Chris Martin is a British musician, frontman and lead singer of the rock band Coldplay, Grammy Award winner and, among other things, ex-husband Hollywood star.

Childhood and youth

Christopher Anthony John Martin was born in March 1977, according to some sources - in Exter, the main city of Devonshire, according to others - in the village of Whitestone. Chris was the first-born of five children of accountant Anthony and music teacher Alison Martin. Chris's ancestors include English entrepreneur William Willett, the author of the idea of changing clocks to winter time.

Chris spent his childhood in preparatory school Exeter Cathedral School and Sherborne School in Dorset. In the latter, he became friends with Philip Harvey, who would later become the manager of the musical group created by Martin. Sang in the church choir.

Upon completion of these educational institutions The future musician entered University College in London to study ancient history. Here he mastered Greek and Latin languages and, in addition, made friends who shared his musical passions. Guy Berryman, Will Champion, Jonny Buckland and Chris formed a group called Coldplay.

Chris's passion for music was influenced by the bands A-ha and U-2. Initially, the musician had the idea of creating a boy band and came up with the name – Pectoralz, but in the end the friends settled on the “alternative rock” style and the already known name.

Music

The debut album Safety, by and large, said nothing to critics and ordinary listeners. In 2000, Martin's group released their first studio album, Parachutes, which became certified seven times platinum in Britain and twice in the USA and Canada. The album won a Grammy Award and its British equivalent, the Brit Awards, and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

Among other accolades of the album - 12th place in the list of the 20 best-selling albums of the 21st century in Great Britain, 25th in the hundred greatest albums of all time according to Channel 4. Surprisingly, despite the dizzying success, the Coldplay frontman said that the album the group didn't like it.

Although it is known that Chris likes the work of his own group called “Glass of Water” and the title song of the album “A Head Full of Dreams”. By the way, the latter’s promotional single, called “Everglow,” featured backing vocals performed by Gwyneth Paltrow.

The group won the Grammy Award 8 more times for songs from the albums X&Y, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, Mylo Xyloto. Videos for individual songs also got into rotation and took high places in the charts.

The solo page in the singer’s biography turned out no less successfully. His most diverse colleagues can be proud of their collaboration with the musician - Ron Sexsmith and Jamelia and Ian McCulloch. During his solo career, Chris Martin recorded 9 albums, in which the singer participated as a co-author and producer. And after working with the Briton, he said that he simply didn’t want to sing with anyone else.

Personal life

The list of novels of the brutal rocker is enviable. In first place is an Oscar-winning Hollywood star. But if the singer spoke openly about his thirst for fame and success, he immediately closed himself off when talking about his family. Moreover, his wife and daughter, in general, made him a recognizable face for the press.

Chris met the actress in 2002 at his own concert. A year later, Gwyneth became Martin’s wife; the couple had a secret wedding, inviting only their closest relatives. The marriage produced children: daughter Apple Blythe Alison, born in London, and son Moses Bruce Anthony, born in New York. Apple's godfathers are British comedian and Coldplay bandmate Jonny Buckland.

After 12 years of marriage and a two-year divorce process, Chris and Gwyneth broke up, but maintained good relations. As Martin said, they did nothing in public, and journalists can think whatever they want about family relationships. As if to confirm the words “There is friendship after divorce,” joint and quite friendly photos of Chris with Paltrow’s new lover, Brad Falchuk, appeared on the Internet.

The yellow press suspected Martin of having tender feelings for and. However, the paparazzi only managed to catch the musician with the actress on the beach and with the children. Chris was caught walking with the singer during the British Summer Time festival. The official representative said that the Australian and the British man had been friends for a long time, and one came to support the other during the performance.

Chris's relationship with another film figure seemed serious. The musician dedicated the song “Atlas” to the girl, which became the soundtrack to the film “The Hunger Games. And the flame will burst out." The couple broke up and got back together, for a long time called the relationship friendly or simply remained silent.

However, according to rumors, the actress’s mother opposed the development of the novel. The woman felt that her daughter’s boyfriend was spending a lot of time with her. ex-family. In addition, Jennifer's mother still sympathized with the actress's ex-boyfriend. The blonde eventually returned to him.

