In a surprising turn of events, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin appears to be adopting a dietary approach similar to that of his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. This revelation was shared during an episode of the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast, where Chris Martin openly discussed his unique eating habits. Chris Martin candidly stated, “I don’t have dinner anymore.” The 46-year-old singer revealed that he stops eating at 4 PM—an unconventional lifestyle choice that has sparked curiosity and raised eyebrows. This change is said to have been inspired by a special lunch with legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen, as Martin shared in the podcast episode.

The catalyst for Martin‘s unique eating regimen was a lunch at Bruce Springsteen‘s home. Recounting the experience, Martin said, “I was lucky enough to go over there for lunch the day after we played Philadelphia last year.” It wasn’t just about the timing; Martin also shared details about the meal itself. Despite already adhering to a strict diet, he was impressed by Springsteen‘s fit physique.
Inspired by Bruce Springsteen‘s impressive physical condition and learning from his wife, Patti Scialfa, that the legendary rocker eats only one meal a day, Martin saw it as his “next challenge.” Springsteen‘s disciplined approach to eating left a lasting impression, prompting Martin to adopt a similar routine.
In a light-hearted manner, Chris Martin humorously described his single daily meal as a “flank of buffalo with a steroid sauce.” The singer’s playful tone adds a unique perspective on dietary choices, making his podcast revelation entertaining and thought-provoking.

Interestingly, Chris Martin‘s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, also follows a distinct eating pattern. Known for her commitment to wellness, Paltrow practices intermittent fasting, delaying her first meal until 12 PM. Paltrow, the founder of Goop, shared her dietary habits in the March 13 episode of the “Art of Being Well” podcast. Her meals include bone broth for lunch and a paleo diet-aligned dinner, emphasizing the consumption of vegetables.
Gwyneth Paltrow‘s recent dietary choices have sparked controversy, with critics labeling it a “starvation diet.” Responding to backlash from public figures like Meghan McCain and Tess Holliday, Paltrow defended her choices in an Instagram Story video. The Oscar-winning actress explained that her dietary decisions are driven by her need to manage “very high levels of inflammation” resulting from long COVID-19.
Paltrow explained that her focus on non-inflammatory foods is aimed at improving her health. During an interview while receiving an IV drip, Paltrow emphasized that she feels positively impacted by these health-centric choices.

Amidst criticism, Gwyneth Paltrow clarified that her dietary practices are not intended as universal advice. She emphasized that her choices are based on personal medical tests and may not be suitable for everyone. The “Shakespeare in Love” star conveyed that her approach is specific to her health journey.
During their marriage from 2003 to 2016, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin followed a notably strict diet. Their personal chef, Kate McAloon, revealed that their dietary preferences included avoiding sugars, sweets, and dairy while focusing on a vegetable-centric diet.
Since their “conscious uncoupling” in 2014 and finalizing the divorce in 2015, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have maintained a harmonious co-parenting relationship. Their individual lives have seen significant changes, with Paltrow marrying Brad Falchuk in 2018 and Martin entering a relationship with Dakota Johnson.
Despite the complexities of divorce, public appearances and shared moments between Paltrow and Martin reflect a bond that goes beyond their legal separation. Notably, both attended their daughter Apple’s high school graduation, symbolizing their united front in co-parenting.
