Gwyneth Paltrowis still dealing with somelingering symptomsafter testing positive for COVID-19 last year.
During a recent sit-down withToday’sSavannah Guthrie, the actress, 48, gave an update on her recovery process.
Although she noted that “sometimes [the symptoms] come back a little bit,” Paltrow said on Thursday’s episode that she thinks she’sgetting “better and better.”
“It’s been pretty crazy though,” she added. “It’s been pretty wild, I’m not gonna lie.”
One of the “silver linings from this crazy 12 months” has been getting to spend so much time with her kids — son Moses, 15, and daughter Apple, 16 — as well as husbandBrad Falchuk, whom shemarriedin 2018, although they waited onmoving in togetherfor another year.
“It was amazing. I married the right dude,” she said. “He is the best and there was nobody better to be stuck with.”

Back in February, the Goop founder shared that she “had COVID-19 early on, and it left me with somelong-tail fatigue and brain fog.”
“He actually only got his taste and smell back in January, so nine months after he lost it,” Paltrow said of her husband, noting that she was still dealing with “a bit of fatigue and brain fog.”
“But there’s so many people who are going through it and we’re getting better all the time,” she added.
As for why she kept her sickness under wraps for months, Paltrow said that it was due to the lack of tests.

Paltrow has also been open about gaining 14 lbs. last year. Over the past few months, she’s abstained from sugar and alcohol and has turned to intermittent fasting to help her on her weight loss journey, sharing in February that she hadalready lost 11 lbs.
“Nine months in quarantine with having pasta and cake and alcohol seven days a week probably didn’t help,” she toldTHR. “So, I’ve been on a really great clean eating routine and then teetotalling for a couple of months now.”
