Chris Martin’s Son Moses Is His Lookalike in Gwyneth Paltrow’s 18th Birthday Post

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s son Moses turned 18 years old earlier this week (April 8), and the Shakespeare in Love actress took to Instagram to celebrate her child’s birthday.

“Happy 18th birthday to you, my son,” she wrote alongside a photo of Moses, looking exactly like his father as he gives a soft smile to the camera. “I am so proud of who you are. I love your sensitivity and brilliance and quiet humor. I admire how deep you go into areas that interest you, becoming an expert in synths from the 80’s and the French new wave.”

Paltrow continued, “I love how much you love the people you love, but also how internal you are. There is such a magnificent world of ideas and harmonies inside that beautiful head of yours. I am unbelievably proud of the person you are today, as you cross over the threshold into adulthood. I love you more than words can say, @mosesmartin you absolutely kill me.”

Paltrow and Martin married in December 2003 and remained together until 2014. The pair, who aside from Moses are also parents to 19-year-old daughter Apple, announced their separation in a joint statement about their mutual decision to “consciously uncouple.”

In a November 2023 interview with People, Paltrow revealed that she and the Coldplay singer spoke with friends and family members that have been through divorce, and used those experiences — such as the parents not sitting with each other at graduations, or not coming inside to pick the kids up — to navigate their own separation.

“Those were the things that really hurt the kids,” Paltrow explained. “And so Chris and I just said, ‘Let’s just never do that and let’s try to get through the hard part of this and remember our friendship.’”
