Things are finally officially coming to a close for Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.
The former Mr and Mrs, who filed for divorce more than a year ago on April 2015 have reached a settlement in their divorce case.
Reports say a court document has just been filed by Gwyneth that included a written agreement from the pair regarding their assets, child support and ongoing financial obligations.
In the document, the pair have mutually agreed to never seek spousal support from one another, according to People magazine.
Since both have multi-million dollar careers, Chris with Coldplay and Gwyneth with her acting and Goop entrepreneurial business, this was thought to be a fair and equitable outcome for all parties.
The pair recently reunited to celebrate their daughter Apple’s birthday.
Gwyneth took the kids to Argentina and Peru to follow Chris’s band Coldplay on tour.
The pair frequently holiday together with their children as a family, uniting for special events or just much needed family bonding time.
Moreover, they’ve both spent lots of time praising each other’s parenting style and reaffirmed that they are still family post-divorce.

Just recently, Gwyneth posted an adorable selfie of she and Chris taking Apple and Moses to Disneyland for Apple’s birthday.
This followed the Goop founder and the kids accompanying the pop star on the Argentinean leg of Coldplay’s tour earlier this year.
The supportive trio of Gwyneth, Apple and Moses and were spotted dancing in the front row together.
As reports roll in from all over the US about the details of Amber Heard’s divorce from megastar Johnny Depp, it’s been revealed that there may have been numerous hurdles to the couples’ romance.
One of the biggest allegations is that Johnny’s family were not Amber’s biggest fans… at all.
The relationship between his siblings, children, his mother and Amber was reportedly extremely bitter, and the group were in the middle of an explosive feud in the months before the shock split, according to TMZ.
The Alice Through The Looking Glass actor and his wife moved into his mother’s compound earlier this year, and that’s apparently when the fireworks started.
Things are reportedly already getting nasty between the pair.
Johnny’s mum Betty Sue, who passed away earlier this week, reportedly told friends she thought Amber was after her son’s fame and money, and was using the marriage as a career boost, sources told TMZ.
The outlet also reported that the Danish Girl actress had to have TWO sit down meetings with Betty Sue, in which the matriarch called her a “terrible person”.
The couple were once the picture of a loving husband and wife.
But since the report, more sources have come to the 30-year-old actress’s defense, stating Amber visited Johnny’s ailing mother in the weeks leading up to her death, and also managed her nurse’s schedules.
The sources told TMZ that these were not the actions of someone whose relationship with the family had broken down.

It’s also since emerged that the blonde beauty had cold feet on marrying her actor husband before the wedding.
Multiple sources close to the couple reveal she was having doubts…as early as the couple’s engagement party!
Amber was reportedly having second thoughts even at her engagement party.
“Before Amber met Johnny, she was just a regular, super-cool hipster chick living with roommates who dated girls,” an insider revealed to People magazine.
“At their engagement party she kind of got cold feel… she was just like ‘What is this, and what am I doing here? She kind of couldn’t believe this was her life now.”
The news comes off the back of the reports that this will already be an acrimonious divorce, with the Pirates of the Caribbean star seeking to deny Amber any spousal support.
It’s reported that Johnny told the judge the pair did not have a prenup in place.
A teenager has reportedly given birth to the world’s heaviest baby girl.
The child was born via caesarean section in southern India and weighed a whopping 6.8kgs at birth, reports local media.
Her 19-year-old mother Nandini, who is slight and just 5ft 9’, was totally unaware that her baby would be big.
Doctor Venkatesh Raju told local media: “I believe she is not only the heaviest baby born in India, but the heaviest baby girl ever born in the world.”
Physicians overseeing the birth said that the child had no obvious health issues, and that the baby showed no high sugar levels common with infant obesity.
“She does not have any health issues like irregular sugar levels or thyroid, and is breathing well,” said gynecologist Poornima Manu, who delivered the bub.
American baby Carisa Rusack was the previous baby girl to hold the title after being born at 6.49kg in 2014.
But both girls fall well shy of the world’s heaviest baby boy. The claim goes to Carmelina Fedele’s son who weighed 10.2kg at birth in 1955 – that child still holds the Guinness record today.
A Hobart man who jammed a possum’s tail in a window, shaved it, then rubbed heat cream on its bare skin has escaped a possible jail sentence.
A judge ordered Craig Simon Taylor, from North Hobart, to do 70 hours of community service for the Animal Welfare offence.
Mr Taylor’s lawyer told the court that the defendant found the possum defecating in his bathroom but Magistrate Michael Daly said his attack was “completely unnecessary and quite serious,” and that he “doesn’t see any justifiable reason to do it at all,” reports the ABC.
It was reportedly Mr Taylor’s first animal welfare offence but he was given a one-month suspended jail term for driving under the influence of drugs and was banned from driving for six months.
Possums living in suburbia can become quite trusting of humans so they can fall victim to cruelty.
Earlier this year the RSPCA made an appeal to the public to find the people behind a horrific attack on a live possum after a video surfaced of a driver repeatedly running over the trapped animal in a large vehicle.