Then the singer switched to the actress of the TV series “The Tudors” and the film “The Mummy”. The musician’s friends noted that Chris was specifically looking for a girl who was cheerful, sociable and easy-going, who would be different from the too serious Gwyneth. Followers noticed a certain pattern. Not only is there a physical resemblance between Annabelle and Gwyneth, but photos also appeared on Wallis’ Instagram that were similar in plot to images from the page of Martin’s ex-wife.

At the same time, Chris flirted with singers and. The British performer worked with a girl from Kosovo on a song from her first album. The second paparazzi was caught hugging the lead singer of Coldplay at the Glastonbury festival.

In 2016, ubiquitous journalists caught Martin at a night party with the singer. The conclusion about the new romance suggested itself when the celebrity was caught leaving the same hotel in the morning where Chris lived.

When he was Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Martin preferred vegetarianism. However, the musician does not know how to cook. The Hollywood celebrity said that when Chris entered the kitchen, a fire truck would certainly arrive.

Chris is an unconventional rocker because he has no cravings for tobacco, drugs or booze. Among the singer’s musical preferences are “Nightswimming” by the group R.E.M., the Scottish group Travis, “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by The Verve. The vocalist of this group is the favorite performer of the leader of Coldplay.

The musician participates in charity projects. In particular, he buys expensive works of art, the proceeds from the sale of which go to special relief funds. Martin also wrote compositions for the Band Aid group, created specifically to raise money for starving children in Ethiopia. Chris presented his first guitar at an auction, the proceeds of which were donated to an organization that helps children from low-income families.

Chris Martin now

Charming, blue-eyed, tall (the musician’s height is 186 cm), the singer is not deprived of female attention.

At the end of 2017, Chris’s next romance was confirmed, this time with, the daughter of the notorious and. The actress and model is known for her appearance in the film Fifty Shades of Grey. The girl has already managed to introduce her beloved to her father. The Miami Vice star is somewhat concerned that his daughter's relationship is moving too quickly.

“I only had a serious relationship with a girl once. With his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. It sounds strange? Well, two hundred years ago this would not have seemed strange,” - just a year ago these words of musician Chris Martin would have made us touched and envious of Gwyneth. But not now, when it became known that the couple announced their separation after ten years of marriage. What happened? Are these the same notorious “irreconcilable contradictions” that celebrities love to refer to?

In fact, Paltrow and Martin's decision was not spontaneous, made in the heat of the moment. Here is their official statement: “It is with sadness in our hearts that we have made this decision. We tried hard to prevent this for a year. Being together for some time and apart for some time, we worked hard to understand what could happen between us. In the end, we came to the conclusion that, despite the fact that we still love each other very much, it was better for us to break up. No matter what, we are still family and will always be family. In many ways, we are closer to each other now than ever before. First and foremost, we are parents of two wonderful children, and we ask that you respect them and our privacy during this difficult time.”

These seem to be warm and touching words. But Marc Anthony, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr said exactly the same thing when breaking up. Why run away if “we still love each other very much”? Or is there something we don't understand?

Music for comfort

Gwyneth always knew that she wanted to get married once and for all. And all because before her eyes there was a wonderful example of parents: film director Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner lived happily together for 33 years.

Gwyneth was born on September 27, 1972 in Los Angeles and was the eldest child (she has younger brother Jake). As befits a girl from a good, wealthy family, she studied at a private school. Then she studied art history, but in the end genes took their toll, and the girl decided that she wanted to be an actress - like her mother. Her film career did not immediately take off, but was quite successful. And already at the age of 26, Paltrow received an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her role in the film Shakespeare in Love.

Filming brought the actress not only fame and good fees, but also meetings with various interesting men. So, in different time her partners on the set were Ethan Hawke (“Great Expectations”), Michael Douglas and Viggo Mortensen (“A Perfect Murder”), Jude Law (“The Talented Mr. Ripley”), Robert Downey Jr. (“Iron Man”), Joaquin Phoenix ("Lovers") And, of course, Paltrow couldn’t help but get carried away by one of her partners.

