Photographers snapped a bummed-out-looking Gwyenth Paltrow walking around London yesterday–the same day her BFF Madonna announced the end of her marriage to Guy Ritchie. Gwyneth reportedly spent the last few months begging Madonna to keep her seven-and-half-year marriage together for the sake of her three children, Lourdes, twelve, Rocco, eight, and David, two.

A source told MailOnline: “Gwyneth begged Madonna all summer not to be an idiot and let this marriage fall apart.”

Gwyneth is also said to have developed a soft spot for toddler David and would be devastated to lose regular contact with him as well as with her best friend.

The source said: “Gwyneth is in love with that little boy and sees him several times a week while she’s in London, and she has as much at stake as anyone in seeing his parents stay together.

“She just doesn’t think it’s possible that Madonna and Guy would hurt their children by splitting up, and says she has actively advised both of them to put their problems and their egos aside for the sake of the children.

“Gwyneth loves being a mom and loves having Madonna as a confidant about marriage, motherhood and keeping a home together in the public eye. For those reasons alone, Madonna becoming single again is Gwyneth’s worst nightmare. Overnight, they’d go from having everything in common to almost nothing.

“I don’t think their friendship could survive, especially if Madonna is the one who forces the split.”

TL;DR version: Gwyneth wants Madonna to stay married to Guy so they can double with Gwyneth’s husband, Chris Martin. Hopefully there’s some crazy wife-swapping going on or something.

OT: What’s up with Gwyneth’s pants?
