celebrity guests at Paltrow’s engagement party to Brad Falchuk in 2018.
They are both linked to Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband Pitt.
Brad and Paltrow dated from 1994 to 1997, and Aniston was married to the actor from 2000 until their divorce in 2005.
This comes after Paltrow has had to deal with ‘painful’ changes in 2024.
The 52-year-old actress – who has also made millions as the founder of wellness brand Goop – reflected on the previous 12 months as she looked on into 2025.

She revealed that while she has had some ‘very strong lessons’ this year, she has also had to learn to ‘let go’ of some things, no matter how difficult it can be to do so.
In her latest Goop newsletter, she said: ‘My friend got me a numerology reading, and I learned I’m in a nine year, which is year of completions and endings.
‘I had a few very strong lessons around completing certain things. I had a bunch of goodbyes this year. I had some revelations that led to the ends of things.
‘The numerologist contextualized all of this for me, but this year was about learning to understand that it was a year of endings.
‘And that sometimes those endings have been really painful and have come with big change and recalibrations. I’ve learned to loosen my grip on things and deeply learn to let go.

‘And also to understand that everything is always happening for your highest good, even if it’s super uncomfortable.’
The Shallow Hal star – who has Apple, 20, and 18-year-old Moses with her ex-husband Chris Martin – also shared the things she has had to ‘let go’ of recently on Instagram.
The first item on the list was ‘the phase of life where everyone is always under one roof’, which comes after both of her children flew the nest to attend college.
She also listed ‘our home’, ‘some very cherished colleagues’, ‘Los Angeles’ and ‘our dog’, in remembrance of her pooch Nero who pᴀssed away earlier this year.
