After announcing they had “consciously” decided to “uncouple,” Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin flew to the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, confirmed People magazine.

Keeping a low profile, the pair arrived at the airport wearing sunglasses and looking like any other vacationing couple. A source confirms that the stars, who have two children – daughter Apple, 9 and son Moses, 7, retreated to the tiny island to avoid the tsunami of press that followed the bombshell announcement.

“They’re in a somewhat isolated place,” says a source. “So they don’t have to deal with it as much.”

They are not the first celeb couple to holiday around a split. In 2005 Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were famously photographed appearing lovey dovey on the Caribbean island of Anguilla just one week before revealing their separation. Josh Lucas and his wife, Jessica Ciencin Henriquez went to visit her family in Colombia after announce their divorce plans.
