A most beautiful, farty romance is over just as quickly as it began. It’s been four months since Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin started quietly dating, and I can finally pick my jaw up off the curb. What a relief! People says that JLaw broke up with Chris. I was wondering how things have been going for them. She’s been snapping up real estate, and he’s been MIA. Well, he’s had dinner with Gwyneth Paltrow and their kids a lot. It’s commendable how Chris and Goop can peacefully co-parent, but Goop didn’t need to affectionately stroke Chris’ cheek last week. In front of the paparazzi, no less. It would bother me if my boyfriend’s ex did that before they were even legally divorced. So this news is somewhat surprising but still makes sense:
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin have split.
“Jen is the one who broke it off with Chris,” a source tells PEOPLE.
The Oscar-winning actress, 24, and the Grammy-winning Coldplay frontman, 37, were first linked in August, shortly after Lawrence split from her boyfriend, actor Nicholas Hoult.
Following a few quiet date nights at Martin’s Malibu home, the romance seemed to move further into the spotlight on Sept. 19, when Lawrence attended Martin’s performance at the iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas.
A source says the pair were together as recently as Oct. 21, following Martin’s friendly dinner with ex Gwyneth Paltrow.
Reps for the stars haven’t responded to requests for comment.

Soooo. I really never wanted to pit JLaw against Goop. That’s never cool, but I can’t help but wonder if Goop has a (literal) hand in this breakup. Those monogrammed panties were a pretty passive-aggressive move. Jennifer is better off without having to deal with all this drama. JLaw’s grandma will be upset. Jennifer will bounce back. Maybe she’ll get back with Nick Hoult? I’m rooting for them, and I hope JLaw is smashing her Coldplay CDs as we speak. Do people still own CDs? Deleting something from an iTunes library doesn’t feel quite as satisfying.
UPDATE: The Mail says JLaw grew “tired of watching Chris play happy families with Gwyn and was annoyed that he was trying to keep her hidden away.” That’s what happens when you date a married guy with two kids. JLaw can find another dude with far less baggage.

Surprise, surprise. She got to see that being with her crush isn’t as fun as it is in real life. OR, that it was fun. But that’s just it. FUN.
I’m just glad this weird-gross relationship is ovah. What a waste of time with that guy.
Is a woman, dating a married man with two small children, allowed to complain, when the man plays happy family, with his family? Isn’t that what married people with children supposed to do? Even if they eventually divorce, they still need to put on a happy face for their children.
I actually wondered that too (and still don’t know what I think). Couldn’t he play ‘happy family’ with just his children? Just because the divorce isn’t finalized yet, they aren’t together anymore in the “married” sense (living together, being intimate, etc.).
I could see JLaw (or whomever) complaining because IMO, one parent plus his/her children still makes a family. Can’t Chris be “a family” with just his kids? Do they need to keep reuniting all 4 of them? That’s how it will eventually be (separate), so is it bad for the children to start experiencing just being family units of 3 with each of their parents? Am I making sense?
If it were the situation more like Kelly Clarkson’s husband and his ex, where (it sounded like) the entire 2 new families get together and are ALL hanging out, that would be different, and maybe JLaw would feel differently if she were invited to join “the family” outings and dinners…it just seems like Goop wants to keep the 4 of them in tact…but that’s not how it is anymore. (Yes, I’m assuming it’s her pushing for this, not him…don’t ask me why, maybe I’m being sexist…I don’t know…)
And that brings me to my next point…I get that G and C are trying to be consciously uncoupled – or whatever other pretentious word she comes up with – but I just wonder how much of their entire family get togethers have other motivations behind them than just “doing it for the children” (again, see the example of how Kelly Clarkson’s hubby does it).
This! Not a fan of Goop or CM but I do think they are doing a good job with the kids. And if you are dating someone with kids, then you should expect going in that you will always come second and if you can’t handle that, then move on.
I don’t really blame her if he was intent on hiding her away and then is papped with Gwyneth. Those co parenting outings are clearly for show. If he can hide with Jen he can hide with Gwyneth too. He used too so.
On the other hand i am not surprised, he seems too boring for Jen. Maybe dating the singer in her fave band was not all its cracked up to be.
This. I don’t think either of them have even filed for divorce yet.
Maybe he was just tired of fart jokes. Not that I think they talked much ore even met much during this PR fail.
