Does Gwyneth Paltrow Regret ‘Consciously Uncoupling’ Chris Martin?
Gwyneth Paltrow famously created the term “consciously uncoupling” earlier this year when she announced her divorce from Chris Martin.
Since then it is believed that, while keeping in contact for the sake of the kids, Paltrow and Martin have moved on with their lives, and there have been rumors in the media that both of them have been dating other people.
On the other hand, according to a recent interview Gwyneth Paltrow gave to Harper’s Bazaar, she and Chris are still close — like, really close.
As Paltrow revealed to the publication, “It’s painful, it’s difficult, it might be easier to say, ‘I never want to see you again,’ but what good does that do anyone? We’ve made a lot of mistakes, and we’ve had good days and bad days, but I have to say, I’m proud of us for working through so much stuff together — and not blaming and shaming.”
In saying that, Gwyneth kind of dropped the bomb, albeit “consciously unconsciously,” when she mentioned that there are times she wished she’d stayed married to Chris Martin.
“Of course, there are times when I think it would have been better if we had stayed married, which is always what your children want. But we have been able to solidify this friendship, so that we’re really close.”
Some people have even asked, tongue in cheek, why Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin even bothered getting divorced back in March, as they are L.A. neighbors and have been photographed dining out together and have stayed with tradition by celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas with their daughter Apple, 10, and son Moses, 8, this year.
Paltrow revealed the following in the interview about the family house.
“There’s a deep comfort about it because it’s so familiar. The other day I was lying on the grass and the kids were playing and I was looking at the blue sky and the palm-trees — and there was something about the weather and the smell and I was, like, eight years old again. I had such a strong memory of being a kid here — it’s a really nice place to be a little kid, and it’s great to watch my children have that experience.”
According to Gwyneth, one of the reasons for the divorce was the fact that the relationship happened “very fast,” soon after her father’s untimely death.
