Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin popularized the term 'conscious uncoupling' 10 years ago when they announced their breakup. The actress and Goop founder recently said she's 'proud' of helping make the phrase stick a decade ago.
Benjamin VanHoose is an Associate Editor on the Movies team at PEOPLE. He has written about entertainment and breaking news for over five years."It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate," read their joint statement at the time.
"I had never heard of the phrase 'conscious uncoupling.' Frankly, the term sounded a bit full of itself, painfully progressive and hard to swallow," she wrote. The actress recalled being nervous to publish the announcement on her Goop website at the time — and she was surprised by the level of response from the public, including a "combination of mockery and anger that I had never seen."
