This article discusses the relationship and marriage of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and the lead singer from the band Coldplay Chris Martin. Gwyneth Paltrow seemed unusually excited to be a guest on The Tonight Show Dec. 4. The following day, according to a source close to Paltrow, the actress married the father of her child, Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin.

When Paltrow taped an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Dec. 4, the comedian surprised her with baby gifts, including a $3,000 Silver Cross Balmoral navy blue handmade pram (a British baby carriage).

Within weeks of her father's funeral in October 2002, Gwyneth Paltrow flew to London, where she threw herself into the filming of "Ted and Sylvia", the upcoming drama about the life of poet Sylvia Plath. Now that she's finished that role, Paltrow, 30, has decided to take some time off and tend to her personal life. Paltrow recently dropped out of her next two film projects: the romantic comedy "Huckabee's", which will now star Naomi Watts, and the ensemble piece "Happy Endings", in which she'll be replaced by Jennifer Garner. "She is not depressed," says a source close to Paltrow, who will spend a brief hiatus in Europe before returning to the U.S. to promote "Sylvia" in June.

The two have been inseparable of late, frolicking in Hawaii on vacation and in New York, where the couple visited a photography exhibit and attended the Tribeca Film Festival.
