Coldplay singer Chris Martin reportedly went on a date with model Alexa Chung after splitting from Gwyneth Paltrow.

Martin, who split from his wife Paltrow last month after 10 years of marriage, is said to have gone out for a meal with the model in New York, reports contactmusic.com.

"Alexa and Chris did see each other in NYC, briefly. Friends think it's definitely developing into a relationship. But Alexa's a cool girl. She's not going to make herself look stupid,` said a source.

"They like each other and have a lot in common but life's a bit tricky for Chris at the moment,` the source added.
