Are they still dating or have they simply discovered a long coveted formula for “happily separated”? It’s hard for anyone outside their inner circle to know for sure what is actually going on between the two, but Gwyneth and Chris seem to know something other celebrities don’t.

In late March, the A-list actress and her rock star hubby announced that they were ending their marriage, which came as a shock to many fans given the fact that their relationship never seemed to make negative headlines and neither side was ever spotted straying.

The D-word was never used and there weren’t any allegations of abuse. So, what is really going on?

The former couple acquainted us with the cryptic phrase “conscious uncoupling.” What this actually means has never been entirely clarified, however it is certainly not related to the sheer pain and mutual bad blood that some splitting couples go through when things fall apart.

To make matters even more mysterious, the couple was spotted on several occasions after the supposed separation, and they seemed happier than ever. Gwyneth, Chris and their children Moses and Apple traveled to the Bahamas as a family unit. They were pictured by fellow diners in Malibu giggling over lunch before being spotted at dinner the following day.

Then, on April 9, Gwyneth posted an Instagram photo of her hugging her son Moses and wished him a happy eighth birthday. Along with wearing a big grin on her boy’s big day, she was also wearing her wedding ring, an item you don’t usually hold onto after your marriage falls apart.

So, whether they found a way to make things work after they stopped being a unit, or they just wanted some media attention, we cannot know for sure. But we certainly salute their strong relationship and wait for more news on the happily divorced couple.
