Chris Martin's Confirmed Rumored Relationships Over the Years
The frontman of Coldplay, Chris Martin, has been with quite a few of the beautiful leading ladies in Hollywood. Most famously, he was married to Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow for well over a decade, and was engaged to beloved actress Dakota Johnson. And as many of you know, he and Johnson sadly broke up after eight years together. A source spoke to The Sun that they broke up for two reasons, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.' But did you know he dated another Oscar-winning actress? Or that he's been linked to quite a few other A-listers? So we put on our detective hats and did some digging, and oh boy, there are a lot of rumors. Not only are we going into all the confirmed relationships Martin has been in, but the rumored ones he's been in (and if they're true or not!) Below, check out Chris Martin's entire dating history! More from SheKnows Chris Martin Just Wore a Telling Accessory Amid First Outing Since Dakota Johnson Split Best of SheKnows 17 Movies & TV Shows That Educate About the History of American Slavery 13 Times Meghan Markle Reminded Us So Much of Princess Diana 24 Times Kate Middleton Perfectly Recreated Princess Diana's Iconic Fashion Before he made it big, Martin dated Lily Sobhani, a British live‑events producer, around the time of Coldplay's debut album Parachutes. Not much else is known about their romance, except for the fact that they dated in the early 2000s. Okay, so back in 2000, it was rumored that collaborators Natalia Imbruglia and Chris Martin dated, and some reports claimed it was 2002. Either way, they allegedly dated pre-Paltrow days, but neither has confirmed or denied the romance. Women's Day claimed that Martin was thinking about her a lot, according to sources who alleged this in 2014. And you know the song 'Shiver' from Coldplay? It was rumored to be about her, but Martin denied that. So put that rumor to rest! Gwyneth Paltrow and Martin were together from 2003 to 2016, and during that time, they welcomed two children named Apple, born in 2004, and Moses, born in 2006. But let's rewind a bit! They first reportedly met backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002, but in 2003, they confirmed in December that they were expecting and got hitched. They eloped in a secret ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif, and were happily married for over a decade. Paltrow and Martin announced their separation in 2014, when Paltrow uploaded a post on the Goop website titled 'Conscious Uncoupling.' 'It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been,' she said. 'We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.' But they are super-close to this day, despite the divorce, which was finalized in 2016. You probably remember those rumors of Kate Bosworth and Martin allegedly having an affair in 2009. But y'all, those were totally rumors! Martin's reps even denied it via Fox News. The Alexa Chung rumors started over a late-night milkshake at Glastonbury in 2013. Eyewitnesses and insiders alleged that it was the beginning of a romance, but a spokesperson for Martin denied the claims. 'They are definitely not dating,' they told The Metro via The Independent. Kylie Minogue and Martin were at the center of dating rumors in 2015, but no dating here! They're actually the best of buddies! 'I was a Coldplay fan from, I mean Millennium. I may have worn out the CD,' Minogue said to UsWeekly, talking about the letter he sent her. 'I was just so, there's a mutual respect and admiration and friendship and love there.' Did you know that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin dated? Because we definitely forgot about this. They reportedly started dating around June 2014 after she went to a Coldplay performance in London. Per People, they split for the first time three months after they were first linked together. However, they got back together soon after, but they broke up for good in Aug 2015. Sources claimed to People, 'He's crazy about Jen but wants to keep his own schedule and be able to do what he wants when he wants to do it.' And sources also claimed Lawrence got 'tired of Chris being so noncommittal.' In 2015, Martin and Annabelle Wallis started dating after they met through mutual friends. 'He has moved on quickly and has been seeing Annabelle Wallis for about a month,' an insider told Us Weekly about the relationship between the singer and the 'Peaky Blinders' actor. 'He visited her while she was filming in Vancouver and really likes her.' They broke up in 2017 due to their crazy scheduling. However, they got back together two months after that in Aug. 'Their crazy work schedules make it difficult to see each other sometimes and they drifted apart. But recently they have been making more of an effort and have decided to give things another shot,' an insider said to The Sun. 'They have a lot of history together and don't want to throw everything away. There are just a few more months left on Coldplay's tour and then they will be able to spend more time together and work around Annabelle's schedule.' But they broke up sometime between then and Oct 2017 when he was spotted with Dakota Johnson. Dakota Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 after being set up by mutual friends. They didn't confirm their relationship until a year later, and they moved in together in 2021. Specifically, they moved into Martin's Malibu mansion in 2021. A year later, he sold it and moved to another home in Malibu. Fun fact: Johnson told SheKnows that her Daddio co-star Sean Penn is one of their celebrity neighbours. In 2018, soon after their romance became public, Harper's Bazaar reported that the two were seen with matching infinity symbol tattoos, with Johnson's on her elbow and Martin's on the inside of his arm. There was a rumor that they briefly broke up in the summer of 2019, but quickly reconciled. While we don't know the exact time they got engaged, many sources claim it was years ago, but the two weren't too eager to set a date. They were plagued with breakup rumors again inthe summer of 2024, as we said previously. Sadly, Martin and Johnson called it quits for good in June 2025. A source spoke to The Sun about what led to their breakup, saying, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.'

