It's been a busy week for the Hollywood actress, who was one of the VIP guests at her pal Michael Kors' Regent Street shop opening on Wednesday.

During her stint on-stage, Gwyneth explained how she achieved the impossible - keeping love in a relationship where there's no longer romance.

The Avengers star spoke candidly about her close bond with ex-husband Chris Martin during her discussion with HardTalk's Stephen Sakur.

'My children know that we're in a loving family,' she said. 'And I adore their father even though we're not in a romantic relationship.'

The star discussed the personal sacrifices she'd made for the 'commitment' she's made to protecting their children, Apple, 12, and Moses, 10, during the divorce, which was filed in April 2015.

She continued: 'I'm very proud of us for the way that - as anyone who has been divorced knows - we have had to put aside an awful lot to stay a family for the sake of the children. Sometimes it's quite tough on a personal level.'

The couple famously announced their separation - or conscious uncoupling - in March 2014 after 10 years and she now admits that putting it on Gwyneth's website Goop was an act of damage control.

'I felt that it was a way of controlling scrutiny. It was such a difficult time in our lives and I think we thought that if we put it on our own platform, it was a way of controlling it.'
