Ready To Mingle! Newly Single Gwyneth Paltrow 'Playing The Field' After Recent Split With Brad Falchuk

Gwyneth Paltrow has made an art out of consciously uncoupling, as a source close to the 42-year-old Iron Man actress tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that she is, once again, single and ready to mingle!

Paltrow rebounded with following her divorce from longtime husband Chris Martin, 38.

But just one week after he was spotted on a date in Venice Calif., with a mystery brunette, a friend of Paltrow's says she is "not at all bothered by the breakup."

"Gwyneth did not want to get into another long and binding relationship," the source tells RadarOnline.com.

According to the insider, Paltrow is perhaps taking a cue from Martin, who has been involved in a laid back on-again, off-again relationship with his much younger gal pal, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, 24.

"She just wants to go out and play the field a bit," says the source. "She doesn't want to be tied down to anyone, or anything, in particular right now."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the mother to Apple, 11, and Moses, 9, "got quite serious" with Falchuk following her split from Martin in March 2014.

However, things recently took a turn for the worse when Falchuk stalled on finalizing his divorce from wife Suzanne.

"Gwyneth refused to be the other woman," the source previously said.
