Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Martin love to eat: They ‘pig out & work it off’

Jennifer Lawrence

I’ve resigned myself to the thought of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin in a relationship. I’m not thrilled about it. It seems like a temporary thing. Jennifer is probably enamored at the thought of dating a global phenom who’s as famous as she is. People fawn all over her all the time, and now she’s fawning over someone else. I get the impression that Nick Hoult was always fading into the background of their relationship. JLaw must have loved him, but her presence is so overpowering. Chris may not be “good enough” for JLaw, but they sit at about the same fame level.

This week’s issue of Star lays it on thick. Their story holds that Chris is crazy about JLaw. He’s super worried that he needs to stay extra hot to keep her, so he’s working out like crazy. Yet he loves that Jennifer loves to eat, and they gorge themselves together on pizza and junk food. This means that he has to go work out even more. No problem! They’re both hitting a private gym to “work it off.” As if you needed a visual image of Chris and Jen “hitting it” to work it off. I’m so sorry:

“[Chris and Jen are] having a blast, says a source close tot he couple, while an insider tells Star exclusively, “What attracted Chris to Jennifer is her self-confidence and sense of humor. She’s easygoing and hilarious and marches to the beat of her own drum. She reminds him of a young, spunky version of Gwyneth!”

Jennifer, 24, and Chris, 37, first met while Coldplay was working on some music for 2013’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The two were flirty, but the timing wasn’t right — until Jennifer split with her boyfriend.

Sparks once again flew when a newly single Chris invited Jennifer to an after party for a Coldplay concert in London on July 1. “They sat and talked for two hours, laughing and leaning in toward one another. Jennifer was practically sitting n Chris’ lap!” says a witness. “Both of them played it cool, but this time there was nothing holding them back. They were flirting a lot!”

The pair next met up in New York on Aug. 8, when Jennifer took a helicopter into Manhattan to spend a few days at Chris’ rental home in the Hamptons, and the two have been inseparable ever since. After a decade of marriage to domineering Gwyneth [Paltrow], Chris is elated to have a low-maintenance girlfriend.

“Chris is used to someone always telling him what to do, where to go, what to say, how to dress, what to eat,” says an insider. “But with Jennifer, it’s completely different. She is totally go-with-the-flow, and Chris loves that about her.”

Chris may claim he is reluctat to jump into a nother relationship, but he is having the time of his life. “Chris is saying its not serious, but his actions tell a different story,” an insider tells Star. “He spends every possible minute he can with Jennifer at a superprivate love next in L.A.”

The pair have gone above and beyond to avoid being photographed together, hiding under blankets in the back of SUVs when they rendezvous, then staying mostly inside, where they watch movies and eat pizza. “They pig out and then work it off at their private gym,” says a source. “Chris wants to be in the best shape of his life for Jennifer. He knows he’s competing with guys half his age for her attention.”

Chris and Jennifer have ventured outside together to go hiking in Malibu — wearing disguises. But they’re getting tired of sneaking around. “They’re working on a plan to go public,” adds the insider. “They’re talking about doing a photo op at a restaurant or on a hike. Whatever it is, it will be very relaxed — just like they are.”

[From Star, print edition, September 1, 2014]

A planned photo op? Sounds good. My kingdom for a picture. Otherwise, this story revels in catty details similar to the anti-Goop justification. Does Chris really think that JLaw is a younger version of Gwyneth Paltrow? I doubt it. Jennifer loves to joke about poop and fart on people. Goop can only poop with the help of Goop-branded colon cleanses. They’re so different in this important way, and that’s only the beginning. What did I just say? I mean that Goop seems really restrictive in her ways, and Jennifer is like a carefree, screaming banshee. Oh, never mind.

Goop has weighed in on the relationship via Us Weekly. A source says, “Her take is, ‘Hey, he could do worse. She just wants him to be happy.” Well played, Goop.

Here’s a random rumor. Quentin Tarantino has launched The Hateful Eight into production hell (it has a a poster already). Remember how the script leaked, and QT got depressed and cancelled the movie? Then he sued Gawker, which was a huge mess. QT has changed his mind about making the film. He’s in high casting gear, and word on the internet is that he very badly wants to cast JLaw. Jennifer’s rep show down this gossip, according to this tweet from The Wrap’s Jeff Sneider.

Too bad? I adore both Quentin and JLaw, but I can’t imagine both of them in the same room. Let alone on the same film set. We shall see.

