Fans can’t believe how old Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple is as star celebrates ‘brilliant’ kid’s birthday

Gwyneth Paltrow’s mini-me child Apple Martin turned 21-years-old on Wednesday.

The GOOP founder wished her only daughter a very happy birthday on Instagram while sharing fun flashback photos.

‘To the light of my life, my ray of sunshine, my hilarious, brilliant, best buddy. Happy 21st birthday!!’ she began.

The blonde beauty added, ‘You are exceptionally kind and utterly wonderful. I am incredibly proud of your strength and your intellect. Your goofiness and your big laugh. 

‘You are just the best. The absolute best. Thank god for you, Apple Martin. I cannot wait to see what this next chapter brings for you. Love, Mama.’

Apple then took to the comments section to thanks mom.

‘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❤️,’ wrote the college student.

Other celebrities added comments as well.

‘Happy Birthday, Apple ! ✨’ wrote Gwyneth’s longtime friend Reese Witherspoon.

Kate Hudson added, ‘Oh honey, this gets me right in the tummy. Happy 21st Apple sweet!!!!’

Kourtney Kardashian, Christie Brinkley, Nicky Hilton, Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer hit the like button.

Apple’s father is Coldplay rocker Chris Martin and her stepfather is AHS producer Brad Falchuk.

Last year she also raved about her little one. 

You are the most extraordinary, the most hilarious, the most brilliant. I love your WWII insights as much as I love your physical comedy. 

‘You are the most fun to be with and you have always been. From those days when it was always you and me to now, you are my lil ride or die. You are everything to me and I am so proud of you. Have the best day, my peanut. mama.’

Pal Kate Hudson added, ‘Oh mama! I love you! I feel you ❤️ Happy Birthday beautiful woman ❤️.’ 

This comes after Paltrow said that Apple is vegan.

The child does not use any animal products, the Oscar-winning actress told E! News. 

‘My daughter has gotten so into clean, non-toxic beauty, vegan. She doesn’t want to touch anything that’s cruel to animals,’ said the ex of Brad Pitt.

‘So, she has really strong values running. It’s so nice that it aligns with the products that we already make.’

The teen – who is at college in Nashville – has inherited her mom’s passion for wellness. ‘In this case, the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree,’ the Shakespeare in Love star noted. 

She is proud of Apple too. ‘Apple is an adult woman now, so we relate to each other like that,’ said the actress.

‘Of course, I’m always her mama, and she comes to me for those things too. But it’s very interesting to really watch her step into herself as a grown woman.’

And Apple helps with GOOP.

‘She influences everything I do,’ Gwyneth shared.

‘I run everything by her. I value her opinion so much, and she’s also such a product person—especially with makeup, much more so than I am. 

‘I’m very minimal. So as we go more into color, she’s the person I rely on the most.’

Moses is aware too.

‘He really cares,’ she added. ‘It’s amazing. He knows all about ingredients. Like if I ever hand him something, he looks at the ingredients panel and he’s like, “Oh wow, this has niacinamide in it.”

‘I’m like, “Wow, how do you know all this stuff?” He’s very learned in the in the realm of skin care.’

She also talked her kids’ future.

‘Whatever they want to do in life, I want to support,’ she noted.

‘I think there are challenges in any career—certainly there are challenges in being an artist, for sure. ‘But should they choose that path, I will of course support them.’

Last year Gwyneth told People that Apple is a lot of fun to hang out with and she is grateful the college student is in her life.

‘I mean, she’s just so much fun to be with,’ the cover girl shared.

‘It’s so wonderful having a daughter because you have this amazing best friend and we like to do the same stuff, and she’s so funny and she’s so smart. It’s amazing.’

And she also looks up to her mini-me, who has already worked as a sales girl in a Los Angeles shop. 

‘I’m kind of in awe of this woman that she’s become and with all of her points of view that are really differentiated. She’s really strong and it’s amazing,’ shared the wife of TV producer Brad Falchuk, 52.

‘My children are similar in the ways that they’re both incredibly sensitive and empathetic. They really can feel people’s stuff very permeable in that way,’ said the Emma actress.

‘They’re both tall and they both have very interesting ways of seeing the world, and they’re different in the ways that they are. 

‘My daughter’s very much of an extrovert. My son is an introvert. They like to do very different things, but then I don’t know, then they both love to snowboard and they both love music, and they love their friends.’

But Apple is more like her father.

‘I think Moses and I are more, we’re happy kind of being home and being more internal.

‘But I think they’ve both gotten, hopefully, the best of both of us, and hopefully we’ve been able to minimize our s***** traits having passed those down,’ she continued.

And both Apple and Moses are interested in fashion.

‘They’re actually both very intrigued by fashion and into fashion,’ Paltrow said. ‘They are both very intrigued. They both really like fashion as an art form and as a form of expression. It’s really interesting to see them both choose that. My son, really it’s kind of how he tells the world who he is through his cool style.’

And she has stolen from Apple’s closet: ‘More random stuff, like a tank top or something like that. She’s more going through my closet for special event stuff.’

And she also said in the same People interview that Martin is a great father.

‘He has this sweet child-like spirit, and I love that he will be like, ‘Let’s go jump in the ocean,’ when it’s 58 degrees, or, ‘Let’s go to this weird guitar store.’ He always wants to do these fun adventures with them and activities.’

The blonde told the magazine that dealing with her blended family with second husband of five years, TV producer Brad Falchuk, is not a walk in the park.
