Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow is known for her roles in movies like Shakespeare in Love, Emma, Seven, and Sliding Doors. Shortly after meeting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin backstage at one of his gigs in October 2002, the pair quickly embarked on a whirlwind romance that saw them married a few months later in 2003.
Their wedding was a big secret, and the couple only announced their union to the world a few months later.
The couple welcomed daughter Apple in 2004 and went on to have their second child, son Moses, two years later in 2006.
The Marriage Fell Apart
Unfortunately, too many differences (and a rumor of infidelity) caused the couple to separate in 2014. Their divorce was finalized in 2016.
The separation came as a surprise to many people who thought that the marriage was a match made in heaven.
Regardless of their marital status, Paltrow and Martin endeavor to raise their children together and still spend as much of their free time together as a family as possible.
But, Martin doesn’t always share some of Paltrow’s more questionable rules for their children, as he believes in a more relaxed approach to parenting.
Respecting the Rules
He is, however, respectful of his ex-wife’s choices and doesn’t interfere with her rules too much.
While some may not agree with the rules Gwyneth has enforced on her children, it’s important to remember that each parent wants only the best for their children.
What works for her might not work for others, but Gwyneth is insistent on enforcing these rules with her children to ensure they live as normal a life as possible.
Even though Chris and Gwyneth live their lives in the spotlight, they don’t want that for their kids.
No English TV Shows or Cartoons
Paltrow aims to raise her children, Apple and Moses, to be multilingual. Therefore, she’s enforced a rule that sees the children only watch TV shows in a foreign language.
While some might see this as a bit harsh, it does give the kids an opportunity to learn a different language, which is what the actress wants for her children.
However, Chris Martin adopts a more relaxed approach to what the kids watch and lets them watch whatever they want when spending time with him.
Parenting while living a pretty “normal” life can be hard for A-listers. This is even tougher for celebrities who have to parent in the public eye.
Parenting as a celeb often leads to harsh criticism by those who disagree with the rules that celebrity parents enforce in their homes, and Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to this criticism.
Her unique parenting style has raised a few eyebrows over the years. Let’s take a look at some of the stricter rules that Paltrow has enforced in her home as she raises her children.
We’ll also look at some of the rules that her ex-husband Chris Martin doesn’t agree with.