Gwyneth Paltrow, Karen Wazen, Hadise And Daniella Rahme Channel Italian Elegance At The Max Mara Resort 2026 Show in Naples
A love letter to Italian style unfolded at the grand La Reggia di Caserta It's not often that everyone gets a front row seat at a fashion show. But then, no other brand has ever unveiled their latest collection at the Baroque Reggia di Caserta palace. The majestic space – with a grand hallway so long that every A-lister, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Paris and Nicky Hilton, Alexa Chung and Lee Sung-Kyung plus regional names like actress Daniella Rahme, Turkish singer Hadise and Karen Wazen, got a prime perch alongside the world's press – saw models glide down marble staircases and stride confidently in a collection that was inspired by bella figura, channeling the elegance of vintage Italian film. The opulent setting, a former home of Queen Mara Carolina – Maria Antoinette's sister – is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and proved to be the perfect backdrop for an iconic catwalk show. 'The first thought I had was that this was the collection that would mark the opening of our 75 th year. I wanted to look at the history of the brand, and the history of Italian fashion which I think is quite unique and distinct from the fashion of any other country in the world. It is really telling that you talk about Italian fashion today as a thing. Italian fashion, Italian style – we don't do that with any other country,' Max Mara Creative Director Ian Griffiths explained exclusively to Bazaar Arabia. Cinematic, relaxed elegance was the order of the day. Crystal-studded gowns, high-waisted short-suits with relaxed blazers, sensual slips, bustiers and bralettes, teamed with chic but eminently wearable loafers and editorial over-the-knee boots elicited non-stop applause from the appreciative audience. 'I know that sometimes you think my inspiration is from the past but I live in the present day and I want everything we do to be completely contemporary,' Ian continued. 'The reason why I use images form the past so much is because I think that when something has happened, we can really understand it. Contemporary culture is harder to get your head around because it is still happening. When I look at the films from the '50s, I get a very strong and clear message that I can interpret and I can translate into something contemporary for today.' The designer cited celluloid classics like Riso Amaro – a movie about female workers in a rice field – and Napoli Milionaria as a driving force behind this collection that encapsulated the spirit of effortless Italian style. The label's quintessential Whitney tote – named when the New York Witney Museum of Art opened its doors – is celebrating its tenth anniversary and was seen in a variety of sizes and fabrics, with four new iterations taking to the catwalk. If 2025 was heralded the year of raffia, that sets to continue into the next Resort season too, as a key piece turned out to be a made of the weave, paired with a leather trim. Coats are the hallmark of every Max Mara collection and there were gasps as a high-neck, white belted number came into view. A short, pale pink textured option – one of very few colours seen in the usual neutral, muted Max Mara palette – was another modern silhouette that epitomised easy-to-wear, modern luxury. 'We are always quite muted but there were shots of pink and blue from the Marinella inspiration from the menswear ties – just a tiny little bit of colour,' mused Ian. 'I don't think Max Mara is ever going to break out into riotous colour, but watch this space. Never say never!' He was referring to the fact that the proudly Italian brand partnered with famous Neapolitan tie-maker E. Marinella to provide printed fabrics that were fashioned into silk pyjama sets, shirts and skirts, ensuring that the collection had a strong sense of place. This collection was joyful, playful, fun. 'I think that the way you feel about designing a collection shows in the final product itself; I always feel like it should never be a labour,' Ian told us. 'Clothes should be easy to wear. And if they are easy to wear, they should be easy to design. I am not saying that anyone can do it but there has to be a naturalness, a spontaneity about it. This image of the designer sitting over his desk and racking his or her brain for the newest idea simply never worried me. I always felt the important thing was to provide what is going to make women feel good.' And in that respect, the Max Mara Resort 2026 show undeniably delivered.