    That picture of him in the gray pants is a little much.

    • krastins says:

      looks like he is smuggling a muffin

    • Kiddo says:

      You know, I had to laugh because I suspect all the too-small clothes are intended to give off the me-sexy-hulking-out-of-my-clohes vibe and ahlookahereatmypackage, and yet, that complete outfit reminds me of toddler sportywear with diapers. I have no hate for Chris, nor Gwyneth (sp?), just to be clear. But she tends to find men who don’t like to buy clothes in their size.

    • MonicaQ says:

      His um…jumblies are sitting a bit out there.

    • Liv says:

      If he ever complains about Goop styling him, just show him this picture. Ugh.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      No one wants to see that crap.

      Nothing annoys me more than when I’m on the train and some dude is standing in front of me, visually assaulting me with his mooseknuckle. Yes, I know, I know, just look away, but you’d be surprised at how difficult it is to look anywhere except straight-ahead on a crowded commuter train.

      These two gross me out for some reason. Like a peanut butter and ham sandwich, I don’t have a problem with either of them separately, but together they form a disgusting combination.

      • Kiddo says:

        LMAO at the entire comment.

      • Maria says:

        Kitten: i hope you say the same thing about women who show cleavage.

      • Liv says:

        I agree so much. I love Jennifer and I find Chris okay, but they are so disgusting as a couple!

      • WTF says:

        HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA
        I too am both drawn to and disgusted by the mooseknuckle. And the worst part is when the offender thinks you are looking because you are interested in him!

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Hilarious and so true!

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        @Maria-When I’m sitting down, the cleavage is far above my sight-line. But I would say the same about camel toe, if that makes you feel any better.

      • Tokin' Rat says:

        Now I want a peanut butter-and-ham sandwich. But I won’t, because it would forever be associated with Martin’s junk.

      • Tammy says:

        I nearly spit out my soup reading this! Thanks for the laugh lol.

      • Bobbiesue says:

        +1,000,000 LOLing big time over here in western mass.

      • sigh((s)) says:

        🙂

      • FLORC says:

        Well, that’s a risk you take when taking a crowded commuter train.
        I have taken that crowded train when in Boston area visiting friends or fam and after a fun night asked a fellow commuter to turn away because he junk was right in my face. He did. We all laughed. Sometimes you can always ask. 🙂 Unless it’s NY. Being on a train in NY is like being in an elevator in England. No one talks.

        To Jlaw and Chris
        We all know this won’t last. I want to say they’ll be a fun couple, but I doubt it. They’ll be typical rebounds having loads of fun. The split will be on good terms

      • Barristerette says:

        ITA, there’s just something about seeing a guy in grape smugglers that doesn’t sit quite right…no pun intended…

      • waq says:

        This made comment made me laugh so hard I snorted. Thank God no one is around! Bwahaha. i agree though, something about these two people together doesn’t seem right.

    • Esmom says:

      Yes when I scrolled to that shot I gagged a little bit. I don’t buy these two as a couple and the story reads like BS to me. It’s like Star decided to find the most anti-Goop celeb they could think of and are just running with this. Maybe it’s true but so far it reads like fiction to me.

      • ella says:

        Totally agree! They’ve been dating for 10 minutes, and they’ve already allegedly established this routine?

        Maybe that’s why celebrity relationships go from 0 to 60 in two seconds… somebody’s writing it for them!

      • Barristerette says:

        Yeah I agree with you guys, they just kind of came out of left field and it makes like zero sense…but whatever, if I were CM I’d probably go find some crazy chick who likes to stuff her face and party. Oh wait…he did, if the gossip about JLaw is true. IDK, it’s like way past the point of an “odd couple” to not-so-believable.

      • huh? says:

        I agree. According to the mysterious sources, they’ve only been texting for a few weeks, and seen each other at the party in London before all this dating in NYC/Hamptons began. But we’re now to believe they’ve already been together enough since then to established a hiking/hiding routine in LA in the last week or so?

        And what’s with the SUV’s? I read an article talking about Lawrence’s frugal lifestyle that she drives some old car she’s had for years or a Volt. Whatever, it’s not an SUV. So now she/they are driving in SUV’s to NOT attract attention?

        How does maybe 2 weeks or less of actually being together equate to “tired of sneaking around”? And because of that, they’re going to do a photo-op. We’re supposed to believe that two celebrities who don’t like making their private lives public are going to go public with their private lives? So then what?…everyone leaves them alone?

