Their conscious uncoupling has now become a plain old divorce – Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have legally split, according to reports.
Actress Gwyneth and Coldplay frontman Chris first announced that they were separating in March last year, labelling it a “conscious uncoupling”, but stayed close friends and had not actually divorced.
However, according to The Sun, they have apparently been thrashing out the details of their break up over the past weeks and Iron Man star Gwyneth is filing to make it official in the US courts.
The Daily Mirror has reported that papers were due to be finalised yesterday and that the pair were planning on splitting their £120 million fortune and custody of their children Apple, 10, and Moses, eight, equally.
There had been rumours that the pair could reunite after they were spotted on holiday as a family and spending Valentine’s Day together, but making the split official puts an end to the speculation that they were recoupling.
Both have also started new relationships – Gwyneth has been getting close to Brad Falchuk, the producer of TV series Glee which she has made guest appearances in, while Chris has been having an on/off relationship with Jennifer Lawrence.
Apparently, the former couple have been trying hard to approach the divorce amicably, meaning that their family holidays could continue even after the papers are signed.
