GWYNETH PALTROW - GWYNETH SETTLING DOWN FOR GOOD WITH CHRIS?

Movie star GWYNETH PALTROW has hinted she's planning to settle down and start a family with her COLDPLAY singer boyfriend CHRIS MARTIN.

The SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE actress - usually reticent about her private life - confessed she is planning to cut down on her film work to devote more time to her personal life.

She told American interviewer DIANE SAWYER she wanted a house "in the middle of a lot of land" so she could focus on "partners and babies".

However, the 31-year-old OSCAR-winner refused to speak directly about her IN MY PLACE boyfriend - who she has been dating for nearly a year - although her actress mother BLYTHE DANNER admitted she was "incredibly happy" in the relationship.

And Gwyneth's close friend ALISON OWEN says, "She's in a good place right now. Everything's coming together. She's happy in her personal life."
