People: Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Martin broke up because he’s ‘so noncommittal’

I decided to bust out the ecstatic vacation photos of Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer because there’s a new development in their friendship. JLaw and Amy are writing a screenplay together! Actually, I’m not sure if this is exciting, but Jennifer was very excited to spill the details to the New York Times. This will be a comedy, and they’ve written 100 pages already. They’ll both star as sisters, which sounds interesting. JLaw said, “Amy and I were creatively made for each other. We have different flavors. It’s been the most fun experience of my life.” These two have only known each other for a few months. JLaw said she emailed Amy after watching Trainwreck and said, “I guess I should just say it: I’m in love with you.

And the rest was history. Much like Jennifer’s relationship with Chris Martin. I mentioned this in passing the other day because I’m so over their on-off thing, but apparently, the Fourth of July rendezvous in NYC was some sort of last-ditch effort. Now they are sooo over for the second (third?) time, and Us Weekly says Chris is already dating someone new. He was spotted on a date with Annabelle Wallis from Peaky Blinders, and they were “were gazing into each others’ eyes and talking intimately.” Mr. Coldplay even put his arm around her, which is an odd display of affection from a guy who ran from cameras whenever he was with Goop.

Us says Chris has been with Annabelle for a month, but People has a different version:

“Chris doesn’t really want the relationship to end, but he needs to be flexible so he can see his family as much as possible with his own work schedule,” says a Martin source. “He’s crazy about Jen but wants to keep his own schedule and be able to do what he wants when he wants to do it.”

According to a Lawrence pal, the Hunger Games actress got “tired of Chris being so noncommittal.”

Both stars have also been busy with their own careers, which may have played a role in the split.

“Jennifer’s been pretty good about sharing Chris with his family, in part because she has been too busy herself to have it become a real problem, but she still wants to see more of him,” says the Martin source. “They still care about each other, so I can’t say the romance is completely over,” says a source close to Lawrence.

[From People]

Hmm. So Team Coldplay told People he wanted to keep seeing JLaw, but her camp said it’s all down to Chris being “noncommittal” and busy with his kids. What did she expect from a father of two?

Oh, and there’s a few more details on the scandalous photo of JLaw and Kris Jenner. Us Weekly says Kris was completely drunk, and she also asked Jennifer out on a date. Don’t worry, they’re only going to see Kanye at the FYF Fest on Sunday. Hmm, that’s the same day as the VMAs. Anyway, JLaw and Kris did karaoke together. I wonder if they sang “Sympathy for the Devil.”

    Schumer and Lawrence must be exhausting to be around.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      So true. And they must burn through crates of Doritos.

    • What was that says:

      Oh exactly how I feel about them!!!

    • lucy2 says:

      Yes! I like Jennifer, but I imagine the two of them together is too much.

    • Ronda says:

      i cant imagine it. but its great that they can be with each other and get less on our nerves.

    • Sam says:

      Trainwreck was sooo disappointing! It wasn’t funny and it was too long. I can only take Amy in small doses. Anyway this is a good career move for both. Hopefully it doesn’t turn out like Sofia and Reese’s Hot Pursuit

    • Carol B says:

      When I hear people saying that it must be exhausting to be around funny girls like Schumacher and Lawrence, I can’t help thinking that they must have an excessively low tolerance level. Personally, I suspect it would be a blast to hung out with them, and it’s great to see female stars who aren’t afraid to be themselves in public.

    • Franca says:

      Amy doesn’t seem that bad.

      • WinnieCoopersMom says:

        Yeah once she gets all the HPV/Yeast Infection/UTI jokes out of her system, she’s probably way more tolerable to be around.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      One long continuous fake New Year’s Eve “we’re having a blast, rotflmao” moment.

    • Naddie says:

      You took the words out of my fingers. They seem to be the most predictable people ever. And just imagine how this comedy might be.

    • Josefa says:

      Yeah, that was my first thought too – and I actually like them.

    • Carla says:

      lol why because they are funny? seriously, i don’t get that always on internet there is people saying would be exausting to hang out with funny people. Have fun is exausting now? jeez. Better than hang out with boring people.

