LOS ANGELES - Actress Gwyneth Paltrow on Tuesday announced her engagement to US television producer Brad Falchuk, saying she had decided to give marriage a second shot after accepting "the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities" of intimacy.

Paltrow, 45, who famously described her 2014 separation from her Coldplay frontman husband Chris Martin as a "conscious uncoupling," confirmed the engagement in an interview for the latest edition of her lifestyle magazine Goop.

"I have tried to accept how complex romantic love can be. I have decided to give it (marriage) a go again, not only because I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with, but because I have accepted the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities that (terrifyingly) are made possible by intimacy," she said.

Paltrow and Falchuk, 46, have been dating for about two years. Falchuk was the co-creator with Ryan Murphy in 2009 of the popular TV series "Glee." The two also worked together on the TV series "American Horror Story" and "Scream Queens."

Paltrow won a best actress Oscar in 1999 for "Shakespeare in Love," but is now better known as the creator of Goop, a lifestyle website and product store that promotes healthy eating and stress-free living.

She and Martin finalized their divorce in 2016 after 13 years of marriage. They have two children. - Reuters
