Gwyneth Paltrow made sure her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, felt special on his 48th birthday.
The Oscar-winning actress shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram on March 2, posting two rare family photos featuring Martin with their children, Apple, 20, and Moses, 18.
“Happy Birthday to the man that gave me these beautiful, wonderful human beings, we💚you, Chris,” Paltrow, 52, wrote alongside the images. One photo shows Martin posing head-to-head with Apple, while another captures him seated at a piano next to Moses.
Paltrow and Martin were married from 2003 until their famous “conscious uncoupling” in 2014. Despite their divorce, the two have maintained a strong friendship and a seamless coparenting relationship. Martin is now engaged to actress Dakota Johnson, while Paltrow is married to producer Brad Falchuk.
According to sources, Martin feels “grateful” for how he and Paltrow have prioritized their children and remained close. The former couple has even vacationed together and recently reunited in November 2024 to support Apple at the prestigious Le Bal des Débutantes ball in Paris.
Paltrow has openly discussed their commitment to keeping their family bond intact, stating in interviews that Martin remains an important part of her life. “He’s completely my family, and I love him,” she shared, emphasizing their dedication to ensuring their children are unaffected by their separation.