        Am I missing something here? Does any of this make sense to anyone?

    • Rusty Machine says:

      And now I can’t look away. At the same time I so badly want to look away. It looks like a Payday in his pants.

    • Bread and Circuses says:

      Oh, that’s just airport crotch. All the fabric and all the bumbly bits start to migrate when you’ve been sitting in plane seat for too many hours.

  2. McCall says:

    so much insider info for a supposed relationship no one has seen any pics of yet.

    • Abbott says:

      Yep. Lot of leaks for a relationship that was kept undercover for as long as it did.

      • FLORC says:

        Abbott
        They’ve been so careful and no one had them on their radar. I didn’t think about it 1st time the news came my way.

        McCall
        Because you haven’t seen pics doesn’t mean the existence is false.

    • Bridget says:

      Someone in their camp is leaking directly to E!. They’re not an outlet that gets random tips like TMZ, and they’re not even the usual outlet to break gossip, so most likely they’re getting it from someone directly.

      • Francis says:

        +1

        Someone in the thread mentioned Huvane is the publicist.
        I took a pr class with him. He handled a few of the E news personalities and had some come to class, so he definitely has a long reach into E.
        From what I gathered in the class he does also handle star-couples.

        He was quite candid in class of how he works to keep his clients on the positive.
        He’s quite astute on working the media.
        Huvane has long ,deep reaches into E from what I gathered, when I had the class w him.
        I’m just wondering out loud?
        Who is Chris Martins PR in US?
        Is/was Gwen’s & Chris’s PR rep Huvane?
        Who is JLAW ‘s pr rep? Is it also Huvane?
        Anyone know? Just curious.

      • qwerty says:

        @Francis

        Huvane is Gwyneth’s publicist.
        JLaw’s publicist (is this the same thing?) acc. to an article from a year ago was Bryna Rifkin.

  3. Abbott says:

    What if this is just one big secret marketing campaign for pizza?

    • Josefa says:

      You know, that actually makes much more sense than these 2 actually dating. And I do find lack of pizza a totally valid reason for a divorce.

    • Bobbiesue says:

      Oh my gosh dying at these spot-on comments.
      Ham + peanutbutter= disgusting
      Pizza=good

  4. BlueJay says:

    Well I guess we will see soon who in the marriage was the one that keep stuff quiet. If now we get lots of news on JLaw and Chris we know where it is coming from (them). Things are really quite about Gwen and brad. So I am thinking that Gwen is the one who is able to keep things quiet and out of the press. Can’t wait to see this mess with Chris and JLaw implode – because it will. And Gwen will have the last laugh.

    • Abbott says:

      Good points, BlueJay. I think Gwyneth may come from the pedigree (probably not the right word) that don’t want their familial issues aired in public. Too gauche for GOOP.

    • JJ says:

      I don’t know, I still think they are a PR couple to distract from whats really going on. If they were for real they would keep things quiet.

    • Bridget says:

      Huvane in Gwyneth’s publicist, and he can lock clients down if he wants to (he is an incredibly powerful publicist and famously withholds his roster of clientsfrom a publication if you go too negative toward a client of his) but his usual style is to leak stories and keep his client in the press periodically.

  5. LB says:

    No one has denied it yet so I guess it’s true. Makes me sad – I really liked her and Nick but they were young. Breakup was inevitable.

    Ah well.

  6. Greata says:

    “… She reminds him of a young, spunky version of Gwyneth!” REALLY!!! STOP SHADING YOUR EX DUDE. What are you sixteen?

    • Liv says:

      Okay, it’s Star, so they probably made it up. But I don’t get why everyone thinks that Goop was the bossy one in their marriage. She probably dictated a lot in their family, but she always seemed to adore and fangirl him. He seemed to be the one who demanded to not be pictured together.

      • jinni says:

        Exactly. They didn’t take pictures on the red carpet because HE didn’t want to do that. He would run away from her if the paps even dared to take a picture of them together because HE didn’t want the public to see them together. She moved to London because that was HIS home base. But we are all supposed to believe that Gwyneth was the one that was running things and poor put upon Chris was some shrinking violet that somehow endured her tyranny for 10 years until he was finally able to free himself? Please, anyone that has ever read any of her interview where she talks about him could see that she bent herself over backwards to accommodate all of his little idiosyncrasies so that his sensitive, artistic temperament would not be ruffled.

