Chris Martin, JLaw 'respectful of Paltrow'

Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence are supposedly "respectful" of Gwyneth Paltrow.

The 37-year-old Coldplay singer split from Gwyneth in March and it's believed he struck up a romance with Jennifer within the past two months.

Apparently the new couple have been discreet with their relationship in honour of Chris' ex.

"Jen has made a few visits to his Malibu house. Chris seems very respectful of Gwyneth and feels more comfortable spending time with Jen away from his family," a source told People magazine.

Chris shares two children, Apple, ten, and Moses, eight, with Gwyneth.

The entire family were spotted dining out at the Hungry Cat in Santa Monica on September 13 and apparently the former couple were beyond agreeable as they enjoyed their meal.

"They were very friendly to each other. They looked like a happy family," an alleged onlooker noted.

It's claimed Chris and Gwyneth think it's important to respect each other as a family even though they decided to separate.

"Gwyneth and Chris take the kids for brunch or dinner together every weekend," the insider explained. "He and Gwyneth still share responsibilities when it comes to their two kids."

Meanwhile speculation is rife Chris and Jennifer are absolutely head over heels for each other.

In August a source told Radar Online the 24-year-old Academy Award-winning actress will be accompanying Chris on his upcoming concert tour.

The alleged couple's bond has also purportedly strengthened since hackers released nude photos of the actress onto the internet on August 31.

"Chris has been by her side physically and emotionally through the entire nude photo scandal and really wanted to take her out to have her live her life and not hide out until she had to do her promotion for The Hunger Games in a few weeks," a source told Hollywood Life.
