In hindsight, this doesn't exactly come as too much of a surprise.

Just three short days before Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced they had separated after 10 years of marriage, a source tells E! News exclusively that the Oscar-winning actress was spotted partying without the Coldplay frontman in Hollywood.

According to our eyewitness, Paltrow was seen attending Rob Lowe's 50th birthday bash solo on March 22 and mingling with the other celebrity guests, which included Cameron Diaz, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, Oprah Winfrey, Zac Efron and Rashida Jones.

"Gwyneth stuck nearby Cameron all night," the source says. "She was so positive and was in great spirits all night and was laughing it up at one point with Ellen and Portia."

Meanwhile, in the week following the split, Paltrow and Martin have been spending quite a bit of time together as they are currently on a family vacation in the Bahamas with their two children.

In fact, they were photographed dining with a group of friends at a beachfront restaurant just last Friday.

Local sources confirmed exclusively to E! News that the amicable exes rented an upscale home on Eleuthra Island to use during their stay.
