Johnson and Paltrow have proved they’re good pals in the past, with the Goop founder sharing a sweet photo of the two of them on her Instagram Story in November. In a Q&A, Paltrow allowed her followers to ask her a few questions.
Taking the opportunity, one person wrote, “Photo with Dakota.” Paltrow then shared a snap of her and Johnson holding hands while standing outdoors. The duo were wrapped up warmly as Paltrow wore a beanie hat and hooded coat, while the actress sported a baseball hat and black jacket.

Displaying bright smiles to the camera, the blue-jean-clad friends appeared to be in good spirits.
Paltrow’s snap came after she revealed in October that she and Johnson were “very good friends.”
“We’re actually very good friends,” the Oscar winner said at the time as she took part in another Q&A on her Instagram Story. “I love her so much.”
“She’s an adorable, wonderful person,” Paltrow added of the How to Be Single actress.
“He has this sweet child-like spirit, and I love that he will be like, ‘Let’s go jump in the ocean’ when it’s 58 degrees, or, ‘Let’s go to this weird guitar store,’ ” she . “He always wants to do these fun adventures with them and activities.”

The Shakespeare in Love actress added that Martin “has a real sweetness” about him that extends naturally to his dynamic with their children.
“He brings that to the way that he parents them,” Paltrow said. “He’s sort of gone a lot, he’s on the road a lot, but he brings — it’s almost like he comes and sprinkles fairy dust.”
