Gwyneth Paltrow has shared a photo of her daughter Apple to celebrate a big milestone.
The 49-year-old actor and founder of lifestyle company Goop posted on Instagram this morning that she was “a little wordless” in acknowledging her oldest child’s 18th birthday.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the woman you are. You are everything I could have dreamed of and more,” the message read.
“Pride doesn’t cover it, my heart swells with feelings I can’t put into words. You are extraordinarily extraordinary in every way. Happy birthday my sweet girl.
“I hope you know how special you are and how much light you’ve brought to all those lucky enough to know you. Especially Me. I say it all the time and I’ll never stop… in Aunt Drew’s words, I was born the day you were born. I love you. Mama.”
The daughter of Paltrow and her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Apple also has a younger brother, 16-year-old Moses.
Paltrow previously revealed that it was Martin who came up with their daughter’s unique name.
“Her father came up with the name and I fell in love with it. I thought it was original and cool. I can’t imagine her being called anything else,” she shared on her Instagram Story during a Q&A last month.
While the teens have largely been kept out of the public eye and have private social media accounts, Paltrow also shared a birthday tribute to her son last month.