How to Master Quiet Luxury in Your Everyday Style — Without Looking Like You're Trying
Sofia Richie Grainge at The 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York, New York. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images) 'Old money' dressing is having a new moment — and it's quieter than ever. With the rise of stealth wealth and the fall of logo mania, quiet luxury has emerged as one of fashion's most aspirational yet elusive trends. From Sofia Richie Grainge's effortlessly chic Instagram looks to Gwyneth Paltrow's court-ready cashmere, the message is clear: if you know, you know. According to Google Trends, in 2023 searches for 'quiet luxury' spiked by 614% over that year — demonstrating how seriously consumers started embracing stealth wealth at this time. Most recently, searches for 'quiet luxury handbags' and 'minimalist high-end fashion' surged by over 60% in the first half of 2025, proving the understated aesthetic is more than just a passing phase. Additionally, overall interest in 'quiet luxury' saw a significant uptick in Q1 2025, aligning with the continued shift toward logo-free, investment dressing. But how do you translate this high-end, low-key aesthetic into your everyday wardrobe without, well, owning a yacht? Here's your ultimate guide to incorporating quiet luxury into your daily style — no trust fund required. First, What Is Quiet Luxury? Quiet luxury isn't just about expensive clothing — it's about taste. Think: neutral tones, high-quality fabrics, clean lines, and timeless silhouettes that whisper status instead of shouting it. Brands like The Row, Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli , and Khaite embody the aesthetic, while high-street brands like COS , Everlane , and Massimo Dutti offer accessible alternatives. Unlike fast fashion, quiet luxury focuses on longevity over logos , prioritizing craftsmanship and fit over flashy trends. It's minimalist, but never boring. It's elevated, but never ostentatious. BERLIN, GERMANY – APRIL 29: Melanie Kroll wearing Jimmy Choo heels, beige ba&sh coat and black leather top, PdPaola earrings, white Tommy Hilfiger jeans and black Furla bag on April 29, 2021 in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by) How to Incorporate Quiet Luxury Into Your Everyday Style 1. Prioritize Fabric Over Flash Luxury begins with touch. Incorporate elevated basics made from natural, premium fabrics like organic cotton, wool, cashmere, silk, and linen. These materials not only feel better, but they also drape and wear beautifully over time. Style Tip: Swap your synthetic sweaters for a lightweight cashmere crewneck, or replace polyester blouses with silk button-downs. You'll feel the difference — and so will everyone else. 2. Neutral Is the New Black Quiet luxury style lives in a neutral palette. Build your wardrobe around shades of ivory, camel, grey, taupe, navy, and muted earth tones . These colors are seasonless, elegant, and endlessly versatile. Over the past 12 months, Pinterest's 'Capsule Wardrobe 2024' board has seen 167,000 searches — many tied to neutral and minimalist aesthetics. And in Spring 2025, boards like 'Neutral Capsule Wardrobe Spring' have maintained steady weekly traffic, confirming long‑term interest in subdued, timeless style. 3. Tailoring Is Your Secret Weapon Even a $50 blazer can look like $500 if it fits like a glove. Quiet luxury is built on clean lines and impeccable tailoring — so consider getting your everyday pieces, like trousers or blazers, altered to your proportions. Style Tip: Look for structured shoulders, nipped-in waists, and tailored pants with sharp pleats. These subtle details elevate your outfit instantly. 4. Invest in Understated Accessories Quiet luxury doesn't mean going without accessories — it means choosing subtle, sculptural, or artisanal pieces over trend-driven ones. Think: a buttery leather crossbody, dainty gold jewelry, or a sleek pair of loafers. Shop Like a Stylist: Look for pieces in materials like real leather, suede, or recycled gold, and avoid large logos or obvious branding. 5. Keep Your Beauty Look Polished But Natural The quiet luxury style aesthetic extends to your hair and makeup. Think polished, not perfect: barely-there foundation, brushed-up brows, clean manicures , and undone hair that still feels intentional. Trend Note: On TikTok, the 'clean look' — sometimes called 'rich girl skin' — is soaring, with the broader 'old money' aesthetic hashtags like #oldmoneyaesthetic topping 320 million views, reflecting a cultural shift toward polished, understated elegance that aligns closely with quiet luxury. 