Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin
Back in 2014, Gwyneth Paltrow famously explained that she was “consciously uncoupling” from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin after 10 years of marriage. Since then, the former pair — who share Apple and Moses — have been the gold standard for coparenting. “He’s really like my brother. We’re very familiar. It’s nice,” the GOOP founder gushed during a January 2018 episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “I think we genuinely wanted our kids to be as unscathed as possible. And we thought, if we could really maintain the family even though we weren’t a couple, that was kind of the goal. So that’s what we’ve tried to do.”
Paltrow elaborated on this in January 2020, telling Harper’s Bazaar: “It’s not like there’s a finish line: ‘Oh, we consciously uncoupled; we’re done.’ It’s a lifelong commitment to constantly reinvent your relationship with your ex, which you do presumably because you have children together. … We put all the hard work in at the beginning. I would say very rarely is it difficult now. We’ve learned how to communicate with each other. We love each other. We laugh. We have the best of each other. It’s really nice. It makes you feel like you don’t have to lose.”
