Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly planning to convert to Judaism to follow in the footsteps of her late father Bruce Paltrow.

Gwyneth, whose late father was Jewish, is said to have decided to convert following her "conscious uncoupling" from husband Chris Martin, reprots femalefirst.co.uk.

The 41-year-old, who has daughter Apple, 10, and eight-year-old son Moses with Martin, will reportedly quietly convert after years of following Kabbalah, which originated in Judaism, and being friends with Michael Berg, co-director of the Kabbalah Centre.

Gwyneth, whose mother Blythe Danner is a Christian, previously confessed that she was raised both as a Jewish and Christian, said it "was such a nice way to grow up".