6. Create a Capsule Wardrobe Quiet luxury thrives on repeat wear . A well-edited capsule wardrobe built on high-quality basics means less impulse buying and more intentional styling. Start With: A classic trench coat Crisp white shirts Tailored trousers Loafers or ballet flats A sleek leather tote You don't need a closet full of clothes — you need a few great ones that mix and match seamlessly. 7. Mix High & Low Like a Pro The secret to mastering quiet luxury style on a budget? Mixing investment pieces with elevated essentials from more affordable brands. A $20 Uniqlo tee under a tailored Toteme jacket? Perfection. Insider Tip: Sofia Richie Grainge has been spotted in Mango, and Gwyneth Paltrow frequently styles G. Label with vintage Levi's. LOS ANGELES, CA – NOVEMBER 23: Sofia Richie is seen on November 23, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Rachpoot/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) Final Word: It's About Energy, Not Expense Quiet luxury isn't just a trend — it's a mindset. It's the confidence to wear the same blazer for five years because you love how it fits. It's dressing for yourself, not the algorithm. And yes, it's the grace to look fabulous without making a scene. Because luxury is about desirability and not about price. As style legend Phoebe Philo once said: 'I believe in clothes that are well made and that have longevity.' With a little intention and a lot of editing, your everyday style can whisper volumes — quietly, of course. topics: Quiet Luxury, How to, style guide, fashion tips, style tips

‘Conscious unbossing' is a new term describing how young adults are opting out of the management track
[SINGAPORE] The term 'conscious unbossing' sounds like another made-up buzzword (anyone else remember Gwyneth Paltrow's 'conscious uncoupling'?), but the trend is real. It refers to the workplace movement where more young adults choose not to go down the management path, viewing it as a route with many challenges and little reward. In the past, management was seen as the main path for career advancement. However, this changed post-pandemic, as companies from Meta to HSBC flattened hierarchies to cut costs. With fewer among their ranks, middle managers are being squeezed harder than before, with a lot more pressure and responsibility, but also less upside. Gen Zs, many whom joined the workforce during the pandemic, are taking notes. In a survey by Robert Walters late last year, almost three-quarters of Gen Zs (72 per cent) would rather be individual contributors than middle managers. The top reason? Too much stress for too little reward. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 3 pm Thrive Money, career and life hacks to help young adults stay ahead of the curve. Sign Up Sign Up Meanwhile, a separate survey by marketplace vendor Capterra found that three out of four middle managers were burnt out. 🤔 Do Gen Zs really hate management? But numbers don't tell the full story. So I did what any data-driven reporter would: I ran my own extremely scientific poll of peers and younger contacts. Interestingly, millennials – not Gen Zs – were most resistant to taking on management roles. It tracks, as we are often described as the burnout generation, as we are caught in the middle due to our current life stage. Gen Zs, on the other hand, are a lot more open to the idea. But with some caveats. 'I wouldn't necessarily say Gen Zs don't want to manage,' says Nicole Choo, 27, who is a business development and digital consultant at OpenMinds Singapore. 'I think many of us just want to do things differently… I'm not just looking to 'manage' as I want to build (a team).' She's not a manager currently, but it's something that she is actually keen on. She views management as 'more than just a title' – it's a way to mentor, guide and learn from her team. Inspired by mentors she's had, she's keen to pay it forward, even if it's 'one of the toughest parts of any job scope'. Some of her peers have taken on leadership roles, but others prefer deep craft work – which is perfectly valid too. 'We're becoming clearer on what fulfilment and happiness look like, not just what success traditionally means,' she says. 