Gwyneth Paltrow spilled the beans on her daughter Apple’s unique name, revealing that ex-husband Chris Martin was behind it.
– Apple and son Moses – with the Coldplay frontman, before they split in 2016.
Speaking in an Instagram Q&A session, the 49-year-old spilled the beans on her family life, explaining how they settled on their oldest child’s moniker.
A follower took the opportunity to ask: ‘How did you come up with Apple no offense just wondering [sic].’
‘Her dad came up with name and I fell in love with it,’ she replied.
‘I thought it was original and cool. I can’t imagine her being called anything else!’
Neither can we.
Apple, 17, took her shot and used the opportunity to question her mom on something very important.
‘Who’s your favorite child? (Only one right answer),’ she jokingly penned.
Refusing to bite, Gwyneth added: ‘@applemartin I love you both the same, nice try.’
The Shallow Hal star welcomed Apple with the Yellow singer in 2004, before adding to their family two years later with son Moses.
During an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast recently, she said that she ‘almost died’ during her first delivery.
‘I had two cesareans… My daughter was an emergency. It was crazy – we almost died. It was, like, not good,’ she recalled. ‘Anyway, there’s a big scar across your body, and you’re like, “Oh, wow, that didn’t used to be there.”
‘And it’s not that it’s bad, or you want to judge it, but you’re just like, “Oh, my god.”‘
‘Thank god there wasn’t Instagram when I had babies because now it’s like if I see someone, “Oh I just gave birth two weeks ago and I have a completely washboard stomach,” and I’m like, “wow that’s not what I [looked like]”,’ she added.
‘And like great, more power to the lady with the washboard [abs] but that is totally the exception and then now we’re being fed all of these other images of what we’re supposed to look like all the time – babies, no babies, whatever.’
