4. They later had two children; Apple Blythe Alison Martin, born in 2004 and Moses Bruce Anthony Martin born in 2006.
5. Paltrow explained Apple's unique first name on Oprah, saying: "It sounded so sweet and it conjured such a lovely picture for me - you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical - and I just thought it sounded so lovely and ... clean! And I just thought, 'Perfect!'" (Wikipedia)
6. Moses is named after as song that Martin wrote for their wedding day, which appears on Coldplay's Live 2003 album.
7. They announced in March 2014 that they were separating with a process they called 'conscious uncoupling'.
