Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up about the positive relationship she has with her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

The Hollywood actor famously “consciously uncoupled” from Martin in 2014 after 11 years of marriage. They have two children together: Apple, 17, and Moses, 15.

“He’s like my brother,” Paltrow told Shop Today with Jill Martin, via Vanity Fair. “You know, he’s my family. I love him.”

She continued: “I’m so grateful to him for giving me these kids. It worked out well... you know, it really did, I have to say.”

Paltrow told Anna Faris on her podcast in March that she had previously “never wanted to get divorced”.

However, she added: “I have learned more about myself through that process than I could have imagined.”

“And because I focused on accountability, I was then able to find the most amazing man and build something that I’ve never had before with Brad [Falchuk], my husband.”

Paltrow married Falchuk, a TV writer, director and producer known for his work on Pose, Glee, and American Horror Story, in 2018. Martin is in a relationship with Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson.

Martin recently released a new single with Coldplay, “Higher Power”, ahead of their next album.