@Leah, unless they were fudging about how long she was dating, it makes perfect sense to more emphases on making his kids happy. A new relationship, that is only two or three months old, verses making young children happy. Now that it is over, it is a good thing, that there are very few pictures of Jen. and Chris. I doubt that it was a real relationship, but if you are dating a married man with kids, you have no rights. Until he is actually divorced, Jen was not the most important person, in Chris’s life.
But was it fun?
The asking of “was it fun?” makes me think of the best Coldplay song he gave away to Natalie entitled FUN where he asks her “didn’t we have fun?”. She didn’t completely massacre the song on her album, but it would have been a hit had CP recorded it. He realized later he made a mistake from a business perspective. But he gave it to her because he wrote it about her/them in 2009; 8 years after their micro-relationship. Remember 2009?? Trouble still lingering in GK PM/CM paradise. Goopy had been sexy-ing it up on the red carpet everywhere in sky-high heels and those two NEVER seen together. Anyway, Goop is the controller but he fantasizes about breaking away from her and romanticizing the past…when things were just FUN. He was probably trying to have FUN with JLaw but too hard with the fam in the picture; helmed by GOOP. You can’t go back…
Damn Gina! If these two couldn’t make it work… well then that make complete sense.
Farewell Martin Lawrence. We barely knew Ye.
I love that you said “damn Gina”, I say that all the time and most people look confused and ask who Gina is, lol.
*confused face* Who’s Gina?
Lol @ Stef Leppard, love that name by the way, it’s from the Martin Lawrence show back in the 90’s, Gina was his girlfriend and he’d say “daaamn Gina” whenever he was frustrated with her, think he said it as a compliment a few times when she came out looking sexy or something too, if I remember correctly!!
Doesn’t every 24 year old dream of happily ever after with a very recently single late-30s dad of 2 with an ex that just wont go away?
Love it Bridget…
You just made us laugh out loud. Thanks!
Ah Bridget, you kidder. I ❤️ u. Lol
Laughing at the “Damn Gina” thanks for bringing it back. You go girl!
“if we can’t be like George and Amal, …just forget it!”
How DO you delete songs off of an iTunes library?
In order to get rid of Coldplay songs you should empty out your computer’s entrails and set it on fire?
CRYING @ “Damn Gina!” Hahahahaha.
Abbott NAILED it
I think Abot might be a hammer in real life.
It took me longer than I’m comfortable admitting to get why you mentioned Martin Lawrence. Damn Gina I understood. But for a small period of time, I was worried actual Martin Lawrence had passed.
Much like Tommy’s job, I ain’t GOT NO brains sometimes.
@Abbott LOLOLOLOLOLOL Best Martin Lawrence comment ever!
Good for her, I wouldn’t want to deal with all that passive aggressive BS either. I like his music but since he married goop and put up with her so long I question his true character. Jennifer seems too down to earth for him.
Good! Girlfriend came to her senses. Too young to be embroiled in the craziness that is Goop & Martin. Who knows when they’ll ever officially uncouple. She got to hook up with her crush. Now, she can move on to other guys or maybe…be single for longer than a season.
Part of me thinks Goop just wanted her out. Goop saw her ex being happy with someone else so she plays nice to him leaving him confused and submissive. Martin didn’t strike me as a guy who can carry remove his junk from Goops purse.
She’s gonna need a bigger FU umbrella now and he is TOTALLY deleting her off WhatsApp
Or maybe that middle-finger umbrella wasn’t meant for the paps after all …
You might be right, Elle…using the press to flip off your ex from across the world, atta girl
I like to think that was for Gwynnie the €vnt. It was reported Jen had it when they were spotted out to a family dinner and Gwyn had her hands all over Chris’s face. The same Gwyn who is seeing the Glee guy and was putting demands on Chris’s relationship from the start. I would shove that umbrella up her….
Goop did that face stroking move on purpose.
I never touched any of my Ex husband’s body parts when we were separated. I was DONE. Didn’t want to give him any hope.
Goop is such a disingenous manipulator. She will not let Chris love anyone else but her.
Lauren
Absolutely agree. You don’t do that without motive at that point. Especially if you also have someone on the side.
She knows how to play him.
She learned a very important life lesson: don’t date a married person.
I know, I know, your best friend’s grandma married a guy who was separated and they lived happily ever after and experienced orgasms every four hours…but in general it’s best to let the legal dust settle, at a minimum.
