Chris Martin finally opens up about his split from Gwyneth Paltrow. According to UsMagazine.com, the Coldplay singer, 37, recently sat down with BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe to talk about his band’s new album, how he feels about One Direction and even about the end of his 11-year marriage. It’s been one month since news first broke about Martin’s separation from Paltrow, 41, but the music artist has now revealed to Lowe in his interview part of the cause of the split falls on him. Martin told Lowe he hasn’t let himself be completely “vulnerable” and open to letting love “in” and because of that it caused problems with his relationship. He continued to say he doesn’t want to blame anyone else and only he can make the proper “changes” to his life.

Unless you’re under a rock, you’ve probably heard that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin recently consciously uncoupled. It’s a bummer–I thought they were the golden couple that would shame all other Hollywood divorcees by going the distance. The truth is that it’s not surprising they split if you look at their astrological compatibility. The REAL reason they split is because Gwyneth, a Libra, and Chris, a Pisces, are completely star-crossed.
Divorce is one of those life events that forces huge changes in your life, whether you like it or not. During a divorce, a decision will need to be made on living arrangements. Let the court decide who needs to move out and what will happen with the home. Sometimes, one spouse will offer to move out but wants their part of the equity in the house. The partner who stays put may have to put it up for sale in order to pay the other partner unless they can refinance, thus adding the amount of equity onto the mortgage.

Another one bites the dust! Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin have decided to part marital ways after 10 years. The couple announced the split earlier this week. According toPeople, Paltrow (PEOPLE’s 2013 Most Beautiful Woman) and Martin stated they were “working hard for well over a year” — both as a couple and individually — “to make their relationship work.”
The pair released the following statement on the GOOP website under the heading “Conscious Uncoupling”: “It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.” The parents of a 9½-year-old daughter Apple and a 7½-year-old son Moses went onto say, “We have come to the conclusion that, while we love each other very much, we will remain separate.”
Although the marriage is ending, co-parenting is not out of the question. “We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways, we are closer than we have ever been. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.”
How do you know when it’s time to go your separate ways?
For today’s column, let’s take a look at three celebrity couples that keep the gossip mills churning — whether it’s because of a potential engagement, a possible new love affair, or never-ending separation rumors.
We’re all envious of the women we see on the front cover of magazines who seem to lose all of their baby weight as soon as they deliver their child. Some of us blame Photoshop because there’s no way these celebrities can drop those pounds so quickly. While other readers credit the rapid weight loss to plastic surgery. This method might be used among some of the famous stars we know, but some of them still enjoy getting their bodies back in the right way:

Making a relationship work is hard. Throw in full-time jobs, opposing schedules and nosey families, and it can be darn near impossible to find the time you need to make it work. Now, add children to the mix, and some might begin to assume you’re attempting to commit partnership suicide. Any woman that has the privilege of being called Mom, or even those who’ve tried their hand at babysitting, knows that after making macaroni necklaces and finishing science projects, there isn’t much time left at the end of the day to dedicate to yourself, let alone your partner. Fortunately, it is possible to fulfill your parental duties and keep your mate happy without completely sacrificing your sanity, shower time or friendships. While it may sound like an urban legend, these celebrity moms have found a way to make juggling kids, love and inner happiness look somewhat easy:

Brooke Shields, Courteney Cox, Bryce Dallas Howard and Amanda Peet are some celebrities who have suffered from postpartum depression and so do as many as one in five women in the United States, but Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t think she would be one of them. The actress found herself experiencing the symptoms of postpartum depression shortly after giving birth to her son Moses in April 2006. It wasn’t until her husband, Chris Martin pointed it out that she realized she actually had it. Paltrow believes that being open about her depression made it easier to cope, “We think that it makes us bad mothers or we didn’t do it right, but it’s like, we’re all in this together.” Between the support she’s had through it and the awareness of it, she claims that her postpartum depression is slowly starting to diminish.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Chris Martin publicly spoke about his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, for the first time. The couple, who’s been married for eight years and has two children, try to keep their marriage out of the public eye and rarely photograph together, according to RadarOnline. The Coldplay frontman admitted that he’s had one serious romance, and he’s in it. When he was told that he made “quite a leap,” Martin replied, “It’s a big leap? What, from being a loser to going out with an Oscar winner? It’s a giant leap. Let’s face it, it’s like winning the lottery.”

Paltrow now confesses that now she feels a little weird about her famous ex-boyfriends, according to Us Weekly. “It was strange to be part of a public couple,” she says in a new E! special, Gwyneth Paltrow.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift’s budding romance may be partially thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow, reports Us Weekly. Paltrow hosted a private dinner party for Swift and Gyllenhaal during their quiet trip to London on November 13th. “Jake and Taylor were driven from the Dorchester hotel to Gwyneth and Chris Martin’s house in Primrose Hill for dinner,” explained an insider. “Gwyneth seems to have played a role in their relationship.” When asked about the dinner party, Paltrow replied playfully, “I’ve just known Jake for a long time and he’s a great guy, and Chris has a friendship with Taylor.” Paltrow’s matchmaking seems to have paid off, for over Thanksgiving Swift and Gyllenhaal had many a coffee date.Who should be your matchmaker?
Recent Glee guest Gwyneth Paltrow is making headlines lately. Even though she’s part of a high-profile celebrity relationship herself, she is speaking out against “unnecessary” celebrity couples. In fact, she went so far as to tell CNN, “It’s just unnecessary to be a public couple, and to have your couple-dom or whatever be its own entity. It doesn’t make sense to have that in the public world.”
Alright, Gwyneth, I see your point. There are definitely famous couples who live for the spotlight, which is pathetic. One obvious example is former Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
