  • Brad Falchuk is the writer and producer behind some of the last 2 decades’ biggest hits, from Nip/Tuck and Glee to American Horror Story and Pose – but he grew up struggling with dyslexia
  • Paltrow began dating Falchuk after splitting from Coldplay singer Chris Martin; then they tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony attended by Robert Downey Jr, Steven Spielberg and Cameron Diaz

Who can forget when Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced that they were “consciously uncoupling” after 11 years?

Still, that was then, and this is now. And Paltrow has been in a relationship with TV producer Brad Falchuk for nine years, and married to him for five. So what do we know about the blue-eyed 52-year-old that Gwyneth says is just like her famous dad, Bruce Paltrow?

Brad Falchuk created TV shows like Glee and American Horror Story

Falchuk began his writing career on the drama Nip/Tuck in 2003 alongside “super-producer” Ryan Murphy, who made him co-executive producer on the show, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

It wasn’t long before the two decided to work on something new – Glee. The high school musical drama about a group of misfits that dreamed of stardom was a huge, zeitgeisty hit, and made its principal actors including Lea Michelle and Kevin McHale world famous.

Falchuk then went on to create American Crime Story, American Horror Story and Pose, among others, and his shows have been nominated for dozens of Emmys and Golden Globes.
