Less than two months after Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow announced their split, it's being reported that the Coldplay singer went on a date with British TV presenter Alexa Chung ... and this isn't the first time they've hung out!

According to Heat Magazine, Chris and Alexa had a drink together last week at Elsa in New York City, and a source tells the publication:
    "When I arrived, about 9:15pm, they were tucked away in a dark corner of the back room of the bar. 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."


They pair reportedly struck up a friendship at the Glastonbury festival last year -- but this was when he was still married to Gwyneth! So either the duo are just friends or something else might be going on, though we doubt anything romantic was happening when they first met ... er, right?

Earlier this month Gwyn and Chris reunited for a dinner date at Giorgio Baldi, so all signs seemed to be pointing to a reconciliation, but now we gotta wonder! Maybe the "consciously uncoupled" couple are just trying to keep it friendly for their kids while dating other people?
