Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow Butting Heads Over 21-Year-Old Daughter Apple’s Career Aspirations
Like a good nepo baby, Apple Martin, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, has capitalized on her famous parentage, modeling in GapStudio and Self-Portrait campaigns, gracing the cover of Perfect magazine and collaborating with the Nashville band Jade Street. Next up: “My dream is to act,” the Vanderbilt University senior told Vogue in February.
While Gwyneth is thrilled by the 21-year-old’s success — she’s even modeled with her — a source tells Star Chris is concerned. “He’s extremely protective and worries what the entertainment industry does to people,” says the source. “He’s worried about the pressure and excess. It can take people down a very bad path.”
Now the pair, who “consciously uncoupled” in 2016, are butting heads about what’s best for their firstborn.
“He’d prefer Apple take things slowly, but Gwyneth is very excited to help her make her dreams come true,” says the source, adding that Apple is “headstrong” like her mom. “Chris is going to have to get onboard or be left in the dust!”
