Rumours have circulated that suggest that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow clashed over her following of Kabbalah.

It was announced earlier this week that the pair would be splitting after nearly 11 years of marriage and newspaper The Sun claimed that they had been struggling for a while and part of the reason was because of Paltrow’s strict beliefs.

“Chris wasn't happy about it. He felt that he was starting to lose the woman he fell in love with," a source said.

The couple recently moved to LA from London where they spent most of their marriage and this was apparently another contributing factor in their “conscious uncoupling”.

“He preferred living in London, mainly because of the schools for their kids and he felt settled. They also lived near Coldplay's recording studio - The Bakery," the source continued.

“In LA they lived completely separate lives and disagreed about the set-up of their house. Gwyneth wanted her Goop business to really boom and so got an office set up at her home. That meant Chris didn't have room to build a full-scale studio and so he travelled away to record.

“Chris was really struggling with Gwyneth. Their relationship was under huge strain and he was doing everything he could to patch things up. But he felt he had no choice but to move out. Guy offered him a place to stay where he could hide out and deal with it all.”
