Gwyneth Paltrow seemingly has a perfect life. She is a global star thanks to starring as Pepper Potts in the MCU, won an Oscar for Best Actress for her role inShakespeare In Love,and owns a company called Goop. However, once upon a time, her ideal life came to a halt when she decided to divorce her husband, Chris Martin. The two met in 2002 during a Coldplay concert and married in 2003.

In 2004 their daughter Apple was born, followed by their son Moses in 2006. However, come 2014, the two decided to part ways because, as per Paltrow, they “never fully settled into being a couple.” However, Martin and Paltrow never grew bitter and instead remained close friends. However, it’s definitely a bit eyebrow-raising that she later referred to her ex-husband as her brother.
