On Tuesday (May 14), the Goop founder honored her daughter in a birthday message, expressing shock at the fact that her little girl is now 20.
“Happy 20th birthday! How can it be that you are 20 today? It feels surreal! You are the most extraordinary, the most hilarious, the most brilliant,” the mom-of-two sweetly penned.Check out Paltrow’s birthday post to Apple below:
The Iron Man actress revealed one random fact about Apple, writing: “I love your WWII insights as much as I love your physical comedy,” before adding: “You are the most fun to be with and you have always been.
“From those days when it was always you and me to now, you are my lil ride or die. You are everything to me and I am so proud of you. Have the best day, my peanut,” she concluded.
Paltrow’s comment about World War II left many people baffled as they rushed to the comment section to share their reactions.
One stunned user wrote: “Her WHAT insights?????” while another confused person said: “Her WWII insights…?”
A third commented: “Is she pro or against WWII,” and a fourth added: “Am I the only [one] curious about @applemartin WWII thoughts?”
Ahead of Apple’s big birthday, the Shakespeare In Love star reflected on what it’s like watching her children grow up, and the bond she now shares with them.
“It’s amazing as a parent how your relationship continues to evolve through all of their different chapters,” she told E! News. “She’s an adult woman now, so we relate to each other like that.
“Of course, I’m always her mama, and she comes to me for those things too. But it’s very interesting to really watch her step into herself as a grown woman,” she added.
She revealed that she consults her daughter for opinions on her beauty and wellness line good.clean.goop.
“She influences everything I do,” Paltrow shared. “I run everything by her. I value her opinion so much, and she’s also such a product person – especially with makeup, much more so than I am. I’m very minimal. So as we go more into color, she’s the person I rely on the most.”
