Ten years ago, Gwyneth said she wanted an amicable divorce. Now her ex Chris Martin is marrying Dakota Johnson. Read More on Grazia.
They’re something of a quiet fixture when it comes to Hollywood couples, and yet, when news broke that Dakota Johnson, 34, and Chris Martin, 47, were engaged, there was still a flurry of surprise. And while it soon emerged that the couple – who’ve been dating for six years – may have been engaged for some time, and that the real story was an impending wedding, the fact that there was no big social media announcement only amplified their understated nature amid a sea of PDA showponies.
And so, conscious uncoupling was born. At the time, the response was a mixture of horror and outrage. The appetite for nasty, drama-filled starry splits was high, fuelled by huge tabloid sales, which were riding the wave of the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s 2005 divorce and Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears’ break-up. So when faced with an A-list couple who claimed not to hate one another’s guts, the collective consciousness was one of confusion.
The ‘namaste-ification’ of divorce has now seeped into the mainstream, with subsequent A-list couples falling over themselves to have the most amicable break-ups Hollywood has ever seen. Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman released a flowery statement toabout their split in 2016, which included the line, ‘Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on.’ Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck went ‘forward with love and friendship’ in 2017.
