(JTA) — Actress Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly is converting to Judaism.<\/p>\n

The New York Post reported that Paltrow, the daughter of a Jewish father, was converting, citing “sources.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Paltrow’s representative did not respond to questions from the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Her father is the late film producer Bruce Paltrow and she reportedly is descended from a long line of Eastern European rabbis.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

She and her musician husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, were divorced earlier this year.<\/p>\n
