Gwyneth Paltrow reveals Chris Martin is there for her 'through anything'

Speaking about Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow said, “It’s not quite brother, but we are complete family. He is there for me through anything, and vice versa.”

The former couple, who tied the knot in 2003, shocked fans in March 2014 when they announced their separation in a blog post on Paltrow’s lifestyle website, Goop.

The post, titled 'Conscious Uncoupling', introduced the world to a term that would later become synonymous with amicable breakups.

While their divorce was finalized in 2015, their relationship has remained one of mutual respect and co-parenting for their two children, daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 18.

Gwyneth Paltrow on navigating parenthood and evolution of their blended family

Since their separation, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have moved on to new relationships and have expanded their family dynamics.

Paltrow married television producer Brad Falchuk in 2018, becoming stepmother to his two children, Isabella, 20, and Brody, 19, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Suzanne Bukinik.

Martin, on the other hand, has been in a long-term relationship with actress Dakota Johnson.

Despite their past, Paltrow and Martin’s commitment to family extends beyond their immediate children.

Paltrow shared an example of their blended family’s closeness, revealing that when devastating wildfires struck Los Angeles in January, Bukinik temporarily moved in with Paltrow, Falchuk, and Isabella in Montecito, California.

"It’s quite beautiful," Paltrow said of their evolving family relationships.

"It feels much better when everybody can be together and people can let go of the more difficult, painful parts of what led to a divorce and focus on the things that led to the marriage in the first place. Once you fully let go of ‘We used to sleep in the same bed’ vibes, a world of possibility opens up,” she added.

"We were in a really bad spot. I was like, ‘F**k this. I cannot do this,’" she admitted, describing the overwhelming emotions of that time," according to People.

However, Martin reassured her at that moment, saying, "I love you. We can do this."
