‘Like my brother’: Gwyneth opens up about her divorce from Chris
When they 'consciously uncoupled' in 2014, everyone assumed that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow had this whole separation nailed because, let's face it, who comes up with that term without having everything under control?!
It turns out, though, the fallout was worse than most of us realised – something which Gwynnie opened up about during a recent interview with Red magazine.
It sounds like the star had a tough time holding things together, explaining: "I have to say it wasn't the outcome we were hoping for, but it was our outcome and we've really done the best that we can."
"So we really tried and that meant I'm gonna check my s**t at the door, and I'm going to focus on all the reasons that I love you, that you're like my brother and my family forever and we'll deal with that stuff another time."
Her brother? Really?
"It's not always easy, but it's just the way we wanted to try to do it," she added of the stressful time. "I think that I'm very lucky in that I have such a willing partner in agreeing with, and teaching me, as much as I taught him."
It turns out the couple had broken up a full YEAR before they ever made their now infamous announcement – Maybe it took a full 12 months to come up with the 'consciously uncouple' phrase?
