Gwyneth Paltrow believes husband Chris Martin was a gift sent from heaven by her late father. The Oscar-winning actress met the Coldplay frontman just weeks after the devastating death of Bruce Paltrow and Gwyneth is convinced her beloved dad had something to do with it.

She told Britain's New!magazine: "My father died and I met my husband three weeks later. So, in a way, it felt like my father was in heaven putting him there in my life, you know?" Meanwhile, Gwyneth admits she broke down in tears while filming new movie 'Iron Man' because she was away from her two children, Apple, four, and two-year-old Moses.

She added: "Some days I'd think, 'Oh, my God, they're in the bath right now and I'm not there.' I'd cry in my trailer! But I realised it's OK for me to want to express that part of myself. It's why I'm here. But I'll never go back to exploiting it the way I did. Never! What I have at home is too precious."
