On Saturday, November 30th, 2024, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin gathered to celebrate their then-20-year-old daughter, Ringo Martin. The Paris event will introduce young women to society along with past debutants, including stars such as Lily Collins and Margaret Quarry.
Paltrow shared a carousel from his Instagram trip the following day. This features a shot of her ex-husband, captioning a post that read “A special long weekend in Paris.”
According to Vogue, for her debut, Apple wore a custom Blue Valentino gown. Her mother also wore a long black gown covered in frills, designed by Valentino.
Since then, Apple has stepped into the spotlight and has been running fashion and beauty campaigns. With two biggest names in the entertainment industry, there’s everything you need to know about her and her life.
Who is Apple Martin?
Apple Blythe Alison Martin was born on May 14, 2004. Her middle name Blythe pays tribute to her grandmother Blythe Danner, the mother of actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
Paltrow and Martin had a son, Moses, two years later. The couple eventually split in 2014, but have remained friends and co-parents ever since. When Apple graduated from high school in 2022, they were both there.
“Congratulations to all the alumni, especially @Applemartin,” Paltrow wrote at the time.
Apple attends Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and is interested in modeling and fashion. She attended the Chanel Couture Show, the first fashion show of 2023, where she sat in the front row alongside Lucy Boynton, Stranger Things star Sadicink and Belgian singer Anguer.
Prior to the event, Apple spoke with Vogue about the appeal of her fashion.
“It was very exciting to see the art of design. There’s a line theme throughout the show,” she shared. “My favorite looks on the show were the short tweed drocks with a dropped waist and a white floor length dress… I really enjoy keeping up with fashion.”
She wore a Chanel black and white tweed dress from the Spring 2023 collection, and said, “I wanted to encapsulate Chanel’s timelessness, but added an edge to the eye look.
When Apple came onto the scene, fashion insider Derek Blasberg posted a story about the late Karl Lagerfeld meeting Apple as a baby, telling her parents that she will grow up to become a “Chanel girl.”
Paltrow seemed to confirm the story in the comments, writing, “In fact, she was alone.”
How did Paltrow and Martin raise her after their divorce?
In 2023, Paltrow told people how she and Martin maintained a good relationship after “consciously removing them.”
“He has this sweet childlike spirit. I love him being like, ‘Let’s fly to the sea’ or 58 degrees or ‘Let’s go to this strange guitar store’,” she shared. “He always wants to do these fun adventures with them and activities.”
She says, “He has a real sweetness. And he brings it to the way he makes them parents… He’s like a lot, he’s on a lot of paths, but he brings it.
Appearing at the 2020 Drew Barrymore Show, she said the same thing.
“You’re like you’re done with your marriage, but you’re still in your family,” Paltrow said. “That’s how it becomes eternal… We have good and bad days, but I think it’s driving towards the same purpose of unity and love and what’s best (our kids).”
Does Apple Martin have social media?
While college students seem to keep their social media profiles private, her mom has posted about her and how inspiration she is on Instagram. Like this 2022 post from International Women’s Day she wrote, “This woman gives me hope for the future of sisterhood and the future of our planet. And this woman has made me more woman than I am today.”
Did Apple work with her mother?
In September 2025, Apple debuted with a gap campaign with its mother as part of the 2025 brand autumn/winter campaign. Speaking to Nylon, Apple recalls his childhood connection to the label: “I remember when I was little I had so many kids with gaps. I’m so excited to walk past the huge London store. I’ve loved clothes since I was a baby.”
She added that the brand remains relevant throughout her lifetime. “The gap reminds me that as I get older, I think this is really unique. Many other brands can’t say they go from baby to adult.
