2009

In 2009, rumors began to circulate that the pair had broken up, as they hadn't been seen together often in the public eye.

According to Gwyneth, the lack of publicity didn't equate to marital strife.

Speaking to ELLE at the time, Gwyneth said: “It doesn’t behoove us to be a public couple.

"He certainly doesn’t want to be that. We’ve never ever walked down a red carpet together, and we never will.

"If people think that that means we’re not together, then — ha ha ha! – so be it."

2014

On March 25, 2014, Gwyneth announced via her lifestyle blog, Goop, that she and Martin were splitting.

The Avengers actress revealed: "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.

"We have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.

"We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways, we are closer than we have ever been.

“We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner."

She used the term "conscious uncoupling," which is described as the ability to look within oneself and realize problems within a relationship are caused by negative internal energies and pieces of oneself that need healing.

2015

In April 2015, the Oscar winner and the Coldplay frontman officially filed for divorce.

According to court documents, the couple's date of separation was actually listed as May 6, 2013.

The two agreed to joint custody of their children.

2016

In July 2016, the divorce was finalized.

Speaking on the matter, Gwyneth said: "I never would have wanted to get divorced.

"I never would have wanted to not be married to the father of my kids. Theoretically.

"I had learned more about myself through that process than I could have imagined."

When did Gwyneth Paltrow get remarried?

On September 29, 2018, Gwyneth walked down the aisle with American Horror Story co-creator Brad Falchuk.

The pair tied the knot in a Hamptons wedding ceremony.

Gwyneth and Brad first met on the set of Glee in 2010 but didn't start dating until 2014.

The former had a guest role in an episode of the program and the latter was an executive producer.

The two were introduced to one another via their mutual friend Ryan Murphy.

Meanwhile, Chris has been in a relationship with The Lost Daughter actress Dakota Johnson since October 2017.
