Gwyneth has previously admitted feeling anxious about the prospect of her children flying the nest. Speaking at an event for her wellness brand Goop she told The Hollywood Reporter: "It’s kind of giving me a nervous breakdown, if I’m honest. I started being like: 'Oh my God, and I need to quit my job and I need to sell my house and I need to move.' It’s sort of putting things into turmoil.

"My identity has been being a mother. Apple's going to be 20 in May. So I’ve oriented my whole life around them and their schedules and when school starts. You start to let go in increments when they’re driving themselves around or doing certain things. It is a slower process."

Gwyneth added that she feels "really lucky because I have a close group of mom friends and we all raised our kids alongside one another. So we’re kind of in it together."
