Gwyneth Paltrow on Breakup with Chris Martin: I Just Sort of Hit a Wall

Gwyneth Paltrow shows off her amazing body on the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s February 2015 issue, out on newsstands on Tuesday, January 13!

Here’s what the 42-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On her breakup with ex Chris Martin: “There was nothing dramatic or anything. I had built my life on trying to be all things to all people, and I just couldn’t do it anymore, and I really had the sense that I wasn’t allowed to have needs, and I had to prove my specialness or self-worth by doing all this stuff and taking care of everybody else, and I just sort of hit a wall.”

On her current relationship with Chris: “We’ve worked really f–king hard to get to [this] point. But we’re very, very close, and it’s so nice. I feel like it’s, in a way, the relationship we were meant to have.”

On entrepreneurship: “I know what I want to do, and I’m going to do it. I don’t care so much about the men, but I wish that women were slightly more understanding of other women. A lot of women reporters try to pit me against other women doing entrepreneurial things. There’s room for everybody.”
