Who is Brad Falchuk? Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband testifies at ski trial
Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband, Brad Falchuk, is expected to testify Thursday as proceedings in her ski crash trial near a close.
“Brad Falchuk has not been in the courtroom,” Court TV’s Julia Jenaé tweeted Wednesday afternoon.
“The defense has gone back and forth about whether he’ll testify in person or via his deposition today or tomorrow.”
Retired optometrist Terry Sanderson is suing Paltrow for $300,000, claiming the Oscar winner crashed into him as they skied separately at Utah’s Deer Valley Resort in 2016, leaving him with a life-altering brain injury.
Paltrow, 50, is countersuing the 76-year-old doctor for $1 in damages, alleging it was he who ran into her.
The depositions of Paltrow’s daughter Apple, 18, and son Moses, 16 — whom she shares with her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin — were read in the courtroom Tuesday, with Apple recalling how her mother declared, “This a-hole ran into me!”
Falchuk, who was also on the ski trip, is on deck to testify. Here’s what we know about the 52-year-old TV writer and producer.
Falchuk’s career got underway when he was hired for Ryan Murphy’s “Nip/Tuck” in 2003. He went on to collaborate with Murphy on other hits including “Glee,” “American Horror Story,” “American Crime Story” and “Pose.”
Falchuk and Paltrow met in 2010 when she guest-starred on “Glee,” reconnecting in 2014 when she reprised the role of substitute teacher Holly Holliday. The pair started dating that summer, after Paltrow announced her separation from Martin, whom she wed in 2003.
Martin, 46, and Paltrow finalized their divorce in 2016.
After nearly four years of dating, Paltrow and Falchuk announced their engagement in January 2018, gushing over their love for each other.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship,” the pair said in their announcement.
Falchuk has two children, Brody and Isabella, with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik, whom he divorced in 2013 after more than a decade of marriage.
Falchuk is reportedly close with Martin, with Paltrow even snapping a pic of them grinning at the camera over a brunch in 2017.
