Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are reportedly planning to spend time apart.

The Daily Mail claims that Paltrow is expecting to spend months away from home to make some new films.

"Gwyneth will be spending a lot of time away to focus on her new movies," a source said. "She goes to Berlin in the spring to make The Danish Girl. Before that, she will star in a small-budget independent musical set in America's Deep South. She loves singing so it was a role she couldn't turn down."

Paltrow has also recently filmed Iron Man 2 and will need to spend time promoting it.

However, a spokesman insisted that the 37-year-old's schedule "leaves plenty of time for her family".

Paltrow has previously admitted that being married to Martin can be "hard".
