Gwyneth Paltrow has spoken about officiating the wedding of Rob Lowe's son Matthew, calling the experience so incredible and joking that people can now call her a pastor. She shared details of the ceremony during a candid conversation on her platform, reflecting on the deep-rooted personal connections that led to her taking on the unique role for the young couple.

I officiated my first wedding, she told guest Zoe Saldaña on an episode of her new podcast, The Goop Guide with Gwyneth Paltrow, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the star-studded matrimonial event. She said it was so incredible to see their little faces as the couple made their commitment to each other, and humorously signed off by telling her audience and fans: Just call me Pastor Gwen.

The pair got officially engaged in July 2025, setting the stage for a grand celebration that brought together numerous high-profile celebrities from the global entertainment industry. Saldaña was among the prominent guests in attendance, alongside her husband, Marco Perego-Saldaña, adding to the glamorous atmosphere of the star-filled wedding venue.

Others on the star-studded guest list included global music and film icons such as Katy Perry, Chris Pratt, Cameron Diaz, Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo and Maria Shriver. Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, Christina, Christopher and Patrick Schwarzenegger, along with fashion figure Abby Champion, were also present to witness the joyous union.

The special role reflected a friendship that goes back decades, highlighting the strong bond between Paltrow and the veteran actor's family over many years. Paltrow has long been close to Rob Lowe, and she famously first met his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, when she was just a teenager navigating her early years.

Berkoff was doing make-up for Paltrow's mother, the acclaimed actress Blythe Danner, at the time, forging a professional relationship that blossomed into lifelong friendship. Paltrow's comments came as she launched the weekly video podcast, a reimagined and expanded version of the popular Goop podcast she originally started in 2018.
