Chris Martin was a ‘mess’ after uncoupling from Gwyneth Paltrow

Coldplay rocker Chris Martin confessed that he was devastated after splitting from wife Gwyneth Paltrow in 2014.

Martin struggled after he and his wife, who are parents to Apple, 14, and Moses, 12, famously announced they were consciously uncoupling.

Speaking in a new documentary film Coldplay: A Head Full Of Dreams, out in the UAE on Thursday, Martin said while the band toured their album Mylo Xyloto, he felt “completely worthless and nothing to anybody”.

“I was just like, ‘I’m a mess’, really, because I can’t enjoy the great things around me. Then, of course, I went through a break-up with Gwyneth. Listen, I’m never going to moan, I’m grateful for everything, but it was pretty touch and go,” he continued.

Both Martin and Paltrow have moved on. Martin is currently dating Fifty Shades Of Grey actress Dakota Johnson, while Paltrow married American TV director Brad Falchuk in September.
