For ten years they were an unconventional marriage and very jealous of their privacy. Divorced they were pioneers in ceasing to be a couple without ceasing to be a family. In the year 2002 Gwyneth Paltrow lived in New York she was 30 years old, an Oscar won at 26 a sophisticated natural beauty her parents were quite famous   Bruce Paltrow and Blythe Paltner  and Brad Pitt  her ex boyfriend was mega known.





In 2002 Chris Martin lived in London he was 25 years old and had only lost his virginity two years ago. Graduated in Sciences of the Ancient World the title was ruined before the incipient fame that he achieved as leader of Coldplay  the band that with Parachutes  his debut album had become a success. With the ocean in between it seemed unlikely that these two souls would meet and yet they not only met but fell in love got married had two kids got divorced and became the most cronies in the world. How did they do it? We will try to tell.


It is not very clear when the actress and the musician saw each other for the first time. In fact when Rolling Stone magazine asked the British how he met her he replied Invent the most interesting thing you can think of and I will say that I said that later .   Some assure that they met at a dinner in Mallorca where the then Prince Felipe  the future king of Spain was also present. It seems that at that time the blonde commoner and the Spaniard liked each other but when she evaluated what starting a romance would entail  she said Thank you but better not.





Paltrows version is that the couple with the musician was formed thanks to press rumors.  Its unbelievable but it was like that. At the end of 2002 a wave of news began to emerge about an alleged relationship with Chris when we didnot even know each other. He made up everything  but we had not even spoken not once. The contact was made in the middle of a concert A few weeks later I went to see Coldplay in London. And between two songs Chris said  in reference to a girl who was supposed to go see him The girl I was going to see is not here so I am going to go with Gwyneth Paltrow  who was over there. I was dying of shame. Then we met in the dressing room and we never parted ways.



When she started dating Martin, she was still in the process of saying goodbye to her father. He accompanied her as she best knew her and composed the song  Fix you for her  which became one of the most emblematic of the band. To compose it she used a very special keyboard.  My father in law Bruce Paltrow bought this great keyboard just before he died. No one had ever plugged it in. I plugged it in and there was an amazing sound that I have never heard before. All these songs came out of this sound. Something has to inspire you  and something else is imposed   said the musician in an interview for USA Today .
