Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow announced their separation almost ten years ago, but according to an insider, their relationship has never been better. "Chris could not be more thankful that he and Gwyneth have successfully managed their co-parenting relationship," the source says. The former couple co-parent their 19-year-old daughter, Apple, and 17-year-old son, Moses.
Coldplay's 46-year-old frontman is grateful that he and 51-year-old Paltrow have prioritized their children after their split, despite things not working out between them, according to a source. Even though Martin and Paltrow separated in 2014, the musician still feels a strong connection to Gwyneth and will always consider her family.
Martin’s girlfriend, Dakota Johnson, has grown close to Gwyneth, forming a strong bond stemming from the former couple's dynamic. A source states, “[Chris] loves that Dakota and Gwyneth have grown close over the years and their friendship is a really beautiful thing to see.”
Martin and Paltrow were married in December 2003 but announced their conscious uncoupling in March 2014 after a decade together. The divorce was filed the following year by the Iron Man actress and finalized in July 2016.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have both moved on in their love lives. Paltrow is now married to Brad Falchuk, while Martin has been dating Dakota Johnson since 2017.
Even though they have ended their romantic relationship, Paltrow and Martin have remained close for the sake of their children and have made a conscious effort to include their new partners in their lives.
"It takes effort and putting aside feelings at times," a source told Us exclusively in October 2019 about the adults' "very friendly" relationships. "They truly enjoy each other's company and there is a lot of love between them all. Gwyneth loves Dakota, and vice versa. She really respects her and appreciates her as a person."

The actress from Shakespeare in Love confirmed her feelings for Johnson in October. Paltrow shared with her Instagram followers during a Q&A that “we’re actually very good friends.” She went on to say, “I love her so much,” expressing her admiration for Johnson as “an adorable, wonderful person.” The positive relationships extend beyond the women, as Martin and Falchuk, 52, also have a good rapport. “Brad and Chris have a lot of respect for each other and they always get their creative juices flowing when they hang out,” a separate insider shared with Us in October 2019. “They get something from being together — they’re both very cool guys.”
