Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Even though a lot of time has passed, sometimes we wish that we could just go back to the early 2000s, open a tabloid magazine, and read all about the potential fight or the star-studded wedding that happened earlier that week. Sure, the internet is great, but back then, everything was more exciting… Even the breakups.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin first met backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002 and were married a year later. They had two children together, one child with the famous name “Apple,” but in 2014, the couple decided to “consciously uncouple.” In fact, they were the first ever to coin the term “conscious uncoupling.”
