Report: Gwyneth Paltrow And Chris Martin Were In An "Open" Marriage

 

Before Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin "consciously uncoupled" -- there were signs of strife. A new report claims that the power couple were in an "open" relationship at times during their 10-year marriage.

"They were physically separated and emotionally," a Paltrow insider told People magazine.

A close friend of the Oscar-winning actress also told the mag: "They have been on and off for many years. The marriage was falling apart."

What caused the rift between the lanky blondes? Personality conflicts and distance are said to be the reason behind the marital troubles. Some reports have cited Gwyneth's strict dietary rules as a constant source of conflict. One friend said that, "[Chris] is the kind of person who is always in a T-shirt." The friend added, "She's much more glam."

You say "glam" -- we say "high maintenance"!

The couple, who have a 9-year-old daughter, Apple, and soon-to-be 8-year-old son, Moses, were married on December 5, 2003, in a ceremony at a hotel in Santa Barbara.
