Gwyneth Paltrow and Sophie Turner are at the center of a new celebrity connection involving Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Sources close to the trio revealed that Turner’s rumored relationship with Martin reportedly required Paltrow’s approval before moving forward.
Gwyneth Paltrow gives approval for Chris Martin’s dating life
According to #ShuterScoop, Sophie Turner’s rumored romance with Chris Martin reportedly required Gwyneth Paltrow’s approval. A source close to the Coldplay frontman said, “Gwyneth still has enormous influence in Chris’s life. They may have consciously uncoupled, but she’s the unofficial gatekeeper. You don’t date Chris without Gwyneth knowing — or approving.”
Martin, 48, and Paltrow, 52, share two children, Apple and Moses, and have remained close since their separation. “They vacation together, they text constantly, and she still helps manage parts of his world,” the insider explained. “She’s protective of him — and she’ll definitely have thoughts about Sophie.”
Turner, 29, who recently separated from Joe Jonas, has reportedly been told by friends that Paltrow’s opinion carries significant weight. “Gwyneth’s not mean — she’s just… Gwyneth,” the source said. “She likes her smoothies green and her exes’ girlfriends balanced.” Mutual friends are said to have advised Turner to approach the situation carefully and respectfully.
For now, Paltrow is said to be adopting a measured stance toward the new relationship. “She knows Sophie’s young, beautiful, and just out of a messy divorce,” the source added. “But if she makes Chris happy — Gwyneth will bless it.”
Paltrow and Martin have maintained a long-standing friendship since announcing their split in 2014, often praised for their co-parenting relationship. The pair have appeared together at family events and continue to share mutual support in both personal and professional aspects. While Paltrow has publicly moved on with her husband, Brad Falchuk, insiders suggest her bond with Martin remains strong and influential in his personal life.
