Gwynnie's Perfect Life

Gwyneth and baby AppleThings couldn't be peachier for Gwyneth Paltrow.

And on the subject of fruit, it's all down to daughter Apple and a plum family life.

"Having Apple has changed everything for me," the actress told the Mirror.

"She's lovely and I feel so lucky to have her. It's a good time in my life. It's like I won the Lottery. I feel very blessed."

Looking back on her hectic acting career, she said:

"I worked so much for so long. I achieved a lot early, but I wasn't very happy. At this point... I have a real life."

And just when you thought it couldn't get any more perfect, Gwynnie has even landed the ideal mother-in-law.

With hubby Chris Martin"You hear terrible stories about mothers-in-law but mine is so fantastic and loving."

If you're reaching for the sick bag, try to remember that Gwynnie has been due a happy ending for some time.

Until she met husband Chris Martin of Coldplay, the Oscar-winner had been fruitlessly (sorry) looking for Mr Right since Brad Pitt broke off their engagement back in 1996. 

And the death of her much-loved father Bruce really took its toll.

A great home life is not keeping the Shakespeare In Love star out of the acting lark completely though.

She's still keeping a hand in with movies Proof, the part of Peggy Lee in a film about author Truman Capote and a cameo in Brit comedy Love And Other Disasters.

Now bring on the sick bag.