        I’m telling you, I never even liked Gwyneth and I still don’t, but I just can’t stand the way everyone is acting like Chris is some poor, little lamb.

      • Jayna says:

        I agree. I’m sure she would have loved his support on the red carpet or at award shows or just talking about her with pride. She moved to another country for him and raised her children there. He left for long periods of touring and she was I’m sure lonely and couldn’t travel with him because of the children so much. I have never doubted that Goop loved him and did a lot to please him.

      • H2O says:

        Yes to all the replies to your comment.

        If he is saying any of this stuff about his ex, he’s redefining himself in my eyes as a major dirtball.

      • Becky1 says:

        @ Liv, @ Jinni, @Jayna, et al-I completely agree. I’m far from a Gwyneth fan but it doesn’t seem fair to portray her as some kind of witch and Chris as a put upon saint. I remember reading an article in The New Yorker about a dinner party Gwyneth threw when she was promoting her first cookbook-it sounded like Chris acted miserable and bratty. I remember thinking that it was really crappy that her husband couldn’t pull it together for a few hours and at least appear to be supportive. I actually felt sorry for Gwyneth a little-I’m sure that had to be embarrassing.

        I also thinks it’s funny how the press likes to promote how easy going JLaw is in contrast to the tightly wound Gwyneth. While I’m sure there’s some truth in the comparison JLaw is only 24. I was a very easy going and up for whatever kind of girl at 24 because I was young with very few responsibilities. While I’m not super type A now I definitely am less easy going today at age 42 than I was at 24. Most people change as they get older-I don’t think it’s fair to compare a 42 year old to someone who’s 24.

      • Gorgonia says:

        I totally agree with everything said here: I’m not a Goop fan (even if I don’t hate her either), but I’m pretty fed up with the “poor Chris, finally he’s free from his Cruella DeMon wife and he can eat whatever he wants”. It starts to be annoying. Besides, I think while Goop supported him, sure he didn’t do the same.

    • Bobbiesue says:

      + a thousad Jinni. Agree completely with everything you said.

    • Jayna says:

      You don’t have to have a lot of common sense to know this is Star Mag and such a silly story was made up to fill some pages. Calm down.

    • FLORC says:

      Geata
      Because it comes in “” quote marks doesn’t mean it’s a verified quote. The Star right away is proof enough this whole article was dreamed up.

      Best thing to adopt is to question all info you get. Verify it through another source of info. If it checks out rant away. Never assume because you’re reading it in a periodical there’s an honest reporter and publisher cross checking what gets printed for more than spelling errors.

  7. SpookySpooks says:

    She is so so so different from Goop, and better than Goop, we get it already. I’m so over this couple and I haven’t even seen a picture of them.
    I’m glad she’s not doing the Tarantino movie.

  8. Eleonor says:

    If I was Chris Martin I would date someone who eats too.

  9. Rae says:

    I thought she didn’t work out…

    • Esmom says:

      At least the story talked about actual working out…when I read the headline I thought where they were going was that they work it off in the bedroom and my sensitive stomach was not ready for those details. Especially after that photo of him in the gray pants.

    • FLORC says:

      She does work out. She’s spoken about this. She goes to the gym to be strong. Not to get thin. Her work outs have been said to contain more TRX, crossfit, and boxing as opposed to more cardio heavy routines. To get fit for roles she is said to stick to the strengthening workouts, but alter her diet. More protein, minimal carbs, and 1 cheat day a week.

      You might be thinking of when she says she hates to work out. She’s said it a few times for different interviews. That’s where the context gets lost. She could be refering to working out as cardio. Not overall.

      Minds out of the gutter people!

  10. eliza says:

    I guess my dislike for Chris Martin might be rooted in the fact he is the twin of this guy I had leasing a rental property of mine who was a hideous human being and animal abuser.

    Lol@ them “pigging out”. Please. What a bunch of hooey just because Paltrow is a food Nazi.

    I hope this dalliance doesn’t last. In my opinion JLaw, who I kind of do like, can do better than Martin. The music alone is a huge turn off.

  11. Birdix says:

    The little I know about Jennifer I’ve read here, and based on that she doesn’t seem the type to appreciate this vaguely misogynistic “new gf is the young, fun, vibrant one while ex-wife is old, cold, and rigid.”

