HOLLYWOOD (Zap2it.com) - Despite a rash of stories claiming Gwyneth Paltrow is engaged to her British rocker boyfriend, Chris Martin, the pair are not getting married, according to a publicist for the actress.
Stories published on Internet sites Teen Hollywood, MegaStar and News 24 have Paltrow and Martin getting secretly engaged.
London's Sunday Mirror ran a report quoting a friend of Martin's as saying, "He can't wait till she becomes his wife. It will make him feel complete."
One source even went so far as to say Paltrow will be given away by Steven Spielberg, in place of her father, film director Bruce Paltrow, who died last year.
"The story is 100 percent fabricated. They are not engaged," a publicist at Paltrow's PR firm, PMK, tells Zap2it.
Had it been true, it would have been the first engagement for Coldplay frontman Martin and the third one for Paltrow, who was previously engaged to Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.