Her first great love there was Brad Pitt, whom she met on the set of the acclaimed thriller “Seven”. Then she was only 22 years old, and she fell head over heels in love with the handsome actor. The romance was serious, the couple even got engaged. It was all the more difficult for Gwyneth after breaking up with Brad. Ben Affleck, her co-star in the films “Shakespeare in Love” and “Someone else’s Ticket,” helped the girl forget Pitt. But this romance did not lead to a wedding. It was rumored that Viggo Mortensen, Gwyneth’s colleague in the thriller “A Perfect Murder,” was to blame. Like, the actress had a connection with him not only according to the script. However, Mortensen denied this in every possible way.

It must be said that Paltrow had a hard time dealing with breakups with men (we remember her dream of getting married once and for all?). But everything turned out to be a small thing compared to the biggest tragedy in the actress’s life - the death of her father, whom she idolized. Bruce Paltrow died in 2002, and it was a huge shock for Gwyneth. She was confused and almost fell into a state. Three weeks after the funeral, the actress decided to somehow escape from difficult thoughts and went to a concert of the British group Coldplay...

Modest guy

Gwyneth liked the Coldplay concert. And so much so that she decided to go backstage after him and thank the musicians. Can you imagine the surprise of lead singer Chris Martin when a Hollywood star walked into his dressing room! “Hi, my name is Gwyneth. You know, I really like your music. And I came to say - no one before you, instead of you and, I think, after you will sing so tenderly and sadly about. You sing what you want to hear in your ear, in silence.” Martin was terribly embarrassed, and Paltrow laughed and added: “And also... Can I get your autograph?”...

Christopher Anthony John Martin was born on March 2, 1977 in Exeter, England, in ordinary family. His father was an accountant, his mother taught at a music school. After leaving school, Chris entered University College in London, where he studied Latin and Greek language, played hockey. And then he became interested in rock music. So much so that in 1996, together with university friends, Martin created his own group - Coldplay. In 2000, the band's first album, Parachutes, was released, which brought them international popularity, and with it money and crowds of fans.

It seems that all rock musicians take advantage of their fame and have numerous fleeting romances with fans. According to Martin, this is not at all true. “I lost my virginity at 22,” says the musician. “I was a very religious, rather naive and quick-to-judge teenager.” Therefore, it’s easy to imagine how Chris felt when Gwyneth Paltrow herself came to him. She was a little older and more experienced and very famous. However, neither this nor Chris's modesty prevented their romance. It seemed that it was in this simple guy that Gwyneth found what she had been looking for and striving for for so long.

Paltrow and Martin's wedding took place a year after they met - on December 5, 2003. She was modest, without celebrations. Only the closest friends were present at the ceremony, who already knew that the bride was in her third month. Their daughter Apple was born in 2004, and their son Moses two years later. It seems that at that time the actress was truly happy.

Secret-explicit

The couple led an unusually non-public life, preferring walks and relaxation with family to social gatherings. Gwyneth shone on the red carpet and tried to talk as little as possible about her personal life, only hinting at how lucky she was with her husband. And Chris dedicated songs to her as proof of his love. They were closed to journalists, but seemed happy. And suddenly a divorce...

“Once I asked my dad how he and my mom managed to live together for 33 years? To which he replied that thoughts of divorce visited each of them, but they never wanted to get a divorce at the same time. I think that if one of the two wants to get a divorce, and the second says: “Wait, let’s improve our relationship,” then the marriage can always be saved,” the actress said in an interview. Apparently, Gwyneth and Chris had the desire to run away at the same time.

