Gwyneth Paltrow Does Spain Sans Husband

It’s been four years since Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin got married. And two kids later, we rarely see the pair out together.

Earlier this week, Paltrow was spotted in Barcelona, Spain. She was hamming it up at El Corte Ingles department store on behalf of Estee Lauder’s Pleasures Fragrance. And Chris was nowhere to be found.

There have been increasing rumors that the couple are having serious marital problems. One source talked about Gwyn’s reluctance to speak of her hubby.

“It was like Gwyneth didn’t want to talk about him. It was very strange. They haven’t been out together for months.”

An insider speculated to press that the “Sliding Doors” actress and the “Yellow” singer are disagreeing on where they want to live. “Gwyneth has wanted to return to the States permanently for a long time but Chris has said no.”

But Paltrow’s publicist has slammed the assertions that her client is having marital problems. “Gwyneth and Chris as a policy do not talk about each other in the media, nor do they attend public functions together. They have not been apart all summer as you suggest and she does not want to move to America.”

Whether or not those are famous last words, only time will tell.