  12. Wilma says:

    Wasn’t he the one who was vegetarian or vegan when he started a relationship with Goop? I’m so tired of all these stories about how Goop is no fun, when for the life of me, I can’t imagine him ever being fun. Starting to agree with the Gallagher brother’s first assessment of Coldplay.

    • eliza says:

      I am in total agreement with you. Martin just based on his constipated lyrics doesn’t seem like he is this barrel of monkeys, fun type.

      I always thought he was a health but too. Now all of a sudden he is this deprived man who’s bitch wife never let him have any fun while eating or playing.

      • Wilma says:

        ‘Health but’ *chuckles* Sorry, my mental age is two.

      • eliza says:

        It was supposed to be nut however auto correct wins again. Lol.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        No “health butt” could be correct, if he did GOOP’s 21-day colon-cleanse.

      • Chris says:

        Yes, my soul screams when Coldplay are even referred to as ‘rockers’. However, I must stand up and say Martin has always, imo, come across in interviews as decent, willing to be open, a little earnest, etc….nothing I could disparage really.
        What amazes me is that he’d want another high profile actor in his life….though a fling’s another thing, and he’s probably gaining much confidence after feeling bad about his marriage ending…..he’s one guy who wouldn’t dust himself down and stride off into glorious freedom easily.

      • Wilma says:

        @Chris I don’t mean to disparage him, because he does seem like a decent person, but a barrel of laughs he is not. And all these articles are playing a bit too much on the Goop as humorless healthnut and ignoring his personality.

      • SpookySpooks says:

        He’s really funny in interviews.

      • Chris says:

        Wilma
        Gosh I truly wasn’t contradicting you! Sorry, badly worded comment. I quite agree, he’s not exactly Eddie Izzard!

      • Jayna says:

        The rag mags are going to run with every angle they can. It helps fill pages.

      • Wilma says:

        @Chris Haha, I just realised that when we snark, it’s still real people we snark about. Your comment was spot on.

      • FLORC says:

        Chris
        Coldplay is rock. Rock is not defined to what the greatest rock bands of all time play. It’s a mutation of rhythm always changing. To put it in a catagory is classifying something without limits.

        And I take issue with Jethro tull being rock. Huge issue with it. It doesn’t make it any less true.

        P.S. If you look back into the true origins of many punk or rock bands that were amazing because they weren’t so manufactured or corporate the results could shock you. We’ve largely been sold an image. And many of these bands did make original music that was only liked far after thei commercial success. Even though the original tunes were out for ages before and during their fame. It’s liked just because it came from them. Not because it’s good.

      • Chris says:

        FLORC
        We’ll just agree to differ on this one, eh? (But I’m not living in the past, and do know that rock’s not dead)

      • FLORC says:

        Chris
        Fair enough. And rock is very much not dead. And you’re not living in the past 🙂
        I hope you ddn’t think those were points I was making.

        It really comes down to opoinion and taste. Although, taste and opinions do not define music theory. Not al rock is likable. It doesn’t make it any less rock.

  13. Jen2 says:

    Why do most of the stories about these two involve food or eating or something along those lines. She is supposed to be the opposite of his soon to be ex wife, but what exactly does she see in him. Seems one sided on the infatuation.

  14. JH says:

    He is not attractive at ALL. I used to LOVE Coldplay, but never thought he was sexy even in the slightest.

    • SpookySpooks says:

      I used to find him very hot in the adorable geeky sort of way, I still think he’s handsome but not as much as before. He’s very funny in interviews so that’s a plus.

    • Senaber says:

      Chris Martin is very charismatic in concert. Coldplay puts on a good show.

  15. En Pointe says:

    Why is he dressed as a ballet dancer at the airport? Gross.

    • Franny Days says:

      Ha. I think he looks like a newspaper boy.

    • FLORC says:

      Whatever is comfy! Or whatever you could pull out from the corner of your suitcase in the bathroom stalls without opening the whole suitcase.
      That’s why I won’t judge peoples traveling clothes. We’ve all been there!

  16. Courtney says:

    Dating a younger version of your wife is gross.

    • Jaded says:

      She’s as far from his wife as I am. Goop is insufferably sanctimonious and pompous – Jennifer likes poop jokes. Goop is rail thin, shapeless and obsessed with organic/macrobiotic/low fat/ eating – Jennifer is shapely, busty and probably lives on burgers, pizza and beer. Goop looks down on the peasants, Jennifer acts like one. All in all, I think we all know why this coupling is happening, Chris is enjoying the complete antithesis of his uncoupled wife.

