Gwyneth Paltrow announces social media hiatus ‘to work on being present’…after listing her Montecito guest house on AirBnB
Gwyneth Paltrow is taking a break from social media.
The founder of Goop announced Wednesday afternoon via her Instagram page that she is taking time away from Instagram.
The actress, 50, wrote: ‘I’m taking this energy from the full moon with me as I go into a social media hiatus. Get started with being present. Have a great summer,” adding that her boyfriend, actor John Benjamin Hickey, snapped the photo.
She posed on a patio with the full moon behind her as she soaked up its energy.

Gwyneth refers to the New Moon in Aquarius, which occurred on Tuesday, August 1.
A day earlier, she announced her new partnership with AirBnB via her social media page.
Gwyneth is giving fans the chance to interact with her A-list neighbors in Montecito, including Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, and, of course, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In her latest collaboration with AirBnB, the founder of Goop is offering her chic Montecito guest house in her $4.9 million “eco-mansion” for one night to one lucky fan and their guest — like a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
The star announced the collaboration Tuesday morning, sharing a video tour of her home and “inviting you to come stay the night at my guest house in Montecito.”
Gwyneth revealed that Airbnb had the idea of doing this to “make the world a little less lonely.”
The listing will be live on August 15 at 10 a.m. PST on Airbnb’s website.
Gwyneth and husband Brad Falchuk originally purchased their Montecito mansion in 2016 for $4.9 million.

The property boasts $14,000 square feet and features an Olympic size swimming pool.
When they bought the house it was reported that it needed a lot of work, which already had four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The energy couple had 60 solar panels installed and more trees on the site.
In 2021, only the grass around the freshly landscaped swimming pool has been done; bushes and trees, as well as a stone walkway are completed.
There are two gusts on the property, one facing the huge pool and one facing the stone path.
Planting along the driveway was also added.

Montecito has since become the neighborhood of choice for top-tier celebrities to seek solace away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Oprah Winfrey, and Ellen DeGeneres are just a few of the A-listers living in the favorite celebrity enclave.
The royal couple moved into their sprawling nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion in posh Montecito in June 2020 for $14.65 million.
Meghan and Prince Harry live three miles from Gwyneth and Brad.
Surrounded by lush green gardens and overlooking the sea, the Paltrow/Falchuk home has been described as a ‘hidden paradise’.
“Loneliness is a human condition, but in recent years increased isolation and our lack of communication have made our lives even more fragmented,” Gwyneth said in the caption.
“@airbnb had the brilliant idea to do something to make the world a little less lonely, so I invite you to come stay the night at my guest house in Montecito.”
“While we may start off as strangers, I hope we will find connections and similarities over a delicious meal. Lay by the pool, take one of my favorite walks and of course find a bathroom stocked with my favorite @goop products for a luxurious stay.”
‘Book on August 15 at 10am PST via the link in my bio. Hope to welcome you soon,” she captioned the clip.
