Is Gwyneth Paltrow married and who has she dated in the past?

Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the biggest names in Hollywood, arguably being best known for playing Pepper Potts in the Iron Man films.

Now she is the creator of the Goop brand, an online store that sells wellness and lifestyle products.

The actress gave her fans a special insight into the organisation in Netflix ’s The Goop Lab, a docu-series about her wellness empire.

She is now celebrating her 50th birthday with her husband at her side, though it isn't the actress's first marriage.

Having tied the knot twice and been romantically linked to some major names over the years, here is everything you need to know about her relationship history.

Gwyneth is married to television writer, producer and director Brad Falchuk.

The 51-year-old writer is best known for an eclectic mix of content including Glee, American Horror Story and Scream Queens.

In fact, it was actually on the set of Glee where he and Gwyneth originally met back in 2010.

She came a cameo appearance on the musical series, but it wasn’t for another five years when the two officially started dating.

They have been an item since 2015 and announced their engagement three years later in 2018.

They tied the knot the very same year in the Hamptons, New York.

Gwyneth’s first husband was Chris Martin, the lead singer of the UK band Coldplay.

The group were originally called Pectoralz when he formed the band in 1996 while attending University College London.

It was renamed to Coldplay two years later and in 2000 they became one of the biggest bands in the world with the release of the song Yellow.

Chris and Gwyneth met backstage at one of Coldplay’s concerts in 2002, just three weeks after the death of her father, Bruce Paltrow.

They married a year later and share two children together, Apple and Moses, who were born in 2004 and 2006.

Gwyneth and Chris announced their "conscious uncoupling" after 10 years of marriage in 2014 but have remained close ever since.

Who else has Gwyneth Paltrow dated?

Before Chris, Gwyneth previously dated fellow actor Luke Wilson after the pair met during the filming of Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums, though it only lasted a year.

Between the years of 1997 and 2000, Gwyneth dated former Batman star Ben Affleck in an on-again, off-again relationship.

During that time, they starred together in two movies, Best Picture winner Shakespeare In Love and Bounce, in both of which they played lovers.

In 1994, Gwyneth met Brad Pitt when they were filming David Fincher’s dark thriller Se7en.

In 1996, Brad even proposed to her but just seven months later, the engagement was called off and their relationship ended in 1997.

During an interview with Howard Stern, Gwyneth said: "I definitely fell in love with him. He was so gorgeous and sweet. I mean, he was Brad Pitt!

"My father was devastated [when we split]. I was such a kid; I was 22 when we met. It's taken me until 40 to get my head out of my ass.

“You can't make that decision when you're 22 years old... I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me."