      • Dany says:

        there was a time when Gwyneth was Hollywood´s golden girl and Oscar winning actress. The old Gwyneth is not the Goop we know today. The couple was together for more than a decade.

        And please stop the bodyshaming. It´s no crime when a woman is “shapeless”

      • Leah says:

        Agree @Dany
        I think Chris just likes to have the trophy it girl on his arm. There was a time Gwyneth was the popular it girl actress.
        Alexa Chung is kind of the fashion it girl.
        Jennifer is the ultimate Hollywood it girl. Chris is a typical not so good looking nerd, that couldn’t get a girl in college ( he famously said he was a virgin long into his 20s) once they get famous and rich they go after the popular girl, the kind of girl that wouldn’t look at them in high school.

      • Jayna says:

        Wow. Shapeless? And Gwyneth was a beauty when he dated her. I guess you haven’t heard Chris talk about what a difficult person he is and removed and has intimacy issues? Plus, I remember hos I felt for her that he wouldn’t even go to events to support his own wife and that was a prerequisite to marriage? He has said he needs to work on his many issues. He took a lot of the blame.

      • Courtney says:

        I think those two women have more in common than either would like to admit, despite the images they try to carefully cultivate. Besides the obvious, of course (American, blonde, Oscar winning actresses).

      • H2O says:

        And when he finally craves a healthy tasty meal prepared for him in his kitchen, it won’t be there.

        When he shows up to pick up the kids, Gwyneth should have an “off limits” sign on the fridge door.

        We’ve had a couple of weeks of this crap. If he’s not saying it, it’s time for a denial.

    • Francis says:

      Exactly, she’s a younger, perhaps more fun, version of his wife.

      When Chris got with Gwen, she had dated and been epnegaged Brad Pitt, the Hollywood A list, she was sought after Hollywood it girl Academy Award winner.

      On some levels(but not all of course) JLAW is a younger version of Gwen.

    Do people in Hollywood ever just casually date somebody? Does everything have to be this huge romance. JLaw sounds like a great woman to date for a while then break up and remain friends with. She seems very cool but I think she would be a little much for the long haul. Just have fun and don’t make long term plans.

  18. GiGi says:

    Oh my god, you guys… something is happening to me. I’m starting to get a tingle for Chris Martin. HELP!!!!

  19. Franny Days says:

    I kinda find them boring to be honest. I do like that she’s dating a musician though and not actor. Every girl should date a guy in a band at least once in their lives.

  20. G says:

    OMG these comments made my morning! Like ‘Smuggling a muffin’ ‘moose knuckle’ and ‘jumblies’!!?? I have tears and can barely breathe. Thank you…you’re all so awesome!

  21. Amanda says:

    What does she see in him? I don’t understand her attraction to him at all. He seems too old and boring for her.

  22. Triple Cardinal says:

    I’m utterly underwhelmed by the both of them.

    Nothing to see here…

    Who doesn’t like to eat ?

    • Kit says:

      I know! Whenever anyone brings her up they’re always going on and on about how she is such a special snowflake because she likes to eat. Uh…so do most people (yes! even people who live in LA!)

      Blows the mind.

      • Leaflet says:

        Right, ha ha.

      • Chris says:

        It’s journalistic, even autobiographical, shorthand for ‘a lust for life’.
        Wasn’t it even in ‘Gone Girl’? About presenting yourself as a keen meat-eater to show the guy you are laid-back and cool, up for anything, no mincing about etc etc.

    • MyCatLoves TV says:

      Seems like the thing is now to portray Chris as a poor starved boy who was only given seaweed and kelp pushed thru the bars of his Goop Cage. Now — free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, I’m free at last — with Jennifer he can eat real food like the rest of us peasants! But I do think it is great that Chris and Jennifer enjoy each others’ company and feel comfortable enough together that they can let it all hang out while they do something wonderful…..eat tasty yummy nom-noms! And the older I get, the more I treasure the joys of eating with my friends. Enjoy yourselves, Chris & Jennifer! Remember when Paltrow told the world about her low bone density many years ago….and she thought maybe it was because of her restrictive diet. But she didn’t change said diet cuz heaven forbid she gain an ounce. So good for Chris as he enjoys the human delight of eating great meals again. And good for him as he does the right thing by getting his body working at the gym. (I have trouble with the going to the gym part…..)

      • lily says:

        I think she was bragging that even her skeleton is skinnier than ours. My apologies to anyone with low bone density that I may have offended.

