Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin divorce: Exes to make their 'conscious uncoupling' official

Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay's Chris Martin famously "consciously uncoupled" back in 2014 after ten years of marriage, but it looks like the couple are now making their split official.

TMZ reports that the pair recently signed their divorce papers and are one step closer to agreeing on a settlement. The deal will reportedly include division of property and give them both joint custody of their two children, Apple, 12, and Moses, 10.

The Oscar-winning actress previously revealed that they had managed to stay friends because their children are their number one priority. Speaking at the #BlogHer15 conference in New York, she said: "I think, unfortunately, though we couldn't stay in a romantic relationship, we're very, our values are very much around the importance of family and the importance of those relationships and I'm lucky that we're aligned in that way.

She added that although it's been hard, "we've gone through really difficult times with it but we've always said these children are our priority".

Back in September 2015, the Iron Man star went public with her new romance with Glee and American Horror Story co-creator Brad Falchuk at the premiere of his new TV show Scream Queens. In a black and white image posted on his Instagram page, the couple lean in for a selfie as the 43-year-old beams with pride. He captioned it: "My date and I #screamqueens."

Martin was romantically linked to Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence in August 2014 but their relationship is said to have fizzled out in 2015.
