Actress and businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow and her ex, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, share two kids, 20-year-old daughter Apple Martin and 18-year-old son Moses Martin.

Speaking to Glamour in 2016, Paltrow opened up about co-parenting with Chris Martin, to whom she was married from 2003 to 2016, sharing that they are able to set aside their differences to do "what's best for the kids."

"We put a lot of thought into how to do it so that the damage would be minimized," she explained of the split. "We'll have a weekend all together; holidays, we're together. We're still very much a family, even though we don't have a romantic relationship. He's like my brother."

After tying the knot with her current husband Brad Falchuk in 2018, Paltrow also became a stepmom to Falchuk's kids, Isabella and Brody, whom he shares with his ex, Suzanne Bukinik.

Apple

Born May 14, 2004, in London, Apple Blythe Alison Martin is the first child of Paltrow and Chris Martin.

Paltrow shared the inspiration behind her daughter's name during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2004.

"When we were first pregnant, her daddy said, 'If it's a girl I think her name should be Apple.' It sounded so sweet, and it conjured such a lovely picture for me, you know," she explained at the time. "Apples are so sweet and they're wholesome, and it's biblical. And I just thought it sounded so lovely."

Taking after her dad's singing skills, Apple Martin received a standing ovation for her performance with Chris Martin, who invited his daughter onstage with him to sing an acoustic version of Ariana Grande's "Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart" at a fundraiser event in Malibu in 2016.

In 2023, Paltrow revealed Apple Martin is a fan of her style, responding to a fan question on her Instagram story -- "Does Apple ever wear any of your fashion archives?" -- with a photo of her daughter wearing one of her past Oscars looks.

When Apple Martin turned 19 last year, Paltrow gushed over her daughter in a sweet post on Instagram.

"I love you so deeply and wholly, it defies articulation," the actress wrote in the caption. "To behold you as a 19 year old woman fills my heart with almost unbearable love, pride and meaning! I can't take it! Thank you for making me brunch, I am making you dinner!! I love you so much, forever and ever, mama."

Moses

The second child of Paltrow and Martin, Moses Martin was born April 8, 2006, in New York City.

In 2020, Moses Martin made an appearance with Paltrow via Zoom on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," where he expressed an interest in music.

"Right now, I'd say I'm playing guitar the most, it used to be piano for a while, and now I'm doing guitar lessons again," he told Fallon at the time.

While celebrating Moses Martin's 17th birthday in 2023, Paltrow paid tribute to him on Instagram, calling her son "the boy that fills my soul up every time I look at him."

"You are the most exceptional, kind, loving human being," she wrote in the caption. "You keep us all laughing with your perfect impressions and you inspire us with your harmonies. I deeply adore you more than you could ever imagine!"

In April 2024, Paltrow celebrated Moses Martin turning 18 by posting a picture of him on Instagram with a lengthy note in the caption to honor him.

"Happy 18th birthday to you, my son," she wrote at the time. "I am so proud of who you are. I love your sensitivity and brilliance and quiet humor. I admire how deep you go into areas that interest you, becoming an expert in synths from the 80's and the French new wave."

She continued, "I love how much you love the people you love, but also how internal you are. There is such a magnificent world of ideas and harmonies inside that beautiful head of yours."

She concluded the post, "I am unbelievably proud of the person you are today, as you cross over the threshold into adulthood. I love you more than words can say, @mosesmartin you absolutely kill me."
