Chris Martin and Alexa Chung ‘Get Cozy in NYC’

CHRIS Martin was recently spotted on an intimate “date” with Alexa Chung.

The rocker — who split from Gwyneth Paltrow earlier this year — was seen with fellow Brit Chung in a New York City bar on May 6.

“When I arrived, about 9:15pm, they were tucked away in a dark corner of the back room of the bar,” a source told Britain’s Heat magazine.

Martin 37, and Chung, 30, were on what “looked like a date,” according to the report.

“I spotted them straight away and asked Chris ‘Are you a singer?’ He just laughed and said ‘Yes, but not tonight,” the eyewitness said.

“He was a really nice guy – he shook my hand and didn’t care that he was being recognized.

“Chris and Alexa seemed to know each other really well. They were both in a great mood and even asked us to watch their bags when they went out for a cigarette. It definitely looked like a date to me.“

Paltrow, 41, is fully aware of the relationship — and isn’t threatened by the younger woman, according to an insider.

“She’s been telling people she ‘doesn’t care’ because she’s a big star and Alexa isn’t even on TV anymore,” the insider said.

“Alexa’s being very cool, chilled and understanding, letting him have his space and deal with his soon-to-be-ex-wife until they’ve filed the divorce papers.

“She doesn’t want to hassle or pressure him in any way.”
