As soon as I heard about Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence’s split earlier this week, my first thought was “Well, Gwyneth Paltrow is going to be smug about this.” To give her some credit, Gwyneth played the situation really well. She didn’t publicly diss Jennifer Lawrence, but you could feel Goop orchestrating some of the drama behind-the-scenes. Gwyneth still made sure that Chris spent lots of time with her and their kids. Gwyneth dictated the terms. Gwyneth still manipulated the players to some degree. And it worked. So, she has reason to be so smug… this time. She won. Her estranged husband is no longer dating a fart-soaked America’s Sweetheart.
That was fast! Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin’s relationship has fizzled out after just four months, and no one is less surprised than his ex, Gwyneth Paltrow. RadarOnline.com has learned that she’s telling friends she knew the relationship was doomed from the start!
News of the Lawrence – Martin split broke on Monday, but according to a source, “Gwyneth wasn’t surprised by it. She never thought the relationship was going to last because of their age difference. Jen is 24 and Chris is 37. Plus, Jen complained to Chris that she felt like the third wheel in their relationship because of all the time he spent with his kids.”
Meanwhile, “Gwyneth always pressured Chris to spend more time with Apple and Moses,” the source revealed. “The kids would constantly call Chris when he was with Jennifer, and whatever they were doing would have to come to a standstill. There was always the expectation from Gwyneth that Chris should spend even more time with the kids.”
According to the source, “Even though Gywneth didn’t take Chris’ relationship with Jen seriously, there is a chance they could get back together. Jen is young and impulsive, and Chris still has very strong feelings for her.”
A request for comment from Paltrow’s rep wasn’t immediately returned.

J-Law and Nicholas Hoult did the on-and-off thing for years, so I think she’s like that. I think there probably is a chance that Jennifer and Chris would get back together at some point. And if Gwyneth finds out, she’ll find a way to sabotage that too. *GOOP CACKLE*
People Magazine has a story about why J-Law broke it off with Chris and, if I may summarize, it sounds like Jennifer was very uncomfortable with how close Gwyneth and Chris still seemed. A source claims: “It is hard for her to understand the feelings between Chris and Gwyneth. She thought that Chris and Gwyneth were a little too close for comfort. It was an odd situation for her.” Yes, Jennifer. You just got played by Dame Goop.
