So cute! Gwyneth Paltrow took to Instagram on Tuesday, Jan. 8 to share a lovely birthday shout-out to her daughter Apple Martin’s friend. The mom-of-two posted the sweet photo of the three embraced as her 14-year-old mini-me planted a kiss on her cheek.

“Happy birthday to you, sweet Doobs,” the 46-year-old wrote in the caption of the photo of herself, Apple, and Deven Dees. “My other daughter, your giant heart lights up our lives.” Deven is the daughter of Gwyn’s long-term confidant, Daun Dees. Take a look at the sweet photo below! 

As summer 2018 came to an end, Gwyn shared a cute snap of Apple and Moses as they gave serious looking stares while they stood in a grassy lawn. “Noooooo summer don’t go,” the It’s All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great author wrote. She also shared a gorgeous pic of the mother-daughter duo on National Daughter day in September 2018. “Happy #nationaldaughtersday Apple Martin, it’s like I conjured you from a dream, you make my life,” the proud mama said in her tribute.

Gwyn, who shares her two children, Apple and Moses, 12, with her ex-husband, Chris Martin, may try to shield her kiddos from the spotlight. Every now and then, though, the Iron Man actress gives us a little glimpse into her life as a mother.

And even though she is navigating motherhood while divorced from her former husband, the two are said to have a really good relationship. In November 2018, Chris and Gwyneth attended the Broadway musical Waitress with Apple and Moses. A source told Us Weekly at the time that “Gwyneth and Chris looked happy together and their kids too,” while adding, “They seemed to love the show. The kids were singing along and they looked like one big happy family.”

Not only does Gywn still have the support from Chris, but she also has the support from her new husband, Brad Falchuk. The two lovebirds tied the knot on Saturday, Sept. 29 in a secret ceremony. The sweetest part is that Apple stood by her mom’s side during the beautiful ceremony!
