Gwyneth Paltrow, 50, shares a VERY rare selfie with her ex Chris Martin on her 46th birthday
Gwyneth Paltrow shared a very rare photo with her ex-husband on Thursday.
The GOOP founder was seen wearing little makeup and her nerdy glasses as she leaned her head against Chris Martin in what appeared to be a parking lot.
The 50-year-old Oscar winner wished her ex-spouse, from whom she “consciously separated” in 2014, a happy 46th birthday.
And the Shakespeare In Love star gushed about her old flame, whom she was married to from 2003 to 2016.
“Happy birthday to the sweetest father and friend ❤️ we love you cajm,” he captioned the photo.
Still friends after ‘consciously breaking up’ in 2014: Gwyneth Paltrow shared a very rare photo with her ex-husband on Thursday. The GOOP founder was seen wearing little makeup and her nerdy glasses instead of hers as she leaned her head against Chris Martin.
The stars also have two children together: Apple, 18, and Moses, 16.
In March 2014, the couple broke up.
Paltrow and Martin shocked fans when they announced they were splitting up in a post on the Goop website titled Conscious Uncoupling.
“It is with hearts heavy with sadness that we have decided to part ways,” the couple wrote.
But since that split they seem to have become close friends, even vacationing together with her new husband Brad Falchuk and his constant love, Dakota Johnson, who is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.
In 2019, she said that she and Chris were always meant to be together.
The Duets actress told the Evening Standard: “We were apart for a year before we announced we were splitting up.”
“We kept it very secret, and at the time I asked adult friends with divorced parents what they remembered.
‘There was this resonant theme: “It was really hard because for the first two years my parents didn’t talk. It was horrible for a while” or “My parents hated each other.”

And I thought, “I’d really love to skip that part.” Those kids felt like they were constantly betraying one parent by being with the other.”
This comes after the Iron Man star wished Falchuk a happy birthday on Wednesday with a sweet post on Instagram.
The 50-year-old Goop mogul, who recently opened up about his dry skin, shared a gorgeous photo of the Glee showrunner to celebrate his 52nd birthday.
Captioning a photo of Falchuk in a chic white cardigan, Paltrow wrote: “He won’t see this because he’s not on social media (another reason he’s so cool) but let’s wish him a happy birthday anyway.”
Gwyneth christened her post with a blue heart emoji, and her celebrity friends were quick to send Brad well-wishes in the comments section.
“Happy birthday HOTNESS,” Chelsea Handler wrote, while Jessica Seinfeld declared, “No one wears a shawl collar like this man.”

Birthday love: The Goop mogul shared a beautiful photo of the Glee showrunner to celebrate his 52nd birthday Captioning a photo of Falchuk in a chic white cardigan, Paltrow wrote: ‘You won’t see this because he’s not on social media (another reason why he’s great) but we’re going to wish him a happy birthday, anyway.’
Last losing streak? The Shakespeare in Love star married Falchuk in 2018 and the couple recently overcame some rumors in November that their marriage had “hit a rough patch.”
Before starting a family with Martin, Paltrow embarked on a tumultuous romance with fellow Oscar winner Ben Affleck, 50, in his heyday as a heartthrob in the late ’90s.
The couple met in 1997 at a Hollywood dinner for the now-infamous Miramax, which was Harvey Weinstein’s domain at the time.
Paltrow would later become a critical source in going on record and exposing the tyrannical producer as a sexual predator, detailing his harassment of her when she was in a serious relationship with Brad Pitt, 59.
But Brad was before Ben and Gwyneth’s on-off relationship with the Gone Girl star ended for good in 2000 after they co-starred in the romantic drama film Bounce.
In their first high-profile relationship, Paltrow and Pitt’s three-year relationship ended in a broken engagement.
A source told Radar Online: “Brad used to hit back when Gwyneth bossed him around or made inappropriate or embarrassing public disclosures about his sex life, or his feelings for his exes.” But he finally realized that he didn’t make sense.
