Gwyneth Paltrowis opening up about what she says might be her husbandBrad Falchuk’s “love language.”
Paltrow, 50, spoke with PEOPLE Wednesday at a Los Angeles press event for herCopper Fit partnership, explaining that she makes her weekly “boyfriend breakfast” for her husband, who fittingly “loves breakfast.”
The Politicianactress also detailed how one can be labeled a feminist and still want to cook, reflecting on a conversation she had with her team atGoop.
“It’s because there is this idea that domesticity … holds a woman back,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s old-fashioned. But for me, I really derive so much grounding and pleasure from it.”
“And if you ask my kids, it’s the way I express love. It’s like, ‘Oh,you’re home. Can I make yousome quesadilla and guacamole?’ " Paltrow adds.

Cooking can also be a bit of a mental release for the Goop founder, as she tells PEOPLE that it “gets you out of your work stress.”
“For me, anyway, it gets me in a completely different head space,” Paltrow says.
For a while now, Paltrow has been sharing photos ofher go-to “boyfriend breakfasts,“and recently revealed toVoguehow the hearty meals began.
The breakfasts can vary, with one involving a frittata with turkey bacon, potatoes, spinach and caramelized onions — but Paltrow reiterated that some friends found the tradition to be too “old-fashioned” at first.
“I noticed that when I would tell peoplethat I really love to cook for Brad, some of my friends were like, ‘Wow, that’s so old-fashioned.’ And they were kind of teasing me about it,” she said.
But ultimately, as Paltrow elaborated, “It feeds me to take care of people and cook as much as I hope it takes care of them.”
“I actually think it’s a strong feminist statement to cook for the people that you love if you want to,” she toldVogue.
Paltrow’s “boyfriend breakfasts” aren’t just pictures of meals, either. The actress occasionally uploads a photo of the finished product to Instagram with a detailed recipe for her followers to keep up with the healthy wake-up options.
“All I know is that they’repainting me gold and that I have to be naked,” Paltrow previously shared about the photo shoot. “I feel so good turning 50, and this is about expressing that sense of energy and optimism that I’m experiencing. It’s more about the female gaze and just a sense of fun.”
