In a new interview, the Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow gushed about how great her relationship with her ex-husband Chris Martin, who is the frontman for the band Coldplay.
While appearing on the TODAY show, Paltrow said that she and Martin spend tons of time together with their two children, daughter Apple, 17, and son, Moses, 15.
“I mean, it’s funny. He was over here yesterday. And [Apple] came through and she’s like, you know, she’s taller than me now. We just looked at each other. We were like, ‘How did this go by so quickly?’” she said, referring to raising their children.
Paltrow and Martin got married in 2003 but split in 2016 with their famous “consciously uncoupling” explanation. These days, Paltrow said that she thinks of her ex more like a sibling.
“He’s like my brother. You know, he’s my family,” she explained. “I love him. And I’m so grateful to him for giving me these kids. It worked out well… You know, it really did, I have to say.”
Both Paltrow and Martin have moved on, with her marrying TV producer Brad Falchuk in 2018 and him dating actress Dakota Johnson since 2019.
“She’s a fantastic woman,” Paltrow told The Sunday Times in 2019, referring to Johnson.
Paltrow reflected on her divorce earlier this year during an appearance on the “Anna Faris is Unqualified” podcast.
“I never wanted to get divorced,” Paltrow confessed. “I never wanted to not be married to the father of my kids, theoretically. But I have learned more about myself through that process than I could have imagined.”
“And because I focused on accountability, I was then able to find the most amazing man and build something that I’ve never had before with Brad [Falchuk], my husband,” she continued.
Paltrow went on to gush about Falchuk’s “amazing qualities” as well.
“It was like being with some kind of jiu-jitsu master where they’re like, ‘I’m going to make you see your own stuff so you can win and advance,'” she said.
Divorce is certainly not easy, and plenty of couples struggle with it. Good for Paltrow and Martin for showing the world that divorces can actually be handled in a way that works out for everyone involved!
