The 53-year-old actor married Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in a secret ceremony in 2003 following a brief romance.<\/p>\n
Paltrow received backlash in 2014 for calling their recent separation a \u201cconscious uncoupling\u201d in an announcement on goop, her health and wellness website.<\/p>\n
She admitted in a 2022 essay for British Vogue that the divorce euphemism sounded \u201ca bit full of itself\u201d and \u201cpainfully progressive\u201d, but said she was proud she could \u201cmake some divorces a little bit easier, happier\u201d, according to People.<\/p>\n
\u201cSay you had had a really nasty divorce, or your parents had had a really nasty divorce, and then you hear this idea that like, it doesn\u2019t have to be done this way,\u201d Paltrow explained to podcast host Amy Poehler.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the implicit learning is like, \u2018Oh, f***, they\u2019re saying I did something wrong. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh no, is the inference that I messed someone up? Like, that\u2019s not a nice thing to contemplate. So I do understand why it was so personal for people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Saturday Night Live comedian Poehler told the star she was \u201cahead of your time, you really were\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich is good and bad,\u201d Paltrow replied. <\/p>\n
\u201cI do understand why it was so personal for people cause it was, you only see that reaction when it\u2019s personal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former couple share two children, daughter Apple, aged 21, and son Moses, 19, and remain good friends, the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n
Paltrow is now married to Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk, while Martin reportedly split from actor Dakota Johnson last June after an eight-year relationship.<\/p>\n
