Paltrow's marriage is not in trouble, says mom

London, Dec 17 (IANS) Gwyneth Paltrow's mother has dismissed reports that the actress's marriage to rocker Chris Martin is in trouble, insisting the gossip stems from their refusal to pose for pictures together.

The couple has been plagued by rumours of an impending split, speculation that increased after Paltrow was recently spotted partying in the US with pal Madonna, while Martin tours the Britain with his band Coldplay.

But Paltrow's actress mother, Blythe Danner, insists they are still a couple.

Contactmusic.com quoted her as saying: 'They don't take pictures together if they can avoid it. It's a strategy. They don't want the pandemonium. They're staying in England for the New Year. Then coming here (to New York).'
