Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk appear to have gone public with their romance.

The two have been linked since last year (14), but while they have been snapped out together, they are yet to confirm their relationship.

However a recent photo Instagrammed by Brad, following a party and calling Gwyneth his date, has silenced the few doubters.

"It was a mutual decision to go public," a source told Britain's Grazia magazine. "Brad's divorce will be finalised soon so now is a good time.

"Brad and Gwyneth were very public with their affections at the party. Of course, although this was their first outing as a couple, it has been one of the worst-kept secrets in Hollywood."

Brad split with estranged wife Suzanne in 2013, and Gwyneth called time on her marriage to Chris Martin in 2014. Both have two children with their former partners.

Brad's black-and-white snap may have been the first uploaded by him, but paparazzi caught a glimpse of the couple sunning themselves in Italy in July (15).

"Much of the last year, they've been at pains to keep things under wraps," the insider revealed. "Gwyneth has never been a fan of overexposing her love life and she likes a stealth approach introducing a new situation in her personal life to the world."

A friend of Gwyneth's also confirmed the Oscar winner has introduced Brad as her boyfriend.

"These are big steps for her as she has been loath to put any labels on their relationship until now," the friend said. "We're all really happy for."

Last weekend (26-27Sep15) Gwyneth was apparently seen looking close to ex Chris as she celebrated her 43rd birthday (27Sep), but the pair have remained on good terms since parting ways.
