Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin’s Split Caused By Coldplay Frontman’s “Friendship” With Alexa Chung? Dad Anthony Martin “Sad” For His Grandchildren

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's split was reportedly caused by the Coldplay frontman's friendship with British TV host Alexa Chung, as the "Iron Man 3" actress' father-in-law expressed pity for his grandchildren.

Chris Martin and Alexa Chung have been reported to be seen in different events by the British tabloids. MailOnline has traced Jessica Goldsack who claimed to have served Chris Martin and Alexa Chung Oreo milkshakes together during the June Glastonbury music festival in the UK.

"They turned up together at around 3 or 4 a.m.," she said. "They looked like they were just chilling and having a good time. I did find it a little odd that they were together - but we had a little chat and they wandered off after they asked us if we knew of any good places to go and have a few drinks."

The waitress then asked for a photograph with the two. She then proceeded to have her picture taken with Chris Martin and Alex Chung separately.

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's split shocked the entertainment world especially since there was no sign of trouble before the formal announcement.

Meanwhile, Chris Martin's father, Anthony, told The Mirror that hearing about the divorce was both sad and upsetting.

"If you are married you know you have good days and bad days. We all have our ups and downs. It is sad because there are our two grandchildren. But it is all very amicable between them."

A statement posted on the actress' website formalized Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's split.

"It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate," the statement read.

An earlier statement announcing Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's split said:

"'We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate."

But despite Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's split, Anthony Martin said that he's "very proud of what they have achieved in their lives."