I’d go one step farther and say it’s best to wait at least a year after the legal dust settles. Give the married person as much time as possible to get over their relationship. And someone as young as Jennifer doesn’t even need to date a person who’s been divorced/has kids.
Agree! That is most prudent. I have divorced and while I thought I was ready to date after a few months I most certainly was not, and I inadvertently hurt someone as a result. Several someones actually. I have apologized but I truly wish I could take it back.
I think that as long as you are true to yourself, then date whenever you’re ready. But a lot of people aren’t that self aware about *why* they want to date so soon after a break up or whatever…….Personally I don’t think I could date a separated person, unless I knew that the ex was someone that wasn’t crazy. Because I do NOT want to get involved in some kind of feud.
Or don’t date somebody that far removed from your age/life experience. A partner with a previous marriage, two kids, and over a decade on you is bringing an entirely different life perspective.
And the emotional dust – when you rebound quickly into a relationship, you’re all kinds of messed up, trying to show your ex that you’re “OK” and a hot item on the dating market. Wrong. You end up choosing people for entirely the wrong reasons – revenge, a boost to your self-esteem, that just doesn’t work. When you break up from a long relationship, especially if you have children, don’t jump into something right away, just take time to be with yourself and figure out what it is you want in a person instead of a quick fix.
She didn’t seem like a woman who was looking to get hitched and have kids NOW. I’ve never heard anything like that in interviews. Probably whatever chemistry they had ran its course. Nothing wrong with that.
YESSSS. Never a good idea to start something until after the divorce. Too much BS.
ALSO: Pretty big age gap, the kid issue, the passive aggressive ex she has to deal with. A lot of messiness.
+1
Honestly I still think he is still hung up on Alexa Chung who wanted nothing to do with him. Based on the things about CM that has been said and how he doesnt like the spotlight I hated the whole in your face thing he was doing when JLaw was going to his concerts. I don’t think that was meant for Goop’s benefit but for Alexa’s.
That said never date a married person. For all intents and purposes those two are still married with two kids to co-parent. I would step away from all of the drama too.
Oh man, the joshifer shippers are going to be extra obnoxious during mockingjay promotion now.
*snorts in a most unladylike manner*
I live in Kentucky, and the Joshifer shippers have an entire armada at the ready. You know, because they’re both from here and all. *eye roll*
Oy.
They have absolutely no chemistry
That’s because he’s gay
So glad this fauxmance is over! So obviously fake.
He admitted to being Bi which is far from being gay!
Real life shipping is so weird to me. Hutcherson seems pretty happy with Claudia, anyway. They make a really cute couple. J. Law could really use a year on her own. She just got out of a four year relationship – be single! Have fun! Enjoy your money and success.
It was never going to last. Why waste time on a couple that we all knew was a rebound for both parties? I’m glad they kept it quiet though. Besides long-term relationship meant conversion to veganism for JLaw. No way she was going for it.
I laughed at your comment, Arya. I could give up many things: soda, processed food–but MEAT. Hell no. It would have to be a ‘eat meat and die’ situation for me to give it up.
It’s a lot easier to give up meat than I think a lot of people realize. I gave up meat and animal products 4-5 years ago and I don’t miss it. Although the first year was the hardest. I still do love the smell of bacon and recognize that an animal died to assist in giving off that wonderful smell.
After admitting that, you’ll have to excuse me while I turn in my hardcore vegan card that requires me to be obnoxious and preachy to anyone that loves meat (never understood that).
Did people really care that much about them as a couple. She will be promoting a movie soon. No questions about Chris. They weren’t seen together really.
I always think that couples that spend so much time trying to hide never work out in the end. And he is still married so there’s that too.
Makes sense…I couldn’t imagine Chris being like the guy she wanted in the Vanity Fair interview, especially after being married to Goop for a decade. I think she fulfilled her teenage fantasy and then got real. Four months seems about right.
That headline sounds very painful. 🙂
Lol yeah I think Goopy “broke it off” a few years back anyway.
Yes… Can I dance now.lol I have never been this happy about a celeb breakup,well comeback to my good grace Jlaw. Now have time for yourself
Or their contract expired since the uproar over her pictures toned down a bit.
And I think her and Goopy are very very similar.
I don’t think there was much uproar over her photos. She owned it and told people they were disgusting for looking at them. All in all, handled pretty well, I thought.
Agreed. Goop and JLaw probably have a lot in common.
