 We were shocked to learn that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin ended their relationship after just four months, but a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Chris’ ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, had a lot to do with Jennifer’s heartbreaking decision to end things. 
 
 Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin went through a lot together during their four-month courtship, such as a nude photo scandal and juggling hectic schedules, but it was Chris’ ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow who became the biggest hurdle for the couple, and ultimately, the reason for their breakup. 
 
 Chris Martin & Jennifer Lawrence Break Up — Gwyneth Paltrow To Blame For Split 
 
 “Jennifer just couldn’t compete and didn’t want to. Chris is clearly not over Gwyneth and his main priority is his kids. Jennifer really respects him, but she wants a man of her own. And Chris has been spending lots of time with Gwyneth and their kids lately. It was just a bit too much for Jen. She doesn’t want to be second to anyone. You can’t blame her,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. 
 
 We can certainly understand the way Jennifer feels. It’s likely not easy coming into a family like that, especially when Chris, 37, and Gwyneth’s “unconscious uncoupling” is so fresh. 
 
 Following the end of Gwyneth, 41, and Chris’ marriage in March 2010, she reportedly “[drew] up a rota to balance his time living life as a bachelor and seeing Jennifer with honoring their many family commitments,” a source told Grazia UK in September. 
 
 “Gwyneth still has a lot of control over him, which isn’t exactly desirable to prospective girlfriends,” the source said. “The way things are at the moment, no sane person would want to be an accessory to their conscience uncoupling.” 
 
 Clearly, Jennifer, 24, couldn’t take the heat. And we don’t blame her! 
 
 Chris Martin & Jennifer Lawrence Split 
 
 Despite understanding Jennifer’s feelings, we’re very sad to hear about this split. 
 
 Since getting together in June, Jennifer and Chris shared an exciting connection! 
 
 Jennifer often supported Chris at his Coldyplay concerts, and in early October, they attended the Kings of Leon concert together and showed off how happy they were by flaunting some steamy PDA! 
 
 Breakups are always hard, so we hope Chris and Jennifer find what makes them happy in the near future. 
 
 What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you shocked Chris and Jennifer broke up? Tell us how you feel!

 Well, that was fast. Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin have split after four months of dating, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly. 
 
 The Oscar-winning actress, 24, and Coldplay rocker, 37, started dating in late June, shortly after Lawrence split from her longtime boyfriend, actor Nicholas Hoult. Martin, meanwhile, announced he and his wife of 10 years, Gwyneth Paltrow, were consciously uncoupling in late March.

 A source close to Martin told Us the couple's relationship has been "rocky" due to their "insane" schedules. "They really like each other," the insider said, "but it's just so complicated with so much going on." 
 
 As previously reported by Us, the new couple fell hard for each other after consciously coupling this past summer. "It's a fantasy come true [for Lawrence]," one source told Us, adding that The Hunger Games' leading lady has had a crush on Martin since she was a teen.

 Another source told Us Martin believed she was "the real deal." 
 
 Lawrence recently supported Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl in early October, after being photographed backstage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival last month, where the Brit performed with his band.

 In the November 2014 issue of Vanity Fair, without naming names, Lawrence discussed what she looks for in a significant other. "I would just rather have somebody that has the same taste in reality TV," Lawrence told the mag. "I do love my Real Housewives. New York Housewives — and Beverly Hills, New Jersey, and Atlanta Housewives. I mean, I love them all, but Miami — oh, my God! Miami is really special."

 She added — rather unabashedly — that she would prefer to be comfortable with her soul mate. "[I want someone who] isn't afraid to fart in front of me [rather] than to have big, passionate love," the X-Men standout said. "I'd rather have just a peaceful time. [Those relationships] are deeper because you can be your true self with somebody, and somebody can be their true self with you."
– Chris Martin has now uncoupled from Jennifer Lawrence, the paramour he briefly and, apparently, intensely took on after uncoupling from Gwyneth Paltrow. Multiple sources tell Us it's over between them, four months after they started dating. Their "insane" schedules made the relationship "rocky," says one insider, even though "they really like each other." As for who dumped who, "Jen is the one who broke it off with Chris," a source tells People. A Hollywood Life source gets more detailed: "Jennifer just couldn’t compete and didn’t want to. Chris is clearly not over Gwyneth ... Jennifer really respects him, but she wants a man of her own." (So that invalidates our theory that Martin found out JLaw was a bad kisser.)
