It was big news in 2014 when actress Gwyneth Paltrow announced she was “consciously uncoupling” from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The couple was married for 10 years, and parents to daughter Apple, and son Moses.
Speaking about their relationship since, Paltrow has said, “We genuinely wanted our kids to be as unscathed as possible. And we thought, if we could really maintain the family even though we weren’t a couple, that was kind of the goal.”
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr
While he’s now father to a daughter with popstar Katy Perry, actor Orlando Bloom also has a son with supermodel Miranda Kerr. Bloom married Kerr in 2010, son Flynn arrived in 2011, and the couple split in 2013. However, Orlando Bloom maintains that the couple co-parent “really well.”
Likewise, Miranda Kerr’s husband, Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, agrees that their arrangement is all about Flynn. He has said, “I am in no way a replacement for Flynn’s dad. I feel like [I’m part of] Team Flynn.”
Drake and Sophie Brussaux
Canadian rapper Drake eventually admitted he had a son after rapper Pusha T released a diss track about the subject. Incredibly, the song revealed both the child and the mother’s name. Eventually, the celeb admitted that Adonis was his son, and that French painter and former model Sophie Brussaux was the mom.
Now, Drake is a gushing parent. He and Brussaux share custody of little Adonis, and both reside in Toronto. Of course, this means that there are lots of family members around to help!
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale
English musician Gavin Rossdale was one of those Hollywood men who cheated on their wife with the nanny. Following that, the Bush guitarist and Gwen Stefani had to figure out how to co-parent their three sons — Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
In 2019, Rossdale commented, “You know, we both manage to feed them and get them to school on time, more or less!” However, during lockdowns, the musician did comment that “it’s a real big dilemma for parents and kids with split custody.”
In Hollywood, there are plenty of marriages that don’t make it. That means that lots of celebs have to figure out co-parenting, despite their potential issues with their other half. The celebrities on this list have figured out co-parenting, even if they don’t get along. Check out the celeb couples that are crushing co-parenting!