Well, this makes total sense- they were both freshly out of recent long term relationships, and four months is about the time where you evaluate whether it’s all worth moving forward with the other person… I couldn’t see how this could possibly be a long-term thing, for the simple fact that his situation is still so messy, and he has clearly (and to his credit, he absolutely should) prioritized his children/family relationship with Goop- I’m sure they had fun while it lasted.
Now the big question- will she get back together with Hoult when they film the new X-Men??
The takeaway from this is: rebound relationships do not last. Hooking up with someone fresh off a break up from a long term relationship is never good business. It’s basically a band aid to cover hurt, sadness and loneliness – an attempt to get over the past. You should allow yourself to grieve the relationship, do some self-examination, then you will be able to move on to someone new. Although there is no firm timeline (mainly because the PR nightmare that would create) I think JLaw and Martin got together quickly. Jen saw he was still into his wife and kids and she decided to pull the plug.
I think J Lawrence is lovely and young and should just take total pleasure in being. Paltrow and Chris … well, to be honest, get on with it and be together you two, enjoy your kids and enjoy your art – you match.

I honestly don’t think this relationship really existed….
You’re not the only one. This seemed faker than Kim Kardashians face
Yeah, I was thinking that their publicists broke it off when the relationship rumors didn’t help either of them.
Yeah, I was still waiting for hard proof they were together, i.e. one photo or a confirmation from one of them, and now they’re “over”.
I realize, given Martin’s Houdini-like paparazzi-evading skills, the lack of proof doesn’t mean anything, but I never quite bought into the idea they were a couple.
I agree, but how is it then Chris that you’re papped continually out with Goop and the kids from LA to the Hamptons? If “stars” want to evade they do, if they want to be photographed they are.
I wouldn’t go that far. She ain’t Taylor Swift.
I don’t see why Jennifer’s PR people would ever agree to that. She’s on top of the world right now. IMHO, dating Chris Martin actually made her look bad. Jennifer is too young to be dealing with a legally separated guy with two kids.
That’s been my thought all along. I sort of feel the PR people were testing the waters to see what the response would be to them and since people weren’t all that enthused they decided to pull the plug.
Right on schedule. Their relationship contract is contract is up just in time for promotion. Nothing to do with Goop at all.
No way her powerful pr people would ever Contract her to a married man with children.
She was dating him through her own choice and now it’s over.
I saw there was a post after the links but I honestly thought it was going to be about Cumberbatch being cast as Dr. Strange! And I’m not even a Cumber fan I just never got this Lawrence Martin thing as something serious.
Usually his roles aren’t confirmed unless he says something
Just shouted down the hall to my husband “JLaw is single again” to which he replied “oh thank god!” I hope she dated someone young and fun next. No more with this old married dudes with kids thing.
Your husband is awesome! I’d love a guy I could celeb gossip with !
I would LOVE to be married to someone who cared about gossip as much as I do- lucky you!
Good for her, he has live a lifetime already. Marriage,two kids,ten years with paltrow they have a connection for life. She’s too young to deal with all of that baggage. Cool the coochey for a while,get to know your self again. Then she can start dating again.
A couple that farts together doesn’t always stay together?
Don’t worry JenLaw we are here for you…America’s Tootin Queen.
Let us all let one rip for Martin Lawrence…here here!
I am glad Jennifer came to her senses. He was too old for her and had too much baggage. Who in their right mind would want to share a life with Gwyneth Paltrow?
Shocking. Grandma Lawrence will be devastated.
I think her “relationship” with Chris was worst for her career than the nude photos leak…..
“It would bother me if my boyfriend’s ex did that before they were even legally divorced.”
I would agree with this, if they did not have children together. Showing affection towards the father of her (the ex) kids is ok with me, it wasn’t a sloppy kiss on the mouth, she stroked his cheek.
No matter what, he’s their dad and that, IMO, supersedes any girlfriend-over-ex rights.
This story has been stupid, this “dating” between these 2, from the beginning so I’m glad it’s finally over.
Paltrow has total control of the “relationship” she has with her husband and he seems to be easily controlled. She apparently cheated, is maybe seeing someone on the side, but he does not have the guts to make a clean break. His insecurity showed up whenever he talked about competing with Brad Pitt—ten years after the fact. He had a beautiful and fun young woman, but could not break off with Paltrow. He strokes his cheek and he folds. Yes, it is good to be nice to your supposed Ex for the sake of the children, but she played him like a piano—“want to see the kids, then I am coming along to be the happy family”. I would have kicked his ass to the curb too if I was the girlfriend he could not show any commitment too. He is clearly not ready to move on and should not have tried. Maybe they will re-couple, but it will be on Paltrow’s timeline, not his. No woman will come near him after this.