      • danielle says:

        Carla, not because they are funny, because they are loud, their jokes are sometimes borderline rude, and it can be very annoying, at least imo.

      • Lensblury says:

        Carla, I agree with you on that sentiment. I’ll wander off a bit, but my personal opinion is: While I see how it may be exhausting to be with OTT “pretend-funny” people (ETA: I am not saying that’s what Jlaw’s & Amy Schumer’s humor is, but I feel that’s how they are judged sometimes), and while I used to be very bitter about people who seemingly had it easier than I, I’m now getting much softer. I’m thinking, “hey, at least they don’t feel like they have to hide, and at least they don’t feel the need to follow the rules of quiet modesty as I did for so long. Respect, and thanks for helping others break that mold.” I consider this loud attitude a positive thing now. I feel that, as a woman, I still have a long way ahead of me when the things that would not be considered rude or obnoxious coming from a guy are at the same time judged, looked down upon and considered rude & problematic by fellow females when other women do them (sorry, odd sentence… right now I have no idea how to make this sentence shorter whithout changing my message). Which is why I like challenging all of it for my personal gain and freedom. I’m semi-quiet, yet outspoken, and I actually appreciate loud women. I’ve never seen Amy Schumer in anything, and I’m not even a fan of JLaw, but that’s beside the point anyway – I don’t even have to share their humor or their perspectives, I’m just happy about the fact that some women get past a certain point of constraint and have no regrets about it. It’s hard enough as it is anyway.

  2. SKF says:

    I am sooooo excited for this project! I’d love to see J-Law doing a comedy and I think these two will be gold together!

    • Chinoiserie says:

      I think this sounds exciting too, I have been waiting for Jennifer to do a comedy. And it is nice to see two female stars to do a film together, that does not happen so often. I wonder how Jennifer is as screenwriter, I expected her to get into producing but screenwriting is a bit unexpected but interesting.

    • bethbee says:

      on paper it does sound fantastic, I love Amy and Jennifer seems really fun. I just hope this doesn’t have the same fate as Hot Pursuit. yikes.

  3. emma says:

    I hope she doesn’t back with Martin. He wants still with her but makes his thing when he wants do it? He sounds like a douche

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      He sounds like a man who was married for a long time, just got divorced and has two children. (This is why we don’t date them.) He’s probably doing the best he can, but his relationship with his children has to take priority over her for now. I’m not sure how she thought he would be able to spend all of his spare time with her, or be anything but “noncommittal” at this point in his life. He may be a douche – I don’t know, but he’s also trying to adjust to a completely new life of custody arrangements, work, listening to GOOP talk about herself…guy is busy, you know?

      • Liv says:

        I’d say both of you are right. The “He wants to do his thing when he wants to do it”-quote sounds super douchey, but really, what did she expect? Like GNAT says, he’s a father of two.
        What I find embarrassing is that he already has a new girlfriend and her camp wants us to know that the door’s still open.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        “Noncommittal” can also read as “non monogamous” too.

      • Leah says:

        @goodnamesalltaken Its not just about that she shouldn’t date a recently divorced man. Why is he dating the biggest movie star in the wold right now and expect her to fit into his family and work schedule? Does that even make sense? I mean she’s filming back to back and must have limited time to see her significant other in any case. I really don’t think she sits at home anxiously waiting for his calls. Her career is arguably much better than his right now. It sounds more like he wants to do what he wants to do, when he wants to do it. I.e fit things around his schedule. This is just not going to work when you date someone as in demand as JLaw. He should be dating some less successful person that is available to fit her schedule around him. It sounds like he wants his cake and eat it.

      • Annie says:

        I would agree with you except i follow him close enough to know he has time. He has time for his children which he needs to. He has time for his career also important but he also spends a lot of time with Goop which is unnecessary and other friends like K.Hudson, Kylie, etc also not top priority. Not when he has a girlfriend. If you are dating someone you have to make time for that person or don’t be together at all. He never did with Jennifer. He visit her in Boston once for day after she went to meet him in NYC. Now he apparently spent 2 weeks with Annabelle in Vancouver. So yeah, this is a douche attitude. Maybe he isn’t but sure hell looked like one with Jlaw.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        @everybody
        Oh, ok, I don’t follow him, so I’ll take your word for it that he’s jerking her around more than he needs to. I just thought from the article that she was upset that he was trying to meet everyone’s needs – work, kids, ex-wife, friends, her…But it sounds like you all know more about the situation.