Maybe they are tired of each other? Or does Paltrow really have too difficult a character, for which she is disliked in Hollywood? They say that Martin did not really like his wife’s manic passion for a healthy lifestyle and on which she put the whole family. Or perhaps the distance and their work are to blame for everything - Gwyneth is filming almost all the time in Los Angeles, while Chris is recording a new album in London... Although there is another version: in recent years the couple have behaved not like a family, but like free people, cheating on each other. Thus, Martin is credited with romances with Helena Christensen, Kate Bosworth and even Kate Hudson, who was once friends with Paltrow. According to rumors, the musician's latest passion is Alexa Chung. This, they say, overwhelmed the wife’s patience. However, if you believe the same rumors, Gwyneth herself was not a very exemplary wife, having close relationships with billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, Glee producer Brad Falchuk and lawyer Kevin Yorn.

Be that as it may, the fact remains: the couple announced a divorce. They say that for the sake of the children, the spouses try to maintain a good relationship and protect their son and daughter in every possible way. The actress even took Apple and Moses to the Bahamas until all the fuss surrounding their family died down. But something tells us that the hype will last for a long time and this story will continue.

In a lengthy essay entitled "On Conscious Separation," Habib Sadeghi and Sherry Sami described divorce as "traumatic and difficult decision for both parties involved."

It must be said that actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, leader of the music group Coldplay Chris Martin, did not decide to separate overnight. Over the course of a year, they parted ways, started new romances, and got back together again, but, alas, they failed to “glue the broken cup back together.” March 25 . The couple's joint statement, entitled "Conscious separation", appeared on the actress's website.

“We have decided to leave, and our hearts are now full of sadness. Over the course of a year, we tried to save our marriage, sometimes together, sometimes separately, trying to understand what was happening between us, and in the end we came to the conclusion: despite the fact that we will always love each other, we are breaking up. In any case, we will always remain a family and now we are, to some extent, closer to each other than ever. First and foremost, we are parents of two beautiful children. And we ask that you respect our privacy and the lives of our children during this difficult time for us.” What was the reason why, twelve years later, people who sincerely loved each other realized that they no longer had a common future?

Dear Brad and Big Ben

Gwyneth's path to the Dream Factory was predetermined. She was born in Los Angeles, her father Bruce Paltrow is a director and major TV producer, her mother is the famous actress Blythe Danner. Since childhood, Gwyneth felt involved in the great world of theater, cinema and television. In an interview, she said that she had a wonderful childhood, her parents gave her an excellent education. An intelligent, well-mannered, beautiful girl from a good family - an enviable bride, it would seem. However, her first love turned out to be tragic.

The guy who broke off his engagement to Gwyneth and, one might say, ran away from the wedding was none other than Brad Pitt. They met in 1995 on the set of the film “Seven”. “Their mutual attraction was so obvious that it seemed as if electric discharges were flying through the air!” - recalled their co-star, actor Morgan Freeman. A year later, the couple announced their engagement. Brad called his bride “the love of his life and his angel,” but a year later he changed his mind about getting married. They broke up without any accusations against each other and without any explanation. Recently, in a television interview, Paltrow admitted: “I was madly in love with Brad, but everything collapsed because of me. I was young and inexperienced then. I regret many of the decisions and actions of my youth, but Brad was definitely too good for me." But close friends of this couple are sure that it was Pitt who felt inferior against the background of the too correct intellectual Gwyneth. And she was the “unattainable star” for a poorly educated guy who did not know how to dress and behave in decent society. She could talk for hours about modern art and Russian literature, but he loved beer, country music, and reading was not one of his hobbies. Brad realized in time that he and Gwyneth would not be able to build a family. The actress was very worried about the breakup of their relationship, and even lost up to forty kilograms. Paltrow was saved from anorexia by her friend Madonna, who against her will took the unfortunate woman to a rehabilitation clinic. There, during forced, painful tube feedings, Gwyneth realized that no man was worth such torment.

