Jennifer Lawrence might be dating Chris Martin, but it's Gwyneth Paltrow who still has his last name—and a monogrammed "M" on her underwear!

No need to get your panties in a wad! It was the Goop goddess herself who pointed this out Thursday when she unveiled a line of "everyday undies [that] are well-priced, flattering, and have the added charm of a monogram" on her famed lifestyle blog.

As Gawker and Vanity Fair were quick to note, Gwyneth's married moniker is included in the sample skivvies' monogram: GKPM, which, as you should already know, stands for Gwyneth Kate Paltrow Martin.

Now, before anyone soils a $25 pair of personalized panties, keep in mind the fact that Gwynnie and Chris are amicable exes. Because they remain close friends, G.P. probably isn't in any huge rush to erase the Coldplay singer's last name—from her initials, her underwear or any of the monogrammed doilies, teapots or sterling silver candle sticks she amassed during her 11-year marriage.

Plus, given the fact that Chris has two kids with Gwyneth (daughter Apple, 10, and son Moses, 8), he's going to be a permanent fixture in her life. And if the Oscar winner wants to remain Mrs. Martin in her personal life (she's always stuck to her maiden name professionally), then so be it.

In any case, Goop's laid-back lingerie line of underwear, bras and sleep tank and short sets is very tasteful and wholesomely chic. In other words, they're cheeky but you won't see much cheek. After all, Gwyneth is working a '70s vibe down there, so a monogrammed thong would be out of the question!
