Gwyneth Paltrow’s stepson has left the nest.
The Goop founder and her husband, Brad Falchuk, were photographed dropping Brody off at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., on Monday.
Paltrow, 51, cut a casual figure in an oversize white top, gray pants and laced-up boots while unloading the incoming freshman’s cardboard boxes from a car.
Falchulk, for his part, paired a long-sleeve shirt with green cargo pants.
The TV producer, 53, co-parents the teenager with his ex-wife, Suzanne Bukinik, as well as their 19-year-old daughter, Isabella.
As for Paltrow, she welcomed daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 18, with Chris Martin before the duo’s 2014 divorce.
The Oscar winner began dating Falchuk later that same year.
The couple confirmed their engagement in January 2018 and walked down the aisle in the Hamptons that September.
Blending their families was “hard” and “not intuitive,” Paltrow has confessed in multiple interviews.
“Nobody tells you how to do it. You just stick with it,” she told People in November 2023. “Now, it’s one of the things that brings me the most happiness in my life.”
At the time, the actress’s eldest child had already left home to reportedly attend Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
Her son, notably, will start at Brown University in Providence, RI, this year after graduating from high school in May.
Paltrow spoke to the outlet last year about her future empty nest, calling herself and Falchuk soon-to-be “free birds.”
The “Shakespeare in Love” star noted, “I’m trying to reframe it so that I can at least try to convince myself there’s some kind of a silver lining. Empty nest sounds so sad and lonely.
“I believe that life, especially for women, comes in chapters,” she continued at the time. “This is really going to be a new chapter for me.”
