Now, Gwyneth, 38, and Chris, 33, keep their relationship private and are hardly ever photographed together.
While Gwyneth prefers to keep that part of her life secret, she also told E! that she tried to keep her struggles with post-partum depression after her son Moses' birth hidden.
"You don't want anybody to know that you're depressed or crying all the time, " she explained. "There's this shame that we bring to it and it's incredibly debilitating and scary and you just don't feel like yourself."