    • Kelly says:

      She can do better.

    • LeAnn Stinks says:

      There was a blind item stating that he wanted to her to make more of an effort to fit into his “busy” lifestyle, and she willingly acquiesced, but he did not live not up to his end of the bargain. She also “allegedly” found out he was cheating on her. Lo and behold, he has quickly “moved” on: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/chris-martin-dating-annabelle-wallis-report-article-1.233871

  4. eribra says:

    I clicked the link for already seeing someone new and that doesn’t even look like Annabelle Wallis! I know the styling of the show is somewhat responsible- the actress who plays Polly looks 20 years younger and so light and happy in red carpet shots but Annabelle in the US weekly shot looks like she’s been messing with her face. God I hope not, I really like how pretty she is without looking like a Hollywood clone.

    • German says:

      @ eribra
      she made a nose job. It’s look so different now

    • ican'tsnap says:

      Yeah she totally effed her face with the new nose. She was already a bland actress, so I hope she enjoys now being TOTALLY forgettable.

      She seems perfect for Martin, I gotta say.

  5. holly says:

    I think Martin wants to make jelous Lawrence eith this flirt. Semms he doesn’t want to break up

  6. KNOW-IT-ALL says:

    Finally she sees the light.It was high time she got out of that bagage she is young she does not need someone like Chris.

  7. frederick says:

    He didn’t want to break up so I tink he wants make JLaw jelous

  8. Ronda says:

    oh come on, as if Jennifer Lawrence was sitting at home crying because some random old dude wasnt commiting.

    it was 100% the other way round.

    ridiculous that it must always be the woman who wants to commit, that couldnt be further from the truth. she is an independent and modern woman, she has a career to focus on and wont be slowed down by romance or commitments. just like basically all accomplished women in her generation. romance is far from being the priority. more men nowadays want marriage and see it as more important for happiness than women, the tables have turned and it was about time.

    maybe People is just catering to their older demographic.

    • Green Girl says:

      I agree with you. I initially read the headline here as “She’s noncommittal” and didn’t even bat an eye – she’s a famous actress with a ton of money at the height of her career. Why would she want to step away from that now? So yeah, I was surprised to see this article is about him. And that’s understandable, too! He just got divorced.

    • FingerBinger says:

      Chris Martin isn’t 40 yet but he’s already considered a random old dude. That’s funny.

      • huny says:

        It’s because he looks bad. There are older men who look better tahn him. So he is 38 years old and look older.

    • Alex says:

      People is also the source for Paltrow and Martin so it skews his way.
      My take is that US weekly had it right when it wrote about the break up two months ago.
      You are right when you say Jen is a modern woman and independent. Also she clearly did not want a commitment from Martin (their relationship seemed friendly at best from the photos)…they made zero effort. When she was with Hoult she flew to see him on set often and he did the same for her. Now Martin was in canada for his new girl but he never flew there to see Jen on set? Ok then must have been SUPER serious

    • Dani says:

      People’s article was written by Chris’ side to make him look good. He is the rock star stud who was dating a super young needy woman who didn’t get he has other stuff to care about. Jlaw had to bend to his schedule like she is a nobody. She didn’t so they broke up. Nobody would buy this but after USweekly new couple report even even more ridiculous. People is trying to make him look good like he care so much for her and don’t want to end except he has been dating Annabelle since july. I guess he didn’t want cheating rumours. Fail attempt Mr. Martin.

  9. Talie says:

    Pretty obvious he was seeing other women — he’s already got a new steady girlfriend! I mean, that’s fast. She should try an athlete who is closer to her age — less drama and they would be grateful for her attention. JJ Watt, maybe?

    • Jegede says:

      Probably.

      But I find it SO odd, that Chris Martin, a guy who would rather have his eyes gouged out with a spoon than get even accidentally snapped with Gwyneth, and was almost as covert with JLaw, has been photographed rather soon with this new love interest.