Another high-profile romance of the actress is with Ben Affleck, a well-known heartthrob in Hollywood, “the favorite of many women and some men,” as he himself jokes. They met in 1997 at one of the social parties. Gwyneth came to her first date accompanied by her mother, actress Blythe Danner, a longtime acquaintance of Affleck's father. Ben felt like he was taking an exam. But he received the “examiner’s” approval, and the couple began dating. At first, the actor was in a state of euphoria: he got such a wonderful girl! When in an interview he was asked to rate his relationship with Gwyneth on a scale of ten, he exclaimed: “Eleven points!” It seemed that things were heading towards a wedding, but... As Western media reported, the relationship broke up due to the actress’s new romance with Joseph Fiennes, her co-star in the film “Shakespeare in Love.” Gwyneth refused to be a double in erotic scenes and spoke so enthusiastically about her colleague that it caused a real storm in Ben’s soul. As it turned out, he was jealous not without reason. The final straw was photos of Paltrow and Fiennes kissing off set. Gwyneth tried to convince Ben that it was a dress rehearsal, but he didn't believe her. “Our love, like a train, crashed,” Ben stated bitterly. "We found ourselves different systems values,” summed up the actress.

Later she will tell you that it was Affleck who kept looking to the side all the time and in general “he was better off dating strippers.” “At that time, he was not ready for a serious relationship, unlike me.” By the way, after breaking up with Paltrow, Affleck had another unsuccessful romance. In 2002, on the set of the film Gigli, he met the popular singer Jennifer Lopez. JLo fell passionately in love and was overjoyed when Ben gave her an engagement ring. Not a day went by without something new and juicy appearing in the press about “Benifer,” as the couple was nicknamed. Affleck was the first to succumb to the tension. Not long ago, Jennifer Lopez released a book of memoirs called “ Real love", where she frankly spoke about this novel. “Ben asked me to break up, unable to withstand the pressure from the press and fans, and I felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I was devastated. I really wanted to start a family, give birth to Ben’s children and live like in a fairy tale.” By the way, Gwyneth Paltrow then quipped that Affleck’s behavior did not surprise her at all: he supposedly tends to look for trouble for himself. Now mutual claims have been forgotten, and Paltrow is delighted with Ben’s wife, Jennifer Garner: “Jennifer is my neighbor, and I adore her. She’s warm-hearted, she’s a great housewife, she’s a good cook and she loves her children.”

With a tight grip

Chris Martin became Gwyneth's number three attempt to start a family. Their love story began in 2002 backstage at Wembley Stadium after a Coldplay performance. At that time, the actress was experiencing a terrible tragedy. Her father, Bruce Paltrow, died at fifty-eight. Gwyneth, who had considered herself a daddy's girl all her life, was in despair. Chris turned out to be the shoulder she could lean on. “It was a miracle that I believe my dad sent me. After all, I was in a terrible state then,” Gwyneth recalled. In fact, the Coldplay frontman is the black sheep in the world of rock music. A good boy at school, a talented singer and composer who does not drink alcohol or drugs, he could be an ideal match for the Oscar-winning beauty. A few months later, after the historic meeting backstage, the actress went on tour with Martin and his band. On December 5, 2003, they got married at Rancho San Ysidro in California. Gwyneth was already three months pregnant. Baby Apple was born in May 2004, and two years later their second child, son Moses, was born. Chris did not hide the fact that the head of their family is his wife, and he often has to obey her. But his henpecked status did not bother him at all; he sincerely considered meeting Gwyneth a gift of fate!

But everything is for the time being. Paltrow is just obsessed with diets and healthy way life. In an effort to look better than her young husband (Chris is four years younger than her), Gwyneth tortured herself with physical exercise, became a vegetarian, and switched to a gluten-free diet. Moreover, she got the whole family hooked on her. The star's children dreamed not only of sweets, but also of simple bread, pasta and white rice, which were strictly prohibited. Friends of the couple recalled that Chris was very worried about the fact that the kids were constantly in a half-starved state. However, he did not dare to argue with his wife. It is noteworthy that the first thing the musician did after the divorce was to eat plenty of steaks.

