Chris Martin went on a date with Alexa Chung.

The Coldplay singer - who split from his wife Gwyneth Paltrow last month after 10 years of marriage - is said to have gone out for a meal with the model in New York. "Alexa and Chris did see each other in NYC, briefly. Friends think sit's definitely developing into a relationship. But Alexa's a cool girl. She's not going to make herself look stupid. They like each other and have a lot in common but life's a bit tricky for Chris at the moment," a source said.

It was recently reported the "Viva la Vida" hitmaker has been "angry" at how his breakup unfolded so publicly, and has reconsidered whether to ever get married again. "It's a tough time for Chris and he absolutely hates having his dirty linen washed in public. He's a very private person. Chris isn't comfortable talking about it, feels like he's let himself down and is also angry with the way the split unfolded," an insider previously said.
