She explained: "I mean it’s so interesting because in a way my divorce and my relationship with Chris now is better than our marriage was. So I do think that it can be done."
Gwyneth also admitted that while their family set-up looks perfect to the public, co-parenting with Chris is not always "as good as it looks".
"It's like you're ending a marriage but you're still in a family. That's how it will be forever," she candidly admitted.

"Some days it's not as good as it looks. We also have good days and bad days. But I think it's driving towards the same purpose of unity and love and what's best for our kids.
"You take a deep breath and you look the person in the eye and you remember your pact and you smile and you hug and you recommit to this new relationship that you are trying to foster."