Two 17-year-olds from Greenslopes and Tarragindi in Queensland were charged with animal cruelty.
Jen released a statement to People magazine on Thursday confirming that her mum had passed away from illness.
“It is with great sadness that my brother John and I announce the passing of our mother Nancy Dow,” said Aniston. “She was 79 years old and passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends after enduring a long illness.”
“We ask that our family’s privacy be respected as we grieve our loss.”
Dow reportedly had been in poor health since 2011 when she suffered a stroke, followed by a second stroke a year later.
The mother-of-two was married to actor John Aniston from 1965-1980 but the pair divorced when Jen was nine.
Prior to that, Dow was married to Jack Melick from 1956 -1961 and she had starred in The Beverly Hillbillies in 1966 and The Wild Wild West in 1967.
In 1999, at the height of Jen’s fame, Nancy betrayed Jenifer by publishing an explosive memoir called From Mother And Daughter to Friends.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year, Jennifer, 47, hinted at her strained relationship with her mother.
“She was critical. She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was,” the Friends star said.
“I honestly still don’t think of myself in that sort of light, which is fine. She was also very unforgiving. She would hold grudges that I just found so petty.”
Despite the pair reportedly trying to patch things up over the years, Nancy was not invited to her daughter’s lavish wedding to Justin Theroux last year.
If you were looking for a reason to get some cauliflower in your belly (besides the fact that it’s delicious) scientists have just discovered a very important truth about the gem’s fluffy florets.
Published in the European Journal of Cancer, a 2015 study found a substantial yet somewhat surprising link between the health properties found within white fruits and vegetables and a lower risk of stomach cancer.
Researchers analysed over 32,000 cases of gastric cancer patients, paying close attention to their diets.
While they found that those who consumed a diet high in sodium and alcohol were particularly at risk, they also discovered that foods rich in vitamin C tended to have a “protective effect” against gastric cancers.
And since one serving of cauliflower makes up 77% of your recommended daily intake, consuming this vegetable has never been so important.
In case you need some more convincing, cauliflower also contains admirable levels of sulforaphane, a sulfur compound that has also been shown to kill cancer stem cells by slowing the growth rate of tumours.
The anti-oxidants within the florets also help to prevent cellular mutations, thus reducing the risk of breast and reproductive cancers in both men and women.
And to top it all off, the fatty acids present in the white gems help with a good night’s sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory.
Jen maintains her amazing physique with the help of cauliflower.
Whilst we’re only just learning this eye-opening new information, it would seem that some of our most idolised A-listers have been onto the health properties of cauliflower for years.
Jennifer Aniston has long been a fan of the ivory buds, having consumed them as well as eggs for her main source of essential fatty acids.
And back in 2014, Blake Lively revealed her favourite cauliflower recipe on her now-deleted blog as part of a collaboration with Top Chef winner, Hung Huynh.
Blake Lively ate cauliflower during her first pregnancy to help the healthy development of her growing little one.
“The star here is cauliflower. We love cauliflower because it doesn’t really taste like a vegetable. It could almost be a fake potato. Especially when there’s cheese involved,” the then-pregnant star wrote alongside her recipe for roasted cauliflower with pomegranate.
With plenty of calcium for growing bones and antioxidants to fight off disease, it is perhaps assumed that the Gossip Girl star was indeed cauliflower crazy due to the immense health benefits it promotes, particularly in pregnancy.
Unfortunately, skin problems don’t just happen when you’re a pubescent teen.
But when the promise of anti-ageing creams, serums and formulas don’t turn back the clock on your tired skin, there are still some effective methods out there.
Ditch the sugar
It’s hard to dodge that 3pm chocolate craving but cutting out the sugar – or at least only having it in small doses – makes sure that your skin doesn’t lose elasticity.
No elasticity means wrinkles are more encouraged to form, tells Dr Marilyn Glenville to Daily Mail.
Nutritionist Cassandra Barns tells Daily Mail that sugar and refined carbs can raise testosterone with then can cause breakouts.
Good fats
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help your heart, brain and eyesight, but also your skin.
Barns tells Daily Mail that these good fats – found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines – “help maintain the skin’s barrier function and prevent moisture loss.”
“They are also thought to have a role in the dermis – the lower layer of skin – by controlling inflammation and minimising collagen damage from UV rays,” she adds.
Try to eat a serving of oily fish three times a week.
Zinc
Zinc plays a huge part in the body and helps a whole range of things, including skin.
Barns says that zinc is required for normal cell growth and that “A lot of people find zinc useful in the case of acne and other skin conditions.”
Oats, pumpkin seeds, eggs, oysters and peas all contain doses of zinc.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants help your skin by combatting the production of free radicals which are the main cause of damaged skin cells. Damaged skin cells then lead to signs of ageing, with a dull complexion, lines and damaged collagen.
As vitamin C has high levels of antioxidants, it can help fight this off by keeping your skin look youthful.
Protein
Protein is a hugely important part to your diet as it aids tissue repair and creates and replaces new skin.
Barns explains: “On average, a woman needs 1g of protein per kilo body weight per day.”
