Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin continue to remain friendly exes, more than three years after their “conscious uncoupling”.

The 45-year-old Oscar-winning actress and 40-year-old Coldplay singer are vacationing with their kids on the Caribbean island of Antigua. Gwyneth Paltrow posted on her Instagram page on Thursday a photo of her ex-husband and their 13-year-old daughter Apple leaping in the air on a beach.

Paltrow and Chris Martin, who also share 11-year-old son Moses, married in 2003 and in 2014, they announced on her Goop blog that they had split, or undergone an “conscious uncoupling.” They finalised a divorce in 2016.

The two have continued to spend time together and have also vacationed together with their kids since their split.

“They always keep it very amicable around the holidays and they have remained good friends,” a source told E! News exclusively. “Gwyneth and Martin try to keep things as normal as possible for their children, and always have a good time together as a family unit. They try to plan at least one family vacation together per year for the sake of the kids. The children are used to the family dynamic now and love when they are all are able to be together.”

“They only want the best for one another and are very supportive,” another source said. “They have moved on from being married into this new phase of their life. Its unconventional, but it works. They made a commitment to always put their kids first and do what’s best for them and that’s exactly what they are doing. That means spending the holidays together, travelling together and being a family. A lot of Gywneth’s divorced friends go to her for advice because she has made this transition looks so easy. She says it’s not easy, but you just do it because you want what’s best for your kids.”
