Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin consciously uncoupled for their kids.
The Oscar winner revealed that she and the Coldplay frontman made a very specific decision to keep their focus on kids Apple, 22, and Moses, 20, as they announced their separation in 2014, which lead to their now infamous declaration of “conscious uncoupling” after 10 years of marriage.
“We really sat down and thought, ‘Is there a way that we could do this?’ Paltrow shared on a recent episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast. “Because—this is very me—but when I was getting divorced, I was like, ‘How do I do this?’”
The question led the 53-year-old to her friends who grew up with divorced parents, as she asked what the most difficult part was for them.
“I said, ‘Tell me what was the worst thing. What do you feel you have scars from to this day?’” she explained. “And they said, ‘You know, it wasn’t really so much the divorce, ‘cause you’re a kid, and yes, of course, the idea of it is terrible, but you sort of get used to that quickly.’”