    • Cleo says:

      I mean, I know it’s a stereotype and yes, some athletes are great guys but they’re not the first people that comes to mind when you think of being faithful and drama free. I’m not sure it would be much better than dating a rockstar.

    • Ronda says:

      lol, exactly @ Cleo. Athletes are worse boyfriends than rock stars and actors. if you believe the typical actor cant keep it in his pants than you have never paid any attention to athletes. not to mention that domestic violence is far more common (by the way also for female athletes so it seems to have something to do with it)

      if she wants less drama she needs to date someone out of the spotlight (Like Matt Damon and Meryl Streep for example) but she would bring a lot of crap into his life.

      • ell says:

        she could easily date another actor who feels privacy is important. it’s not like her relationship with nicholas hoult was ever in the papers, they were papped every now and again and that’s about it.

      • Ronda says:

        It was in the papers actually, there always were some kind of rumours and he was reportedly sick of being followed by paps everywhere even when they visited his friends in england.

  10. Jag says:

    That picture with Kris just looks completely set up and thirsty to me.

    • Esteph says:

      Thank you! I was thinking that!
      Jen has made it clear that she has a love for reality tv, but girl! She is associating herself with the wrong kind of tv family. She’s better than that

      • Kelly says:

        I wonder what Kris sacrificed in her latests deal with the devil to get that photo with Jennifer? Five years off poor little Mason’s life?

      • Esteph says:

        lol! you made me almost choke on my drink!

      • Nicole says:

        Eh its not like the Kardashians are in her inner circle. She’s a fan of reality tv. She would hang out with the dance mom kids if she met them too (she loves that show).
        Her friends thought it was funny to have Kris at the party and Jen probably took the photo as a thanks. No harm no foul.
        Its definitely a set up because you never really see photos with her actual celeb friends (Taylor, Lorde, Josh, Liam,etc) but you see them of her with her PR/industry connection friends (Rebel, Amy) and on rare occasions her friend laura posts a photo (but that’s far and few between)

    • Jib says:

      This thing with Kris Jenner seems so weird and random to me. I don’t get it at all. JLaw just seems to be doing anything to get her name out there, and why? She has two Oscars on her mantel.

      And I agree with comments from above- I do have a high tolerance for personalities, but JLaw would exhaust me. So much attention getting.

  11. bettyrose says:

    Chris desperately wants to be with Jen but needs time for his kids, which Jen considers “noncommittal”? This reads like a hit piece on JLaw. It drips of her being demanding and self-centered. Which might be true, dunno, but she’s too good for Chris either way. She’s young, rich, sought after, and if she wants a man who lives only for her, more power to her. Not my thing, but plenty of powerful people choose partners who live only for them. Just make sure he doesn’t have kids.

    • ell says:

      it’s not really selfish to want a man who puts you first though, even for non celebs. it’s hard to be with someone who already has a marriage and a family on his shoulders, you can divorce your spouse but not your children. being with someone with that sort of baggage isn’t for everyone.

      • bettyrose says:

        ITA! I’ve said from the beginning that she’s too young to be saddled with his baggage. Plus, her star is rising while his is fading. If she wants a no name boyfriend, it should be someone with no history in the entertainment industry (and no kids!!)

    • Mark says:

      It sounds like she tried to put out a hit piece on him but ended up sounding spoiled and self centered. Why should he stop recording his album and stop seeing his kids just because she’s use to the world revolving around her.

      If she’s so desperate to see him stop taking vacations and writing a screenplay with a woman who you who’ve known for a few and go and see your boyfriend. Plus the screenplay is gonna be garbage anyway Jennifer Lawrence is not funny at all

      • blanca says:

        @mark
        as usual you’re writing bad things about Lawrence. She works almost non-stop even more than Martin. The bad perdon here is Martin who wants to be with her but also makes what he wants (maybe an open relationship)

      • jbap says:

        I don’t get people who think J-Law isn’t funny. Frankly, that suggests to me that they just haven’t seen her interviews, or else their dislike of her is causing them to deny the obvious. By all means feel free to dislike her, but you have to admit the girl is good at one liners.

