Duration of Marriage: December 5, 2003 – July 14, 2016 (12 years)

Date of Birth: September 27, 1972

Zodiac Sign: Libra

Gwyneth Paltrow is one of Hollywood’s best actresses. Academy Award winner received critical acclaim after starring in Shakespeare in Love (1998), The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). She’s currently most known for her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside Robert Downey Jr.

Aside from her acting career, Paltrow has proven herself as a businesswoman and a lifestyle guru. In 2008, Gwyneth launched a weekly newsletter Goop, which focused on health, beauty, and peaceful living. The company expanded and now sells numerous products ranging from skincare products to clothes.

In details: Gwyneth Paltrow’s family

Gwyneth met Chris in 2012 just three weeks after her father passed away. The Coldplay frontman was able to heal Paltrow and the two became inseparable. Two celebrities got married in 2003 and had two children together: daughter Apple and son Moses. The former it-couple separated in 2014 and divorced two years later citing their split as “conscious uncoupling”. However, Paltrow and Martin remain friends for the sake of their children.

Who are Chris Martin’s children?

Apple Blythe Alison Martin (daughter with Gwyneth Paltrow)

Chris Martin's children - daughter Apple Blythe Alison Martin

Date of Birth: May 14, 2004

Zodiac Sign: Taurus

After little Apple was born, the public couldn’t believe Gwyneth and Chris settled on such a weird name for their child. As Paltrow explained: “It sounded so sweet and it conjured such a lovely picture for me – you know, apples are so sweet and they’re wholesome and it’s biblical – and I just thought it sounded so lovely and … clean! And I just thought, ‘Perfect!'”.

Gwyneth and Chris always protected their little girl from the public eye, but from her famous mom’s Instagram we gathered that she loves dancing and often spends time with Blue Ivy, daughter of Beyonce and Jay Z, who are friends with Paltrow.

Moses Bruce Anthony Martin (son with Gwyneth Paltrow)

Chris Martin's children - son Moses Bruce Anthony Martin

Date of Birth: April 8, 2006

Zodiac Sign: Aries

Moses also didn’t luck out on the regular name, but Gwyneth’s reasoning behind this one is sweet. Chris composed a song titled Moses right before he and Paltrow got married, which is where they got their son’s name from. Gwyneth and Chris guard their son just as carefully as their daughter, but he’s often caught out with his parents by paparazzi.

    Alison Martin, Gwyneth’s first mother in law and mother to Chris Martin, was not born in 1957. I went to the same school as she did in Africa (now Zimbabwe) and she was in the year above me. I was born in 1953, which means that Alison (pre-married name was Fleming) was born in 1952.

      This makes sense. If she were born in December 1957 she would have only been 19 when Chris was born. By the way, why did Alison Fleming go to school in Zimbabwe?