🔨 Making management work Choo's view injects some nuance to what earlier surveys are saying: Gen Zs aren't rejecting leadership – they're just opposed to outdated management structures and mindsets. It's not authority they want per se, but autonomy, purpose and space to make an impact. So if you're unsure whether management is for you, here are some questions worth asking: Do you like working with people? Management is more about people than KPIs. It's not about being naturally good with people, though – management is a skill you can work at. If you care about your team's growth, you're halfway there. Why do you want to manage? If you think it's the surest path to less work for more pay, boy, do I have news for you. But if you find yourself considering management because you want to level up your skills beyond technical expertise, or take on more responsibility, that's a pretty good sign. Do you enjoy strategy and teamwork? As you move from being an individual contributor to a manager, you are not just handling your own work anymore. Your thinking needs to go beyond your own individual performance to a more macro view of what matters to the company and how your team can position itself for success. How do you feel about being a manager? To be fair, this IS kind of a trick question, but I always believe that your gut feeling is a good gauge. If you're nervous or unsure, that's normal. If you're completely turned off, it might not be the right fit (for now, at least). How do you handle stress? Your employees' problems will now be your problem. And your manager's problems are also your problems. Your staff look to you for support and stability – you can't have a public breakdown whenever it gets hard. You need to know your limits and coping strategies. Will you have a say in the people you lead or how the role is structured? Are you empowered to make changes or shape processes instead of just following what was done before? If your superiors don't want you to rock the boat, consider if this is aligned with your values and what you want out of your job. There are no easy answers to whether one should be a manager. But as a millennial middle manager myself, what I find extremely encouraging is that Gen Zs are rewriting the rules, questioning the old playbook and redefining what leadership can look like. I say that's a win for the future of work. TL;DR

Italian Movie Stars Were the Inspiration For Max Mara's Latest Show
Picture the costumes from iconic movies like La Dolce Vita, Roman Holiday, Napoli Milionaria, or Riso Amaro. That quintessentially effortless style was everywhere in Italian cinema throughout the '50s and '60s, and Max Mara creative director Ian Griffiths set out to capture the same tailored nonchalance for resort 2026. Last night, following a welcome dinner at La Bersagliera in Naples, the brand took to the baroque royal residences just north of the city, Reggia di Caserta, to stage its runway show. And aptly, given the theme, the front row was filled with notable Hollywood guests, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Joey King, Alexa Chung, and Sharon Stone. The scene was one of classic Italian luxury: minimalist yet expressive, with sharply cut headwear that hid the eyes, swingy suits, and contrasting textures. The Max Mara woman was exactly the modern, dandy-ish type that Achille Maramotti was determined to dress upon founding the brand in 1951. True to house aesthetics, the color palette was one of refinement, consisting of easy neutrals, sleek blacks, blush pinks, and a punctuating look of periwinkle and navy blue. The monochromatic shades allowed the details of the clothing to shine through. Shawls and knits were fastened across the waist with subtle jeweled belts, necklines took on a geometric attitude with sharply cut upturned lapels and off-the-shoulder tops, while over-the-knee boots gave micro shorts an editorial flair. And a collaboration with E. Marinella, the Naples tiemaker, on printed silk pieces added some menswear-inspired cred. The ensembles were completed by four new versions of the Whitney bag, including a beachy woven raffia style with contrasting leather trim. The new bag and updated silk scarves from the show are part of Max Mara's see-now buy-now offering, and are available online at Alexandra Hildreth is the Fashion News Editor at ELLE. She is fascinated by style trends, industry news, shake-ups, and The Real Housewives. Previously, she attended the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Following graduation, she moved back to New York City and worked as a freelance journalist and producer.
