Gwyneth Paltrow Celebrates Ex Chris Martin’s Birthday with Adorable Throwback Pics
Gwyneth Paltrow is serving some heartfelt nostalgia as she celebrates her ex-husband Chris Martin’s 48th birthday. On March 2, the Goop goddess took to Instagram to shower the Coldplay frontman with love, sharing sweet snapshots featuring him with their kids, Apple and Moses. In one sunny pic, the “Yellow” singer affectionately leans against his 20-year-old daughter, while in another, he’s deeply focused at the piano alongside his son, who’s now 18. “Happy Birthday to the man that gave me these beautiful, wonderful human beings. We ???? you, Chris,” Paltrow captioned the post, sending some major good vibes their way.
The duo first crossed paths backstage at a Coldplay show back in 2002 and went on to marry for over a decade. Their breakup in 2014, which they labeled as a “conscious uncoupling,” quickly became the talk of the town and sparked a new M.O. for post-divorce relationships. Since then, Paltrow married writer-producer Brad Falchuk in 2018, while Martin has been in a high-profile relationship with actress Dakota Johnson since 2017. Despite their respective romances, the former couple continues to be a model of co-parenting, consistently praising one another in public forums.
In a 2019 interview, Paltrow emphasized how their relationship has evolved into a strong friendship, stating, “Family structure can be reinvented and divorce doesn’t have to be devastating.” Martin echoed her sentiments in a 2023 Rolling Stone cover story, expressing newfound joy in attending family events, like Apple’s Paris debutante ball, which brought the entire family together, including Paltrow’s mom, Blythe Danner. He jokingly remarked on the unexpected things he now finds himself doing in the name of love for his kids.
This harmonious family dynamic continues to fascinate fans, showcasing that co-parenting can indeed lead to a fulfilling family structure. With both parents embracing their roles while balancing new relationships, Paltrow and Martin prove that love can take many forms.
