Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have announced their separation after ten years of marriage. The pair, who have two children, Moses, 7, and Apple, 9, announced the news on her lifestyle website, Goop. 'It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.' reads the statement as reported by E! Online (Goop just hasn't been loading, as it's become totally overburdened with hits…)
The actress and Coldplay frontman continued: 'We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time.'
'We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.' Wow. More news and lots of spurious rumours to come, we're sure.
