You probably remember that, when Gwyneth and Chris revealed they were calling it quits in 2014 after more than 10 years together, the pair put out a statement that referred to their split as a “conscious uncoupling.” The choice of words caused quite a stir online and<\/i> IRL.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI was supposed to do a movie at one point, and it was like right after the conscious uncoupling thing with Chris, and there was a lot of harsh stuff in the press,\u201d she said. \u201cI think the distributor was like, this might be too hot to touch.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cSo that was great because I was getting a divorce and then I got fired off. So it was so awesome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Gwyneth went on to offer some understanding toward her detractors at the time (although, for the record, as someone who was a fully grown adult when she and Chris made the announcement, I didn’t really see what the big deal was).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cSay you had had a really nasty divorce, or your parents had had a really nasty divorce,” she explained. “And then you hear this idea that like, it doesn’t have to be done this way. I think the implicit learning is like, ‘Oh, fuck. Like, they’re saying I did something wrong.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
