She told her guest Zoe Saldana, who also attended the wedding, “I officiated my first wedding.

Gwyneth Paltrow details Chris Martin divorce in an essay

The ‘Shallow Hal’ star had opened up about her divorce in an essay for British Vogue.

She noted, “It's very different for every couple but, for me, it meant, more than anything, being accountable for my own part in the dissolution of the relationship. There existed aspects of myself I was trying to heal through this relationship that I wasn’t honest with myself about. I had been blind, guarded, invulnerable, intolerant. I had to admit that and be brave enough to share it.”

Paltrow also added that she “came to understand that forgiveness involves taking responsibility for your half of the relationship. You cannot begin to forgive until you have felt what it is like to be in your partner’s shoes, coping with the hardest parts of you, your trauma, your dysfunction. There are, of course, exceptions, but in most cases, a relationship is 50/50.”
