Gwyneth Paltrow Said to Be Converting to Judaism: "I Am The Original Jewish Mother"

After consciously uncoupling with Coldplay frontman and husband Chris Martin, actress Gwyneth Paltrow is now converting to Judaism, the Daily Mail has reported.

Despite being good pals with Kabbalah Centre co-director Michael Berg, the "Iron Man" star has reportedly been quietly altering her Kabbalah ways, which is founded on Judaism.

Although there has been no comment from Paltrow's rep, the 41-year-old actress' late father, film producer Bruce Paltrow, had been a Jew. Her mother, Blythe Danner, remains a Christian.

Paltrow has claimed in the past that she grew up following both Jewish and Christian ways, describing the experience as "such a nice way to grow up."

In an interview with The Guardian, the Academy Award-winning actress stated that her father came from a long line of Russian rabbis. "Like, 17 generation of rabbis- you see, I really am a Jewish princess."

In 2011, Paltrow was featured on "Who Do You Think You Are?", which looked into her family descending from a long line of Eastern European rabbis.

At a London event, she also mentioned about wanting her children, 10-year-old Apple and 8-year-old Moses, to grow up in a Jewish environment, despite their father following Christian practices. The event was reportedly hosted by a charitable organization, Community Security Trust, which represents Jewish causes and interests.

Last year, Paltrow promoted her cookbook "It's All Good" and called herself the "original Jewish mother".

"Creating a meal for my family and friends, sitting together, eating, laughing and talking, that's when I'm happy," the actress told You magazine. "Oh my God, if you saw the amount of food that I do. I am the original Jewish mother. I make meals from these new recipes that look, smell and taste like the food I always cooked, but are also super healthy. That is an additional joy."

This week, the actress appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's show and opened up about her benefit concert for Stand Up to Cancer. Funds to be pulled in will be allocated for research on new treatments for cancer patients.
