Apple Martin, the daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, celebrated her 21st birthday on May 14, 2025. The occasion was marked by a heartfelt tribute from her mother on social media, showcasing Apple's transformation through the years.

Gwyneth Paltrow shared a reel on Instagram filled with photos of Apple, from childhood snapshots to more recent images displaying her unique style. The Goop founder captioned the post with a loving message, calling Apple the "light of my life, my ray of sunshine, my hilarious, brilliant, best buddy". She expressed immense pride in her daughter's strength, intellect, kindness, and wonderful nature. "Thank God for you, Apple Martin. I cannot wait to see what this next chapter brings for you. Love, Mama," Paltrow added.

Apple responded to her mother's touching words in the comment section, writing, "I love you so so much mama. Thank you for being the best mom and for allowing me to grow and discover myself. I couldn't have done it without you". Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon also joined in to extend their birthday wishes.

Born on May 14, 2004, in London, Apple Blythe Alison Martin gained media attention early in life due to her unusual name. Her father, Chris Martin, even released a song called "I Am Your Baby's Daddy" under the name "the Nappies" in anticipation of her birth. Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" was also inspired by his experience of becoming a first-time father.

Growing up, Apple's parents strived to keep her and her younger brother, Moses, out of the public eye. However, as she has grown older, Apple has gradually stepped into the spotlight. In January 2023, she made her fashion week debut at the Chanel haute couture show in Paris. In November 2024, Apple made her society debut at Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, wearing a custom baby-blue Valentino gown.

Apple is currently a junior at Vanderbilt University, majoring in "law, history, and society". She is also involved in an extracurricular theater group, the Vanderbilt Original Cast. Apple told Interview Magazine that she would love to do theater and has been trying to get involved in student films.

Apple has also developed a keen interest in fashion, often borrowing clothes from her mother's closet. Paltrow has even saved vintage pieces from the 90s for Apple to wear. Apple admitted that she is still developing her style, but enjoys wearing Doc Martens, jeans, white t-shirts, and jackets.

As Apple Martin turns 21, she is carving her own path, balancing her studies with her passion for fashion and the arts. With her unique blend of celebrity lineage and personal ambition, Apple is definitely one to watch in the coming years.
