Chris Martin On Gwyneth Paltrow: She's My Only Serious Relationship

First Posted: 10/16/11 11:25 AM ET Updated: 12/16/11 05:12 AM ET

Gwyneth Paltrow has had her fair share of high-profile relationships -- she famously dated stars like Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt -- but the same can't be said for her husband of almost eight years, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

The British rocker sat down with Anthony Mason from "CBS Sunday Morning" and revealed he really hasn't had any other serious relationships besides the one with Paltrow.

"[That's] right," the Coldplay frontman said when asked if it was true that he's only had one serious relationship. "I'm in it."

When pressed further about his "big leap" into a relationship with a Hollywood actress, Martin laughingly responded.

"It's a big leap? What, from being a loser, to going out with an Oscar winner?" he said, continuing, "It's a giant leap. Let's face it: it's like winning the lottery."

It's a rare occasion for Martin to talk about Paltrow -- the pair keeps their personal life and children, Apple, 7, and Moses, 5, under wraps -- but he recently dished to the Daily Mail about his wife.

‘Well, she’s a good actress. I am biased but I am also right. 'The Royal Tenenbaums' is one of her best performances," he told the UK publication.

And what about Paltrow's recent comments that she "respects" and "admires" people who have had extramartial affairs?

"Right, well, I’m a notorious love rat and I think that’s what she’s going on about," he joked.

But Martin isn't the only one to open up recently. Paltrow also talked about her marriage to the British rocker in the September issue of ELLE.

“Sometimes it’s hard being with someone for a long time. We go through periods that aren’t all rosy. I always say, life is long and you never know what’s going to happen. If, God forbid, we were ever not to be together, I respect him so much as the father of my children. Like, I made such a good choice," she said.

Man I hate this kind of reporting. GP never said that she respects and admires people for having affairs. She was talking about maturing and not judging people and that there are people she respects and admires and looks up to that have had affairs - not that she respects them for having affairs. Geez.

Very refreshing to hear someone speak of their wife that way. That fact that they are both so usually private about their relationship makes it all the more refreshing.

I love that he's not "too cool" to talk about how much he loves his wife.

I can believe his comment. He's a bit of a dork.

Two narcissists: perfect together.

I think they're both great; they are very talented in their respective arts and they don't run around cheating on each other, getting krap faced in public, or bad mouthing other people in their respective careers. In this upside down world maybe there would be less cyber bully comments if they stepped on a dozen different partners to get where they are, did a "private porn" that "allegedly" got on the internet, or got the FBI involved to find out who put nude pics of them from their cell phones out in Cyberspace, and so on... just wondering for those so full of criticism here where you keep your Oscars, Emmy's and Grammys???

This was much different than Gwen's recent interview where she said "marriage isn't always rosy" and "its hard when you've been together so long." It seemed like she was venting a bit. Chris has always kept them private so i always wondered his side of things. He painted a more optimistic picture.

It's refreshing to hear someone being honest about their relationship instead of acting as if everything always a bowl of cherries. Let's face it - relationships can be difficult. It doesn't mean you don't love each other - it just takes work.

But that isn't the same as rushing out and having an affair or admiring people that do. The people I admire are the ones you describe. I thought hers was an idiot "trying to be cool" remark.

They are a great couple. I hope nothing comes between them.

Because I like writing bad comments about people who think this is news and hope that huffinton takes heed.