      • Mark says:

        @Jbap She isn’t funny at all, she’s just goofy if she wan’t famous you’d say the same

        @blanca What is it with jlaw loons, you should only praise the queen. He has children for gods sake, if she can’t see why he’s out them first she needs to sort her head out

      • Miffy says:

        I agree with Mark. Having been through a separation where kids were involved if I heard of a follow up romantic interest talking about ‘how good’ they’ve been about me spending time with my kids they’d be dumped so fast. It is something that has come up, and at the risk of running the ‘people without children just don’t understand’ pretentious/pious argument when you get involved with someone who has kids you need to understand you are always going to come second. It’s just the way it has to be. If that’s not something you’d be able to deal with, then dating a single parent isn’t a good idea.

        Also, how much commitment does anyone think they’re going to get from a newly divorced person? What sounds like he’s trying to have it all to me sounds like the very real situation of being able to care for someone deeply but not wanting to get into anything serious again. Again, I’ve also been there, where your deep admiration for a person conflicts with your own needs. I don’t think you have to be divorced to find yourself in that situation either.

        I’m not a JLaw or Martin fan but I can see and sympathise with both sides here.

  12. Sure Jan says:

    JLaw and Any uh I guess
    When I heard Goop was planning family events and things I said run for the hills JLaw their first go around. So I’m not suprised he just got out of a long relationship heck she just got out of a relationship herself. What’s the rush on commitment just have fun.

  13. ell says:

    i don’t like jlaw, but girl can do much better than divorced father of 2, come on. especially when said guy is goopy’s male counterpart.

  14. captain says:

    Hopefully she realises now he was the wrong choice. Hope she didn’t buy that property, so she doesn’t have to sell now. She seems like a really nice person, I wish her happiness.

  15. Grace says:

    well she was a rebound and she dumped Nicholas to be with him so it was bad aura all around.

    I wonder if Amy and Jennifer have farting competitions …

    We are going to be force fed their BFFiness for the next 2 years. I like Amy Schumer but i think Jlaw is one of the most over-rated and over-hyped actresses in Hollywood and i had it up to HERE being forced by the media into worshiping. She thankfully went off filming for a while so it was getting safe again. Like, even her stans must realize how over-hyped she is?

    I’ll give the movie a chance because it’s a female written script but i hope it’s funnier than Amy’s reply to Jen when she said she spilled the beans to the NYT – ”that you’re gay??’

    Haha.. hysterical…………

    • jbap says:

      Bad luck, @grace – sure, Lawrence attracts a lot of excessive hype, but it’s obvious she’s the real deal in terms of talent and star charisma, so I suspect you’ll be stuck with her for a long time to come.

      • korra says:

        She’ll fade eventually. All do with time.

        Also excessive hype when it comes to Lawrence is an understatement.

  16. Ann says:

    Nice to see Lawrence in a movie where she is not cast in a role she’s much too young for and paired with men too old for her.

  17. Norma says:

    It’s so strange that Martin was touchy with a woman in public, this isn’t his thing. This sounds like a way to make Lawrence jelous. I hope she doesn’t get back with him.

  18. Paloma says:

    Amy and Jen…a younger version if Tina Fey and Poehler–not funny.

  19. Nicole says:

    So glad this is over. Jen you can do better girl. FInd someone your age without the ex and kid baggage. I don’t think they were ever as serious as the tabs made it out to be (moving in, marriage, family vaca with goop!). It ran its course its not like it was a relationship for the ages.

  20. Veronica says:

    Ah, she’s upset that he’s “noncommittal.” That sounds like code speak for “this woman is so demanding.” If it’s over, I suspect it’s more her realizing that a man in his late thirties is at a very different stage in his life and that she’s wasting valuable youth on him. Or the fling is over and they parted amicably. Doesn’t seem very dramatic for either of them, eh?

  21. Nayru says:

    Maybe they aren’t on and off. Maybe they were never in a committed monogamous relationship in the first place. Perhaps they are closer to friends with benefits where they are together when they have time but are free to date others when they are busy.

