The 46-year-old Avengers: Endgame star’s role in the reconciliation doesn’t come as a surprise, either. After the mom of Apple, 15, and Moses, 13, was spotted bonding with Johnson at a party in April, a source told Us that “Gwyneth is happy if Chris is happy,” also noting that “she only wants the best for him.”

The English rocker, 42, and Fifty Shades of Grey alum, 29, first started dating in December 2017. Prior to the reported breakup, multiple sources revealed to Us that the pair were rock solid.