I think that dating when legally separated is OK, but all parties need to be on the same page and this couple has more baggage than is in the cargo hold of a jumbo jet!! They have too much to work out first to be with anyone else, it is just not fair.
Couldn’t agree more
Um, yeah Paltrow cheated but that was before her marriage to Martin and she admitted to being a hot mess back with Pitt. Ben Affleck cheated on her and when she got together with Martin and had her kids, her life was very different.
Martin was the one who was rumoured to have cheated on her years ago with Kate Bosworth who was in the inner circle of Paltrow and McCartney. Once rumours came out, she was never to be seen again with them AND she lost the last bit of real fame. No filmcareer and her fashion connections ‘suddenly’ dried up. Then Paltrow started talking about cheating in her interviews and how it’s not a reason to split up. Martin was indeed insecure and everything points to him expressing that by cheating on his ‘perfect’ wife.
Why shouldn’t she date somebody else then or have her own sidepiece? Martin never supported her in public and when he did, it was clearly not his cup of tea to put it mildly. He’s a douche. As for their ‘dates’. They have been pictured together without the kids too (check Twitter). Clearly, they enjoy each other’s company. You can’t ‘move on’ from your family, she will always be the mother of his kids and his kids are well…his kids. Why should he invest time in a girl straight off the bat? You date a bit first to see if it works, Jlaw and Martin didn’t work (surprise). She was foolish to expect anything serious of him that quick. She needs more experience.
Also, his relationship with Lawrence seemed more public than Paltrow’s with Falchuk even though they are both very private. If they want a divorce, then they should get one to avoid situations like these. It seems like they are BOTH postponing the inevitable.
The cheating I am referring to is the new “Brad” not the old one who she also cheated on, with Affleck I think. That is when she was married to Martin, not before. All of the “behind closed door” stuff that is circulating now. The rest, I could care less about. It is just a big ole mess and Martin is a wimp.
Bring on the Lawsworth promo tour for Mockingjay! Or even better, get together with Bradley during Award Season 2015!
Sorry for real-life shipping you Jen, I promise it’s only because I’m a fan 😀
Hey, I wanted a prolonged drama-filled break up! Just breaking up is no fun.
Oh course this was never going to last. She’s 24 and on top of the world. I’ve been there. She was just toying with him. In a couple of years she won’t even remember his name.
Eh…if she was toying with him, it wasn’t really to her benefit. I saw him getting a lot more out of that than her. I suspect it’s very likely that realization might have factored into it as much as the separation drama between he and Paltrow.
Oh no, I don’t think this was about any benefit. She was just hanging out with a rock dude and travelling around for a couple of months between jobs. And now she’s not. Paltrow isn’t even in the formula. She doesn’t even exist in Jen’s world and neither does Chris really. Bu- bye.
Okay. :). I guess “toying” struck me as having as manipulative connotation to it, so I was a little confused. I don’t think Paltrow was on her radar but not necessarily off the map, either; if anything, I think it served more as a reminder to not see it as anything but a fling.
Eh, they’ll be back together after the Mockingjay promotions. Remember the time she “split up” with Hoult during the Silver Lining Playlist promo? Whatever. No one is convinced that they were dating anyway.
Oh thank God. Better for her to wake up now and see what she was walking into than before it got really serious. Or maybe she woke up and realized she was 24 and WTF was she thinking.
I fully believe Paltrow had a hand in this, and HOLY SHIT was that beautiful to watch. Her bitch game has left me duly impressed.
JLaw can certainly do better than a guy who dresses like a big toddler.
Gwen’s the bomb. She controls everyone in her sphere. Poor Jen didn’t have a chance around her.
@Blueejay: Umm, no. I think Jennifer Lawrence came to her senses and realized she wanted no part of the weirdness anymore. Paltrow can split up a marriage (Falchucks’ her own, etc.,) and fool around, boss her dopey husband around, etc., however, when her husband starts dating the hottest actress in HWood, younger, far more talented, prettier, etc., that’s when Paltrow starts to get jealous and crazy. Goop can do whatever she wants but her husband can’t. Crazy woman.
