Chris Martin, fragile rose of a man, has opened up about his break-up from wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Or, should we say, his ‘conscious uncoupling‘ from Gwyneth, the mother of his two babies, Apple and Moses.
The 37-year-old Coldplay singer has blamed his “personal issues” for not being able to appreciate what he had with Gwyn.
Have you got tissues on hand, lovelies? You might need ’em.
Here’s Chris, sharing his beautiful emotions in a typically stoic English stiff-upper-lip kind of way.

When Gwyneth and Chris ‘consciously uncoupled’, they released a statement via Gwyneth’s lifestyle website GOOP that set the world wondering who was at fault. This gentle confession from Chris might explain why his next album ‘Ghost Stories’ is especially sombre. The latest Coldplay single Magic is basically the greatest heartbreak anthem produced in years.
While you read more about Chris’s heart-melting chat, might we suggest you play Magic for a bit of background ambience?
“I wouldn’t use the word breakdown — this was more a realisation about trying to grow up, basically. If you can’t open yourself up, you can’t appreciate the wonder inside. So you can be with someone very wonderful, but because of your own issues you cannot let that be celebrated in the right way.”
Presumably that someone very wonderful was Gwyneth Paltrow. The way he speaks, you can suddenly understand why so many of his songs are utterly heartbreaking in the most poetic way.
“I don’t want to go through life being scared of love, failure or rejection.”
Neither do we, Christopher. Neither do we.

I like him a lot. Not sure what it is, but I think he would be a good guy in 'real life'.
