Apple TV+'s new series "WeCrashed" is based on the true story of the rise and fall of Adam and Rebekah Neumann and their company, WeWork. But during the show, it's quickly mentioned that Rebekah is cousins with none other than Gwyneth Paltrow. The topic of Rebekah's more famous cousin frequently comes up for Rebekah (portrayed by Anne Hathaway), though Gwyneth herself is never actually shown on camera. The show leaves it unclear just how close the pair are in real life, so let's unpack what we do know about their actual relationship.

Rebekah was born Rebekah Paltrow in February 1978, making her six years younger than Gwyneth. Rebekah's dad, Bob Paltrow, was the brother of Gwyneth's dad, Bruce Paltrow, who worked as a film and television producer and director. Rebekah grew up on the East Coast, while Gwyneth's family was mostly California-based, but they were still involved in each other's lives.