      • FLORC says:

        Most of what Goop does comes off as bragging. I doubt she’s aware of it anymore.

  24. Leah says:

    This just reads like Martin is having a major midlife crisis. The not so subtle shading of Gwyneth remind me of how Depp and Heard stories used to read.” He feels like she has given him a new lease of life blah blah”. Its pretty pathetic.

  25. truthful says:

    ok, can someone tell me why Chris is a piece of crap??? I thought he was an angel for putting up with yrs of Goop’s crap, her dietary restrictions and low key creeping w/other men.

    I know he’s older than she is but is there something else he did douchey??
    I always felt for him because he looks tormented when he was around GOOP..

    maybe I missed it,w/ school, new marriage and work–I feel like I’ve missed a lot

    meh, its probably just a short fling anyway.
    as long as she is not w/ David Gandy, I’m all for it.

    • maybeiamcrazy says:

      I don’t have a problem with Chris Martin. Actually I liked Coldplay when they were trying to channel Travis and Radiohead and failing miserably. But he chose to marry Goop. Goop was an IT girl then and she wanted HIM. How can a guy who was never able to “keep” a woman before resist? Maybe they moved so fast and later he felt somehow sufficated so Goop introduced him to Hollywood way of marriage or plain simple open marriage. It is a possibility. And they both “cheated”. Chris wasn’t wronged, tormented spouse. I would bet Chris held more power in the marriage actually. I know people hate Goop so they will keep going with it but it is sexist in a way.

      David Gandy? Now that would be a worthy and sensible rebound for J-Law. Hot!

      • Dio says:

        He “chose” to marry her after she said, “I’m pregnant”. Even though it’s both their responsibility she got that way, many men harbor resentment about this.

    • Veronica says:

      Personally, I don’t think it’s so much him as the media’s framing of it is very sexist. She may be weird and elitist, but he’s been known to throw his little snits over celebrity life, too. But she’s taking the majority of the heat over the divorce while newspapers are applauding him for dating a woman who was 14 when his daughter was born. Just saying, I can’t see that narrative working as much to a woman’s benefit if the genders were reversed.

    • Adrien says:

      Because Goop.

    • Bridget says:

      What you’re seeing is the pedulum swinging the other way. People have been sh@tting on GOOP for a while now, and qhen they broke up, the initial consensus was that he must have broken free of that controlling WASP of a wife, portraying his as a long-suffering, put-upon saint, which isn’t a particularly fair description. I’m sure GOOP is hard to live with, and she’s gotten weirder over the last few years, but it’s gross to paint her as the bad guy when Chris has clearly not been perfect either. For one thing, fidelity wasn’t exactly his priority either (see Bosworth, KAte) and for some reason people continually forge that he was the vegetarian/vegan. And he really was a total jerk when it came to supporting his wife’s ventures. He chose to be with her, and she’s the mother of his children, and yet people expect him to sing “ding ding the witch is dead” and its icky.

  26. poppy says:

    omg for a made up story they should have gone much much further.
    he’s competing with guys half his age? what, she’s into teenagers? he’s not even 40.

    seriously, those pants would make me head for the hills if I were her, no matter how wealthy he is.

  27. Lisa says:

    Original.

  28. Chris says:

    Gorge on junk food and then work it off? They might want to count how many calories they’re consuming v how many calories they working off and they’ll probably find that they’re not working it all off.

    • Mrs. Darcy says:

      She’s young, he’s naturally slim, so they probably are going to get away with it (if remotely true), but I get what you mean. One piece of pizza is burned in a standard workout. To me that is not a gorge.

  29. The Wizz says:

    If he’s used to a woman who tells him what to do then that’s who he’ll end up with. People don’t change their “type” that much. This relationship tis a short term one.

  30. TOPgirl says:

    He definitely must feel lucky to get young girls on his train after Gwyneth!

  31. Stef Leppard says:

    Jennifer Lawrence likes to pig out?!? I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!

  32. huh? says:

    Did anyone else catch this? “…Jennifer took a helicopter into Manhattan to spend a few days at Chris’ rental home in the Hamptons.” How can she take a helicopter ride INTO Manhattan when one of those Martin friend sources said she was staying at a hotel IN Manhattan during her time in NYC? And how does a flight INTO Manhattan make someone end up in the Hamptons, which is something like 100 miles away from NYC on the eastern end of Long Island?
