Gwyneth Paltrow has been looking back on her time with her ex-husband Chris Martin, and she stated how she had tried to avoid a divorce for the sake of her kids.
Gwyneth Paltrow: ‘I Never Wanted To Not Be Married To The Father Of My Kids’
In an interview on the Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast, Gwyneth stated how much she wanted to avoid the divorce in order to keep her family together. She said: “I’ve learned so much from something I wanted least in the world. I never wanted to get divorced. I never wanted to not be married to the father of my kids, theoretically.”
Chris had met Gwyneth during the rise of his band, Coldplay. And it was during the course of the band’s tour in LA that they came across each other. Shortly after, they married and welcomed two kids: Apple and Moses. While the break up may have been a shock to some, given that everything appeared fine on the surface, it was not the case for Gwyneth.
In a previous interview with British Vogue, Gwyneth revealed she knew her marriage was done. She said: “I don’t remember which day of the weekend it was or the time of day. But I knew — despite long walks and longer lie-ins, big glasses of Barolo and hands held — my marriage was over.” That did not stop the couple from putting their children first, though.
They are still on good terms, as Chris is often in the US and meets up with Gwyneth. This most recently occurred when Chris, his new girlfriend (Dakota Johnson) and Gwenyth, enjoyed some fun on the beach. The children, for their part, have remained stable despite the split and long distance between the duo.
Following an appearance on the Drew Barrymore Show, Gwyneth revealed how committed she and Chris were to giving their kids the best life. She noted: “Chris and I committed to putting [the kids] first, and that’s harder than it looks because some days you really don’t want to be with the person that you are getting divorced from.”
It was natural for Gwyneth to have some regrets. After all, why would she not? She had just left the love of her life with whom she had several children.
