It’s something the world never thought would happen. Power couple Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have announced that they are to separate after 10 years together. The Oscar winning actress and Coldplay frontman have two children – Apple and Moses together.

The duo released a statement together on Paltrow’s popular website Goop.com (the announcement has led the site to crash).

“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.”

“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.” says the statement.
