明星夫妻为何分手后依然甜蜜

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were all lovey-dovey in January (above). In March, they announced their breakup, but that hasn't stopped them from being together.

We’re no longer a couple — but I still want to be with you!

Sly celebrities determined to show the world that their breakup was amicable and that there’s no dirt to dig up have been making sure to be photographed looking weirdly affectionate and happy post-split.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin — who announced on March 25 that they would “consciously uncouple” — were spotted days later vacationing together in the Bahamas

They’re not the only ones. Kris and Bruce Jenner held hands at an L.A. airport Wednesday as they returned from a family vacation in Thailand, nearly six months after announcing their separation.

And despite their split, Orlando Bloom and model Miranda Kerr have been seen out and about in Manhattan with their young son, Flynn, with Kerr hanging onto Bloom’s arm and smiling.

Why all this lovey-dovey behavior from people who no longer want to be together?

Part of it is to put on a front that there’s nothing worth watching, according Brian Balthazar, editor of the culture website POP Goes the Week.

“Whenever a celebrity couple splits, if they can agree on one thing, it’s that the press is going to be watching them to see what they do,” he says.

It’s definitely “image management,” agrees Tom Fitzgerald, one half of the celebrity blog Tom & Lorenzo and co-author of “Everybody Wants to Be Me or Do Me.” “Celebrities leverage their personal lives for public sympathy constantly.”
