AceShowbiz - Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, once a power couple in Hollywood, have managed to maintain a strong bond even after their "conscious uncoupling" in 2014 and subsequent divorce in 2016. As their children, Apple (20) and Moses (18), embark on their own lives, the exes have reportedly grown closer, providing support and comfort to each other as they navigate their new realities as empty-nesters.

Despite having moved on romantically - Gwyneth is married to Brad Falchuk while Chris engaged to Dakota Johnson - their connection remains unshakable. As one source told In Touch, "They've been through so much together, and now with the kids leaving home, it's brought them even closer."

Rumor has it, the duo constantly reminisces about their past, takes trips down memory lane, and plans holidays together.

This rekindled closeness, however, has not been without its challenges. Dakota Johnson and Brad Falchuk have reportedly felt isolated and insecure as Gwyneth and Chris continue to lean on each other. The same source noted, "It's not that there's anything romantic between them, but their bond is still so strong, at times it overshadows their current relationships.”"

Gwyneth and Chris have essentially adopted the role of each other's therapists, offering advice on everything, including romances, and this intimacy can be daunting for their current partners.

For Dakota, this involvement has been particularly unsettling, especially since Gwyneth has been vocal in planning Chris and Dakota's potential wedding. A second insider revealed, "Dakota likes Gwyneth, but her obsession with them getting married is too much. She's coming up with ideas for the ceremony, color themes, locations, even the guest list. It's exhausting, and one more reason Dakota wants to postpone the wedding."

Brad, on the other hand, while patient and understanding, finds it difficult to see his wife so deeply connected to her ex-husband. As the same insider shared, "Brad's a great guy, but it's got to sting seeing her so wrapped up in her ex."

Adding layer to their complicated relationship, Chris Martin is rumored to have broken up with Dakota Johnson.

Amid the intense scrutiny, Gwyneth and Chris's unique friendship highlights a new kind of post-divorce relationship: one where exes continue to provide unwavering support to each other, navigating new emotional landscapes as a team. For Dakota and Brad, while admiration for this bond is present, the challenge remains in finding their own space and understanding within these intertwined relationships.