“This means that a woman weighing 60 kg needs at least 60 g of protein, which is equivalent to two chicken breasts, four eggs or three cups of cooked lentils.”
One person has been killed and three others wounded in a shooting at a NYC concert for rapper T.I.
Police said a 34-year-old man has been shot in the chest, and a 33-year-old man in the stomach. One of the men then died in hospital.
A woman, 26, was shot in the leg and a fourth person admitted themselves into hospital.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., was scheduled to go on stage at Irving Plaza at 9 or 9.30pm but allegedly never turned up.
Elijah Rodriguez was in the VIP area with his sister waiting for the rapper to perform.
According to him, the venue began to play music around 10pm and soon later he saw people coming out from where the performers were coming onstage.
He said: “All the sudden I heard someone saying that there was a shot, that someone got shot.”
“It was scary to deal with. When I got outside, like literally across the street, there were a few girls having, like, panic attacks. One girl thought she saw someone get shot in front of her.”
T.I., known for songs “Whatever You Like” and “No Mediocre” was not allegedly not on stage when the shooting occurred.
Footage from Twitter has emerged of the chaos in the concert venue (see above).
No arrests have been made and representatives of T.I. are referring all questions of the shooting to police.
Chatting candidly with Jules Sebastian, it’s easy to see that the Vicinity Centres stylist, socialite and mother-of-two dons many hats – both literally and metaphorically.
The fashionista recently spoke with Woman’s Day about her ever-changing lifestyle, from mothering her sweet sons, to taking care of mothers in need.
“We’ve shifted our focus this year to concentrate on women’s shelters in Sydney,” the blonde beauty began before describing more about the incredible work of The Sebastian Foundation.
“For me, women are my passion. Being a woman myself and particularly being a mother, I now know how hard it can be even when you have the resources to feed and home your children, but to be a mother and a woman without that chance or opportunity? I can’t even imagine it.”
Cheeky Hudson is the spitting image of his dad!
And it seems that Jules and her amazing team have already made a huge difference by providing the women and their little ones with all the necessities to get back on their feet.
“We were able to collect and gather all the excess stock that would usually go unused from PR agencies,” she tells us.
“From kids and women’s clothes, shoes, work-wear and beauty products, we’ve been able to pass on all those things to really make a huge difference, and it’s the best feeling in the whole world.”
“Women are the backbone of their home, so if you can take care of the women, they can take their of their families. And we’re all about family.”
From taking care of mums, to being one herself, the Vicinity Centres ambassador knows that family is the most important thing.
As her sweet sons Hudson, four, and Archie, two, watch High School Musical in the background while we spoke, she divulged whether or not they would soon be getting a little brother or sister…
“Ah… the million dollar question! No plans at this point,” She said with a laugh. As it happens, the Sydney local and her handsome beau are happy with their little handful.
“I’m finally sleeping through the night again and no one has a dummy anymore, so I think it’s a good contribution to the world to keep it as one each,” she said before admitting that her eldest, who she fondly refers to as “Huddy”, is the mini-version of his singing daddy.
“I think we’ve had one of each. Hudson is Guy and Archie is me – not just in looks but in personality as well. Hudson is the life of the party, just full of energy and Archie is a bit more chilled out and shy.”
A happy snap from the family’s trip to the Maldives.
And as winter finally rolls around, the blogger also kindly let us in on her top fashion necessities for the season.
Instead of rebuilding our closets from the very start, Jules suggests that we all simply add to what we already have by “injecting” these four staples.
“A good, heavy wool coat in a neutral colour is key, and a pair of ankle boots go with everything from jeans and skirts to dresses,” she shares.
“A few good knits for layering – I think you can never have enough, and perhaps a lush scarf or a fashion forward fedora.”

Their relationship was fraught with tension but Jennifer Aniston has released a touching statement, confirming her mother Nancy Dow has died.
“It is with great sadness that my brother John and I announce the passing of our Mother Nancy Dow. She was 79 years old and passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends after enduring a long illness,” the 47-year-old explained to PEOPLE.
“We ask that our family’s privacy be respected as we grieve our loss,” she concluded.
According to various reports, the star’s mother had suffered from several strokes over the years and was unable to walk or talk.
In a devastating turn of events, In Touch Weekly claims the actress had reached out and visited her ill mother for the first time in five years on May 12.
“Jen must have had a wake-up call and wanted to see her mother one last time before she passes,” the source told the publication.
Nancy passed away “peacefully surrounded by family and friends.”
Last year, the Friends stunner told The Hollywood Reporter she had a complex relationship with her mother, who was also an actress.
“She was critical. She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was,” Jen shared.
“I honestly still don’t think of myself in that sort of light, which is fine. She was also very unforgiving. She would hold grudges that I just found so petty.”
In 1999, at the height of Jen’s fame, Nancy destroyed what remained of their relationship when she published an explosive tell-all memoir called From Mother And Daughter to Friends.
Following the actress’ divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005, Jen and Nancy managed to rebuild their bond however in recent years they had seen very little of each other.
Furthermore, Nancy wasn’t invited to her daughter’s marriage to Justin Theroux last year.
