Were these pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow kissing ex-boyfriend Donovan Leitch the final straw for her marriage to Chris Martin?

Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted kissing her ex-boyfriend Donovan Leitch at a baseball game in Los Angeles, in September last year.
The actress, who announced she and her Coldplay rocker husband Chris Martin had ‘consciously uncoupled’ on Tuesday evening, dated British actor Donovan in the 1990s.
The pair were seen very openly kissing on the mouth while sitting front row at a Los Angeles Dodgers game with her daughter Apple and son Moses sat alongside them.

Donovan is estranged from his wife of 10 years, 37-year-old model Kirsty Hume, with whom he has a daughter Violet Jean.

The couple are pictured looking very cosy with the 46-year-old In The Crowd actor wrapping his arms around Gwyneth’s neck as they pulled in for a kiss.
A spokesperson for the actress denied any romantic involvement between the pair, telling MailOnline: 'Gwyneth has been close friends with Donovan for over 20 years.

'There is no romantic relationship between them whatsoever. There is no other person involved as is clear in the letter from Gwyneth and Chris on Goop.'
When the Daily Record, who first published the kissing pictures last year, approached Gwyneth's publicist the PR remained silent; a spokeswoman for Chris also declined to comment.
At the time both Gwyneth and Donovan were married to their respective partners.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin: 'We've consciously uncoupled' Actress takes to her Goop website to announce separation from Coldplay rocker husband of ten years

Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin are separating after 10 years of marriage, they have announced today.
The actress broke the news on her Goop lifestyle website, writing: 'It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.'
Gwyneth, 41, and Coldplay frontman Chris, 37, have two children, and in their emotional, somewhat bizarrely entitled, statement called 'Conscious Uncoupling', they admitted they had spent more than a year battling to save their marriage.
They wrote: 'We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.

'We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been.
'We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.
The couple are said to have escaped to Eleuthera in the Bahamas with their children before the announcement was made on Gwyneth's website.
