The couple were “pleased” to confirm the pregnancy, publicist Stephen Huvane said in a statement. He declined to say whether there were wedding plans.
The 31-year-old actress has been dating Martin, frontman for the British band Coldplay, for the past year. Both have been reticent about publicly discussing their relationship.
In a recent interview with the British Broadcasting Corp., Paltrow said she hopes to marry but wouldn’t reveal whether that aspiration extended to the 26-year-old Martin.
Paltrow won a best-actress Oscar in 1999 for “Shakespeare in Love.” She stars as poet Sylvia Plath in the new film “Sylvia.”
