As for Paltrow, the actress reflected on her divorce from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, of whom she was married to for 13 years. The two share children Apple, 16, and Moses, 14.

\"I really -- for a long time -- was choosing men and trying to work s--- out with them that I had no business trying to do in a romantic relationship. It was work I needed to do myself,\" noted Paltrow. \"In a divorce, I've learned so much from something I wanted least in the world.\"

\"I have learned more about myself through that process than I could have imagined,\" added the 48-year-old Oscar winner, who has since wed producer Brad Falchuk.