Goop is never letting him go completely. She will stake a claim on him every single time he dates somebody more than twice. He’ll put up with it, half for the kid’s sake, and half because it feeds his ego, and women will continue to date him and feel like a third wheel in his life.
She is well rid of him.
Thank goodness! He’s gross! What was she thinking?
Lol, guess Martin got what he wanted and moved on.
I’m just happy that Kitten doesn’t have to eat anymore peanut butter & ham sandwiches.
*anymore
Gwenyth Paltrow knows what she’s doing. She is the queen. She ate Jennifer up and spit her out. No one messes with her and I am impressed.
I’m not even a GP fan but I have to give her credit.
LOL, I doubt Goop cared much beyond Apple and Moses discovering JLaw’s nudes all over the internet.
I can’t really stand JLaw anymore. Also the need to brag about who broke it off first is so petty and childish.
Agree. It’s like I broke it off, so I won. Pathetic.
Goop is one crazy ass wench. Jennifer Lawrence is finally free of the milquetoast Martin and that witch Paltrow. If it’s possible, Paltrow is getting even more hate now. Lawrence dodged a bullet. Good for her.
@Halo: I believe Goop was jealous of him moving on so quickly with her, but that’s it. She knew where he came from, newly divorced with two kids, so she should have know better and not blame him after. I think she’s really immature.
Does this mean Xmas with the relatives is off?
Thank God she came to her senses!
And Goop is really a mean and controlling person, non? A year ago I thought she was harmless. How naive…
Honestly, I think Goop is nutty. I do believe they were dating but I never thought it was serious.
Jennifer Lawrence has the world on a string so, I’m guessing she will move on quickly. Apparently, some photogs snapped pictures of her yesterday afternoon and asked how she was doing…her reply?: “Relieved” while flashing a big smile.. Ha!. Go Jennifer!.
If she really had a problem with Chris “playing family” then JLaw is an immature idiot (more than i thought). Children and their needs always come first.
I think the “playing family” means going everywhere not only with your kids but with your ex (who you are still married to) playing in front of the paparazzi even having caressing face and all. He obviously needs time with his kids but since the begining of this uncoupling mess they have been doing that so the world can see it and it’s unecessary. You need to spend time with your family not sharing with the world and considering how private he always was with Goop and his family this new media game of happy uncoupling was pathetic especially if you have a new girlfriend who is very famous and you are hiding her. The immature one was Chris. If he wants to move on he need to file for divorce first. You can’t expect your new girlfriend will accept you never get the damn divorce and go to dinner with your wife and being super friendly in front of the paparazzi all the time and don’t get dumped.
Agree, Anna. Said it upthread if he can hide Jen there was no need for these very public outings with Gwyneth. He used to go out of his way to not be photographed with Gwyneth too. He can do it if he wants, so obviously he doesnt want those outings to be private.
Maybe not so much an idiot, just immature. She’s 24 and doesn’t have any kids of her own. It’s impossible to understand the baggage involved in breaking away from a highly involved relationship unless you’ve been there yourself.
I wonder how control freaky HE is. If he played that same obsessed with not being photographed together thing he did with goop, maybe Jennifer kicked him to the curb for “hiding her away”
don’t mean to sound like the morality police, but I’m not sure why both of them (G&C) couldn’t wait until they were officially divorced before dating other people. I would think it would be less confusing for the kids that way.
I agree – not only for the kids, but for themselves too. Why rush? Why not adjust to being apart? Though if you believe the rumors, they were both “dating” other people long before the marriage ended.
well good that we had at least those couple of pictures of them leaving a private jet. otherwise i would have never believed it before it was all over.
She can smash my Coldplay CDs along with her own.
What was so wrong with a little rebound relationship for the both of them? It ran its course and it’s over. Some of you are so dramatic about it, it’s hilarious. Who here hasn’t had a rebound, hell even a one night stand after a break up?
So much this. I couldn’t stop laughing reading the comments, why is everyone so damn serious about this? They dated a little and it ended. People are acting like they were about to get married or something.
I’m glad it’s not just me then. I get that people hate Jennifer Lawrence but geez. Give them both a break. I’ve had a few rebounds in my time and guess what? They were great and then we moved on! Amazing how that works.
@Brittany: Plus one zillion. Christ, I’ve rebounded myself here and there! LOL!.
Honestly, I find Paltrow incredibly narcissistic, controlling, and well, unbalanced. So, Paltrow can break up a marriage (one that included children), play a role in messing up her own marriage, continue dating Falchuck, but….she won’t let her husband have a relationship with ANYONE except her??.
