Chris Martin seems to be one of those gentlemen who definitely prefer blondes. He is now seeing British actress Annabelle Wallis after the end of his on-off relationship with Jennifer Lawrence. At the weekend the Coldplay frontman was seen with 31-year-old Annabelle in Paris. On their romantic break the couple were kissing passionately and twirling round the street in a lighthearted Strictly style dance.
The new romance comes after his shock split 20 months ago from Hollywood leading lady Gwyneth Paltrow, who is now equally loved up with Glee producer Brad Falchuk. So who is the attractive actress who seems to have won Chris' heart?
