The former couple, who wed in 2003, issued their separation announcement on the Goop website 10 years after tying the knot, introducing us to the term ‘consciously uncoupling’.

“It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate,” the couple wrote in their statement. “We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.”

The statement concluded: “We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time.” 

Martin and Paltrow share two children – Apple, 14, and Moses, 12.

“It doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship with somebody,” the 46-year-old said of the break up in a recent interview with ES magazine. “I think Chris and I were meant to be together and have our kids. But our relationship is much better like this: friends and co-parents and family.”
