Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have announced they are separating.
The 41-year-old actress and the 37-year-old Coldplay frontman have called time on their marriage after being together for more than 10 years.
Gwyneth announced the news in a post on her website, which crashed immediately, titled “Conscious Uncoupling”.
“It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate,” she wrote.
“We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.”
The pair, who are parents to Apple, 9, and seven-year-old Moses, say they will remain close for the sake of their children.
“We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been,” the post continued.
“We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.”
Gwyneth signed off the post by sharing a photo of the couple in happier times and signed it, “Love, Gwyneth & Chris”.
