So Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow Have Broken Up After 11 Years of Marriage
This, obviously, is the gossip that’s being chattered about everywhere today. And where did we hear about it first? On Gwyneth’s much-ridiculed website, Goop.com. (You may have trouble getting on; there’s quite a bit of traffic and it’s crashed more than once.) Just in case, here’s the relevant bit:
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 and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.Love,
Gwyneth & Chris

“Conscious uncoupling?” What bafflegab.
Now the dissections begin.
- Was Gwyneth stepping out on Chris?
- Was it the pressure of the whole Vanity Fair thing?
- Incompatible work schedules?
- What happened on that family trip to the Bahamas?
- It will be awkward at bass player Guy Berryman’s upcoming wedding, won’t it?
- Home renovations often drive couples apart–and Chris and Gwyneth had enough of those in London, didn’t they?
- Holy crap! Didn’t they just spend $14 million on a Malibu beach house?
- And will Chris turn into a groupie slut on the next Coldplay tour? (I don’t have a link for that; I’m just thinking out loud.)
*Sigh* Can Brangelina be far behind?
