Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin exemplify the epitome of amicable exes, and their positive energy extends to their current partners.

In an Instagram Story Q&A on Thursday, October 5, the 51-year-old actress was questioned about her relationship with Martin's longtime girlfriend, Dakota Johnson. Paltrow enthusiastically expressed, "We're actually close friends. I have a deep affection for her," describing Johnson, 34, as "lovely and remarkable."

Paltrow and Martin, aged 46, got married in 2003 and had a daughter named Apple in the following year. They were blessed with a son named Moses in 2006. Despite being together for ten years, Paltrow and the lead singer of Coldplay announced their separation in 2014, which they referred to as a "conscious uncoupling." However, they made a commitment to maintain a cordial relationship despite the split.

“There was no dramatic event,” she stated in an interview for the February 2015 edition of Marie Claire. “We have put in a tremendous amount of effort to reach this stage. However, we are incredibly near and the bond between us is so wonderful. It feels like the connection we were destined to have.”

Gwyneth Paltrow shared a photo on Instagram, crediting herself as the source. She took legal action to initiate divorce proceedings two months after their separation in 2013. The divorce was ultimately completed and officially declared in 2016.

Martin and Johnson began a romantic relationship the year after Paltrow married Brad Falchuk in 2018. According to an exclusive source, the two couples share a very friendly dynamic and have put in effort to maintain their connection despite occasional challenges. There is genuine enjoyment of each other's company and a strong affection from all parties involved. Specifically, Paltrow has a deep admiration for Dakota and appreciates her as a person.

Paltrow's affection for her ex-husband is profound, and he has formed a strong connection with Falchuk as well, who is 52 years old. According to an inside source, "Brad and Chris hold each other in high regard and their creative energy flows effortlessly whenever they spend time together." The source added, "There is something special that they derive from their companionship - both of them exuding a remarkable coolness."

At the 3rd annual Sean Penn & Friends HELP HAITI HOME Gala, held in Beverly Hills, California on January 11, 2014, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were in attendance. Despite Martin and Johnson maintaining a discreet relationship, Paltrow has openly expressed her admiration for the couple.
