   Despite being divorced, Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow want to celebrate their wedding anniversary this year

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are now your usual divorce couple. Though they split up earlier this year amid rumors of infidelity on both their parts, the couple remains very much together, spending suspiciously long periods of time, presumably for their children.

Martin and Paltrow announced that they would “consciously uncouple” back in March, but they still go out together for dinners, dates, shopping and even parties. The two live in the same neighborhood and Martin was even there to sing his ex-wife a happy birthday when she celebrated it with a lavish party.

In fact, their union was so suspicious that it even managed to drive a wedge between Martin and his latest girlfriend, actress Jennifer Lawrence, who decided to pull the plug on their romance last month and insiders claimed that it was because she didn't see his close relationship with Gwyneth very well.

An insider told Grazia Magazine that Chris and Gwyneth plan to push the envelope even more and celebrate their marriage anniversary on December 5 this year, as if nothing happened, “Chris has said he and Gwyneth want to make things as normal as possible for the children. They always do something to mark their anniversary. They also intend to spend at least part of Thanksgiving together and Christmas Day.”

Chris and Gwyneth have two children together, 10-year-old Apple and 8-year-old Moses, who must undoubtedly feel nothing is changed in their family, apart from the fact that mommy and daddy now sleep in separate houses.

Chris' closeness to his ex-wife is bothering Jennifer Lawrence, she's making him choose

But Chris better make a choice if he wants to keep seeing Jennifer Lawrence as his girl. The insider explains, “Jennifer understands that Chris needs to spend time with the kids and that he's got to be in contact with Gwyneth. But she's told him that if he's serious about making things work between them, he needs to file for divorce before the end of the year and show that he's ready to move on.”

The gossip is proven right by countless photos taken by paparazzi of Gwyneth and Chris, spending time together. They were seen and snapped laughing in restaurants, on the street, in shops, with or without their children, a clear sign that they're still close.

Remaining friends with your ex is always a cool thing and doing it for the sake of the kids is even more praiseworthy, but when you begin celebrating your marriage as if nothing ever happened and it interferes with your future relationships, questions begin to be raised: are Martin and Paltrow unable to move on?
