Paltrow Marries Coldplay's Martin

(CBS/AP)  Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin are married, according to the Santa Barbara County clerk-recorder's office.

Last week, Paltrow announced she was expecting their first child next summer.

County officials confirmed that the couple applied for a license last Friday, and that appears to be the date they tied the knot, in a short, secret ceremony.

An official in the county office told The Associated Press Wednesday that documents show the marriage happened but provided no other details, such as the exact date and location.

Publicist Stephen Huvane said his clients refuse to confirm or deny the report.

The Oscar-winning star of "Shakespeare in Love" has been dating Martin, frontman for the British band Coldplay, for the past year. Both have been reticent about publicly discussing their relationship.

This is the first marriage for Paltrow, 31, and Martin, 26.

Paltrow stars as poet Sylvia Plath in the new film "Sylvia."
