Parading her toned P figure in the south of France where she joined her ex Chris Martin on a luxury yacht last week, Gwyneth Paltrow showed off the body she famously works so hard to maintain.

And as fans noticed the “C” tattoo she had on her hip during her marriage to Chris, 40, had disappeare­d, insiders reveal how the actress, 44, got rid of the inking as part of her bid to save her fragile relationsh­ip with boyfriend Brad Falchuk.

Gwyneth and Chris had a very amicable split after “consciousl­y uncoupling” in 2014 following 10 years of marriage – and are often pictured together with their children, Apple, 13, and Moses, 11.

Gwyneth – who’s been dating TV producer Brad, 46, for three years – even said last year that Chris would still take a bullet for her which, as Closer revealed at the time, angered the Coldplay star’s girlfriend, actress Annabelle Wallis, 32. A source says: “Brad finds Gwyneth’s relationsh­ip with Chris hard. She’s realised that she can’t have the best of both worlds and has decided to make an effort to prove to Brad that he’s now the main man in her life – and that started by getting her tattoo removed.

“Gwyn’s agreed to scale back her phone calls and messages to Chris and has promised she’ll stop posting pictures of him on social media.”

In March, the Goop founder posted a family snap alongside a message wishing the singer a happy birthday – hours after posting a similar message to Brad, who celebrated his birthday the day before.

A source says: “Chris has agreed to take a step back. She told him she’s cooling off her friendship for Brad and she’ll do anything to make it work.”