    How serious could they really be?! Has she met his kids? Is she prepared to stepparent them? I am not seeing how a person with kids can have a serious relationship with someone who wants nothing to do with their kids.

    • Robert says:

      Who said that she wants nothing to do with his kids? It’s Martin who sounds like a jerk (he wants to do what he want when he wants do it). This shows what he thinks about women

      • Nayru says:

        You are right. I have no idea.I had meant to phrase that more as a question. I personally find it hard to believe she is ready to be a stepparent.

    • hmph says:

      Do you automatically have to be a step parent just because you are in a relationship with someone who has kids? I find that idea old fashioned.
      I’d leave the parenting duties to the kids actual parents and instead be some sort of “step-adult-friend”. I would never take on the parenting duties and doing any extra responsibility stuff.
      Sure I’d help here and there but I would never take on the burden as an extra parent just because I am in a relationship with a man with kids.

      • Lex says:

        Depends how serious the relationship is…
        Early on, it would be weird to act as a mum or dad to the kid.
        But to a lot of people, not getting along with their kids is a deal breaker, so they’d want you to at least make an effort.

  22. korra says:

    I’ll see it. I have no issue supporting female screenwriters….even if the movie might be awful. I have a feeling Schumer is doing the heavy lifting on this. I’m sorry but Jen is just kind of simple. I don’t envision her really doing a great deal. She’s gonna be such a great white feminist with this experience. Schumer has done some great sketches on her show. I have yet to see Trainwreck, but quite a few pieces on her show are hilarious. But after that last RIDICULOUS defense to her twitter about how she’s not racist. My god. She’s just as simple.

    And if this is what passes for humor for them, “That you’re gay! Totally. It’s exciting.” Good lord help me. Oh my god. They’re gonna be so much on this press tour. Talking about dieting, weight gain, how they eat, they’re ugly. It’s going to be wayyyy too much. Ugh.

    And you guys I call BS on Lawrence being a private person. This girl shares a lot, just not in pap pictures.

  23. Amanda says:

    Martin sounds like a douche. And now I’m really beginning to feel sorry for Gwyneth and what she probably had to put up with while they were married.

    • Miffy says:

      Really? I’ve read a lot more about her extra curricular activities within the marriage than anything about him. Maybe he was just better at hiding his but GOOP definitely had a wandering eye.

      • Albert says:

        They had an open marriage and probably he thinks that all relationships are like that. He seems really a douche. BTW maybe is difficult to date JLaw because media and people are so obsessed with her and everything she makes become a news

  24. Biby says:

    “he wants to do what he want when he wants do it” wow, way to sound douche, Martin. It’s funny because it’s clear People source is from his side. Yet they failed miserably in making him look good. USweekly confirming his new relationship made him look even more stupid. He likes Jlaw so much and is already with another one travelling the world to see her. Which btw, he never did for Jlaw. Good lucky, Annabelle. Make sure you made your schedule around Mr self centered or you will get dumped.

    • ican'tsnap says:

      Yeah, it sounds really bad. Like his priorities were his kids (good! of course), work, and then in between he wants to whatever he wants? Definitely doesn’t sound like he cared, at all, about Jennifer or making a relationship happen.

  25. Albert says:

    His new fling (if is real of course) sounds like Alexa Chung: a NY dinner, together in Japan and then…. adios.

  26. FWiW says:

    His kids should always come first but after that Chris Martin sounds like a selfish jerk. He wants it all his way or the highway and a relationship can’t survive that. He is not worth the Goop baggage, plus he is not even hot, so I am glad she came to her senses and moved on.

    Oh please, like Jennifer Lawrence wants commitment at this point in her life. This looks like it’s 100% from Chris’s camp. “Oh she just wanted too much from me” rather than the much more likely “she was too busy with her career and having fun to return my whiny texts.”

    I have heard so many men claim the woman was just too into them and that’s why it didn’t work, when it was the woman who did the dumping. This is such a typical guy lie.

    And some people still don’t know why Paltrow left him.
    Yesterday he was dating Jennifer. Today he is dating Annabelle. Oh, no… Us says Chris has been with Annabelle for a MONTH! Shhhh!
    But he’s crazy about Jen!
