Gwyneth Paltrow appears to be coping well after splitting from husband Chris Martin with a source revealing the Iron Man actress "looked happy" as she attended an art exhibition with their children last weekend.
The 41-year-old, who announced her "conscious uncoupling" from the Coldplay rocker last month, was spotted attending the Paris Photo exhibition in Los Angeles on Sunday with her two children, Apple, 9, and Moses, 8.

An eyewitness at the event told Us Weekly: "Gwyneth looked happy. She looked beautiful," adding that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring.
Due to some of the explicit nature of the exhibition, Apple and Moses weren't able to accompany their famous mum to some parts of the gallery due to age restrictions, but the insider says they acted like little angels anyway.
"One [room] had photos of dead bodies. The door was open so the kids could always see their mom. They looked interested, happy while they waited. They had the type of curiosity you have when you're young and are forbidden to do something," the eyewitness explained.
"The rest of the exhibit had a lot of naked, sex, sex toy photos. Those kids might have some questions after." Oh dear!
Chris, 38, opened up about his separation from Gwyneth for the first time in a candid interview with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe.
"About two years ago I was a mess really because I can't enjoy the thing that we are good at and I can't enjoy the great things around me because I'm burdened by this," Chris revealed.
"I've got to not blame anyone else and make some changes. I wouldn't use the word breakdown, this was more a realisation about trying to grow up basically."
He continued: "If you can't open yourself up, you can't appreciate the wonder inside. So you can be with someone very wonderful, but because of your own issues you cannot let that be celebrated in the right way.
"What changed for me was - I don't want to go through life being scared of it, being scared of love, being scared of rejection, being scared of failure."
Hinting at the reason for the couple's problems, Chris said: "Up to a certain point in my life I wasn't completely vulnerable and it caused some problems."
