Calling him “the man that gave me these beautiful, wonderful human beings”, Gwyneth Paltrow has paid tribute to her former husband Chris Martin, on his 48th birthday.
Gwyneth Paltrow has paid tribute to her former husband Chris Martin, on his 48th birthday – calling him “the man that gave me these beautiful, wonderful human beings”.
The actress and Goop founder, 52, shared a message on Instagram on Sunday to mark the Coldplay frontman’s birthday, posting two photos of him with their children, Apple, 20, and Moses, 18.
In the first image, Chris is seen sitting beside Apple, leaning his head on hers as she poses with her head resting in her hand.
The second picture shows him playing the piano with Moses, both focused on the keys in front of them. Paltrow captioned the post: “We (green heart emoji)you, Chris.”
Gwyneth and Chris met in 2002 backstage at a Coldplay concert and married the following year.
They were together for over a decade before announcing their split in 2014, describing it as a “conscious uncoupling”. Since their divorce, they have remained close friends and co-parents.
Speaking about their relationship in 2019, Gwyneth said: “Family structure can be reinvented, and divorce doesn’t have to be devastating. It doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship with somebody.”
She told the Evening Standard: “We were meant to be together and have our kids, but our relationship is much better like this: friends and co-parents and family.”
Chris has been in a relationship with actor Dakota Johnson since 2017, while Gwyneth married writer-producer Brad Falchuk in 2018.
The musician recently spoke about his daughter’s participation in Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, an event attended by Paltrow, Moses, and Paltrow’s mother, Blythe Danner.
In an interview with Rolling Stone in December, Chris said: “It’s so not something I ever thought I’d do, but because I’m so in love with her, I’m like, ‘Okay.’”
The Coldplay singer also joked about his relationship with his son, telling the magazine: “My favorite new thing to embarrass my son is, if we’re walking down the street and someone comes up to us and they say, ‘I’m sorry to disturb you while you’re with your son,’ I say, ‘That’s not my son. That’s my partner.’”
Chris added: “Yeah. I like them a lot. I think they are mine, to be fair.”
