The Iron Man actress married Coldplay singer Chris Martin in 2003 and their busy schedules as successful stars and the pressures of fame mean they have to work hard at their relationship. “Chris and I have our ups and downs – a long relationship takes a lot of twists and turns,” she said. “We both have a lot going on so we just have to make it work.”
The Oscar-winning actress insists she and the Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall singer keep their marriage on track by being open with each other and being as “normal” as possible. “I am very happy to support anything that Chris is doing and vice versa. ‘I think the reason it’s worked so far is because we are very open with each other and communicate well,” she added. “I think in many ways I’m a traditional wife. I believe that I have a responsibility to make a home and protect my family.”
The 38-year-old screen beauty — who is also taking her first steps as a singer — also revealed the London home she shares with Chris, 34, has a “wonderful garden and a little vegetable patch and a swing”, and she likes nothing more than being in the kitchen.
