Goop CEO quits after Paltrow’s ‘uncoupling’

After Gwyneth Paltrow’s “conscious uncoupling” with Chris Martin, she now faces another painful split: Seb Bishop, the highly ­regarded CEO of Goop, has quit.

Page Six has exclusively confirmed that Bishop, a leading British entrepreneur who was international CEO of AIDS-fighting charity (RED) before joining Goop in 2011, has quit Paltrow’s lifestyle blog, on which she announced her separation from Martin last month.

We’re told that Bishop resigned after Paltrow — in a move to sever her ties to London, where Martin lives — announced to Goop staff she was moving the office from the British capital to Los Angeles.

Our source said: “Seb was ready to move his wife, Heidi, and their children from London, and had even been looking at properties in Los Angeles, but then he abruptly quit.” The source added, “There is speculation that he and Paltrow disagreed on the direction of Goop, partly that she used the Web site as a vehicle for her personal life, and the ‘conscious uncoupling’ announcement.”

Paltrow rep Stephen Huvane confirmed Bishop is leaving Goop, but denied he abruptly quit in a disagreement with Paltrow.

He told us, “It’s not completely true. Seb is still with Goop, but has decided not to relocate his family to Los Angeles. He will be transitioning out over time until a replacement is named.”

Either way, the “corporate uncoupling” is a huge blow to Paltrow. Multimillionaire Bishop, 40, was a top ad agency art director who made his mark at the age of 26 when he founded Espotting, which brought the paid-search online advertising model to Europe. In 2008, he became CEO of (RED), the organization created by Bono and Bobby Shriver to raise money to fight HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, and is also an investor in mobile news app Summly.

Bishop and Paltrow were photographed together at Goop’s summer party in Mayfair, London, last May. He could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.