I think Lawrence saw the writing on the wall and ran like hell away from the insanity. Good for her….God knows Jennifer Lawrence can do better.
I don’t have much of an opinion on GP. Sometimes I like her, other times she just makes me roll my eyes. I’m still not even 100 percent sure I buy this relationship at all. I mean, in this day and age nobody has pictures of them TOGETHER? We’d read about these supposed dates but nobody got a picture? If I was in a restaurant and I saw them ‘canoodling’ you can bet I’d take a picture of that!
I honestly cannot see what the allure of Lawerence is. She’s fairly average looking for a girl her age, at least by hollywood standards. Her personality is quite bland. And her acting is kinda dreadful, at least in the films i’ve seen her in. Are people that sick of Jolie and aniston that they are trying to artificially promote a younger ‘risque’ girl for gossip fodder?
Jojo, I think you’re going to have to accept that you’re in a minority on this one…The media obsession with Lawrence simply reflects the fact that she’s a good-looking 24-year old with a distinctive personality (like it or not) and bundles of genuine acting talent, who has had perhaps the most explosive start to a career in Hollywood history. People want to read about her – and this odd relationship with Martin was tabloid paydirt, in contrast to her previous relationship with Nick Hoult. Well done to her for bailing out, though: it was always going nowhere.
I agree. She is like the not attractive version of Scar Jo. Just boring boring boring and not a great talent.
I think other people just like seeing someone so average become so popular. It makes them feel better about being average.
I agree. Don’t find her attractive at all. Something about her face (probably the nose jobS) puts me off. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” or “to each his own.”
I can understand why J-Law might annoy some people, in the same way that I understand how others think she’s amazing, but I just don’t get how anyone thinks she’s ‘average’. Okay, she may not be a classical bombshell like ScarJo, but she has a rocking body and she isn’t getting all those roles by accident. I love it when people claim that her success is all based on Hollywood selling us a slick PR package – as if they weren’t trying to package and sell wannabe stars every day of the week, usually unsuccessfully.
On the relationship front, she was never going to last with Martin – it had ‘rebound’ written all over it from the beginning.
But the more profound question is:
Were they ever in a romantic relationship or were they just friends who liked and admired each other craft (music and acting).
did the Media spin a story of two casual friends out of control to fit a narrative?
I’m ready for JLaw to date Jude Law. But I guess after Chris, she’ll retire the family man type. As it was mentioned, she can do much better with someone with less “baggage”
Especially as Jude Law is now about to have his fifth baby with some random. That’s CM baggage to the exponential.
I have no comment on the break up because…whatever, but I watched that video of gywneth touching chris martins head, he walks so weird. Maybe its just me but a mans gait is so important when im objectifying them (sue me). Lady hips, I can not.
As women, we have all behaved badly at one time or another. Paltrow and the rest of the world knew exactly what she was doing when stroking Chris in front of the paps. Jennifer was smart enough to get out of there. What happened between Chris and Alexa?
I think it could have worked if he had not been so close with Gweneth. The relationship between those two seems to still be very close, and it’s not everyone who would be comfortable with that kind of thing. Jennifer doesn’t need to deal with two kids and a wife right now…..she needs to be with someone unencumbered, but she knew this when she went into dating him, right??? I think that Chris is probably a good guy, but may be too overly close with Gweneth, which will make it difficult for any other woman to hang in there with him.
He is still madly in love with Alexa and spends time with her whenever he can. She may be or get back with him, hope she does. And although don’t buy that Chris and JLAW were even couple, they were being hyped to be so of course Gwyneth would not let that occur. Chris has lost the only two women he ever loved – Natalie and perhaps Alexa because of Goop’s machinations. Heard he was just with Alexa, his family etc. and when came home really gave it to GOOP – has had it with her dragging out this uncoupling and feels her antics are confusing the kids and are costing him Alexa. Truly he is no where near over with Alexa, is done with GOOPERS, and IMO never even had relationship with JLAW at all. Very sad GP has to ruin his real loves as she cheating on him for years and has been total sham since 2008. He does love those kids thankfully and again have heard he is now even unhappier with GP than ever. He has started to break further from Gwyniee to try to get Alexa back and is sick of GP for sure, and is doing so – told Goop before he went to London and elsewhere recently. Gwyneth is using the kids as pawns, the most despicable thing any one to do if you ask me!
