The 'Two Lovers' star - who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - revealed she has turned to the hip-hop music mogul for marital guidance.
Gwyneth - who has an agreement with Chris that they won't publicly speak about their relationship - said: "Jay-Z, who I love, once said, 'You know, a relationship is hard enough without telling 80,000 people about it.' I thought that was good marriage advice."
Speaking about her marriage to 32-year-old Chris - with whom she raises two children, Apple, four, and two-year-old Moses - the blonde beauty admits they work hard to avoid living in the spotlight.
She explained: "When it comes to our private lives, we're private - him even more so than me. A relationship is a complicated thing, and to invite the whole world into it on purpose seems crazy. People are going to talk about it and gossip about it and speculate about it."
Despite her Hollywood achievements, the 36-year-old actress says having children was the best thing she has ever done.
She added: "To be honest, the most euphoria I've ever experienced was having my babies - and that's something most women can and will experience during their lives. I think God did a good job with that one!"
