Coldplay frontman Chris Martin recently turned 48 on Sunday, March 2, 2025, receiving a heartfelt birthday wish from his former wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Oscar-winning actress took to her Instagram to post two adorable pictures of Martin sharing the frame with their daughter, Apple, and son Moses. Paltrow penned the caption, “Happy Birthday to the man that gave me these beautiful, wonderful human beings, we?you, Chris”

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were one of the most prominent It Couples of the early 2000s. They met in 2002 backstage at a Coldplay concert and quickly became a media darling of the Y2K era. The two tied the knot on December 5, 2003, and remained together for over a decade. Their children, Apple and Moses, were born in 2004 and 2006, respectively. In March 2014, the pair announced their decision to part ways, referring to it as a “conscious uncoupling.” Two years later, their divorce was finalized on July 14, 2016. Despite their separation, they have remained close friends and continue to co-parent their children graciously.
Over the years following their split, both Martin and Paltrow had been candid about their changed relationship. In a 2019 interview with The Evening Standard, Paltrow stated, “I think Chris and I were meant to be together and have our kids. But our relationship is much better like this: friends and co-parents and family.” Paltrow is currently married to producer Brad Falchuk, while Martin is engaged to Dakota Johnson.
