Marriage in crisis?
Gwyneth Paltrow and her television producer hubby Brad Falchuk are reportedly living separate lives as their relationship hits another rough patch.
"They've hardly spent any time together lately, and now Gwyneth is talking about going away to Europe this summer without him," a source spilled in this week's print issue of Star Magazine.
"Gwyneth is always making jokes about how she'd rather spend time with her friends than with Brad," the source continued of the rocky relationship. "But a lot of people are convinced that this solo trip will be the final nail in the coffin."
This comes after a source dished the duo was already in a "rut" and decided it was for the best to take "mini breaks" away from each other, despite tying the knot less than four years ago.
"Taking time apart to get closer sounds like a recipe for disaster to their friends," the source shared back in January. "Then again, Gwyneth has never done things the conventional way."

In April, another source explained Falchuk is "itching for some excitement" in their marriage — especially in the bedroom department. Despite wishing he could cuddle with his wife and have a glass of wine, the Iron Man star reportedly insists on keeping a strict routine which leaves little room for spontaneity and romance.
“It’s lights out at nine most nights, and she ditched the lingerie a long time ago,” an insider dished on the Goop founder. “Now it’s just PJs, skincare masks and a cup of hot tea.”
The insider added that while Paltrow definitely still has the body to rock sexy little numbers, the 49-year-old almost exclusively wears baggy clothing that covers up her "fabulous figure."
"Brad’s been trying to convince her to bring back the tight jeans and little dresses she used to wear when they were first together," the insider noted, before mentioning The Talented Mr. Ripley actress is just "not in the headspace" for it.
