Actress Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly is converting to Judaism.

The New York Post reported that Paltrow, the daughter of a Jewish father, was converting, citing “sources.”

Paltrow has been following the Kabbalah movement for several years and is friends with Michael Berg, co-director of the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles, according to the Post.

Paltrow’s representative did not respond to questions from the newspaper.

Her father is the late film producer Bruce Paltrow and she reportedly is descended from a long line of Eastern European rabbis.

Paltrow told an event in London hosted by the Jewish community’s Community Security Trust that she wants to raise her children, Apple, 10, and Moses, 8, in a “Jewish environment.”

She and her musician husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, were divorced earlier this year.
