Gwyneth Paltrow is definitely not known for doing things in a conventional way and saying relatable stuff. She can sound off-beat and raise many brows with her statements. A few years ago, the actress stirred a buzz online when she announced her separation from her ex-husband Chris Martin in the most unusual way. She talked about ‘uncoupling’ and her ‘sibling-like’ relationship with him, which obviously, confused her fans. For more details, scroll on.

The actress tied the knot with Chris in 2003. They announced the split in 2016 in the Goop newsletter and later shared the nuances of their lives post-separation. The former couple shares two kids together – Apple (19) and Moses (17), and they co-parent them.

The couple used Goop’s website to formally announce their split and wrote, “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.” In an interview with Glamour, Gwyneth Paltrow revealed what it meant to ‘consciously uncouple’ with Chris Martin. She said, “The ideal is to stay married. But if you can’t stay married, wouldn’t the ideal be that you could still be a family and you could put aside your own stuff long enough to explore — what is this new family, and who am I in it?”