Gwyneth also had complaints. “Chris and I have different temperaments. You know, creative people are very sensitive, their mood changes every minute. This definitely applies to musicians: they need all their “improvisations” to be taken seriously. Only then do they have the inspiration to create. Get along with creative person, in addition, endowed with an explosive character, is not an easy task. As a wise woman, I try to pay more attention to understanding him than to being understood myself...” But, according to close friends of this couple, everything happened exactly the opposite. “Gwyneth called her husband very offensive nicknames, not embarrassed by the presence of friends! She only needed Chris to give birth to children. Naturally, at first she was in love with him, but after some time living together she discovered that Chris had too many shortcomings that she categorically did not like.” The musician was constantly the subject of ridicule by his missus because he dressed in baggy T-shirts and did not watch his diet. But, despite numerous rumors about his ex-wife’s “unbearable” behavior and bad character, he now behaves like a real gentleman, blames only himself for the divorce and calls Gwyneth “wonderful.”

“It all started two years ago, when I realized that I was not able to enjoy communication with my family in the way that everyone would like. These were only my personal problems, as a result they led to such an end, which is only my fault. I couldn’t open up to anyone, so I underestimated all the wonderful people who surrounded me, it caused them great pain,” he says in an interview.

Trying to maintain their union, Gwyneth and Chris decided to give each other maximum freedom. The tabloids brought to light evidence of numerous betrayals on both sides. They write that the musician had an affair with fashion model Alexa Chung, Danish model Helena Christensen, actress Kate Bosworth (with whom he passionately kissed in Central Park in New York) and even Paltrow's ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson. Gwyneth, according to her friends, also met with many “money bags,” among whom was billionaire Jeffrey Soffer. Among her boyfriends are also lawyer Kevin Yorno and actor Donavan Leach, known for “Grey’s Anatomy.” “Gwyneth and Chris have long been separated from each other, both physically and emotionally. Each of them always did what they wanted. And none of them thought that there was anything unusual about it. They came and went apart over the years. The fact that their marriage was falling apart caused them great pain, and they tried to eliminate it day after day,” friends of this couple readily share with journalists. Apparently, at some point, Gwyneth and Chris realized that, in fact, they had very little in common. And they decided to leave.

Now the musician is having an affair with the star of the film “The Hunger Games,” 24-year-old actress Jennifer Lawrence. She was a longtime fan of his group. They say that Gwyneth, with her characteristic pedantry, drew up a schedule of dates for her ex-husband with his passion. Arguing this by saying that personal life must be combined with fulfilling paternal obligations. According to the court's decision, the children will remain to live with their mother, but Chris can visit them whenever he wishes. Gwyneth is also trying to take her mind off the family drama. Her new boyfriend is director Brad Falchuk. They met on the set of the series “Losers,” where the actress played a small role. Recently, the couple made an official appearance together - at a party on the occasion of Robert Downey Jr.'s 50th birthday. Will Gwyneth take her past experiences into account in her new relationship? Or her desire for the ideal will again cross out the opportunity to build happiness with a real man, who, alas, cannot but have shortcomings.

They were considered one of the strongest couples among the stars. They were together for 10 years, gave birth to two children - daughter Apple (she is now 9 years old) and son Moses (he is now 7 years old). Rumors about separation were never written about them. And yet they get divorced. The day before, a message was published on the actress’s website in which the couple announced their separation.

“It is with sadness in our hearts that we tell you that we have decided to separate. All Last year We worked on our relationship and came to the conclusion that, despite the fact that we love each other very much, we should continue to go our separate ways."

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow got married in December 2003

Gwyneth and Chris also emphasized that they were breaking up by mutual consent and would remain close friends.

“However, we will always be one family, and in some ways we are closer to each other now than we were before. First of all, we are parents of two wonderful children, and this is the most important thing. We ask for your understanding of our decision and the request not to interfere in our lives during this difficult time. We have always tried to lead a private life and hope that it will continue to be so.”

There weren't even rumors about them breaking up

But the couple only recently moved from London to Los Angeles. But most likely Chris Martin will return to his homeland of England, where his band Coldplay is based. And Gwyneth and her children will remain in California, where she recently bought a house.

Most likely the children will stay with Gwyneth

Rumors have already spread in the press that Gwyneth is to blame for the breakup. She's all last year fought with Vanity Fair magazine, which threatened the actress to publish compromising information about her relationships with other men, in particular with billionaire Jeff Soffer and her lawyer, so the reason for their separation may lie here too.

The same message regarding separation
