Gwyneth Paltrow explains how she 'fell in love' with her baby girl Apple's name after Chris Martin suggested it

Gwyneth Paltrow recently opened about how her ex-husband Chris Martin did come up with her daughter Apple's name in a new Instagram Q n A on Friday, as well as why she adored the name and chose her daughter after a fruit.

During the question and answer session, a fan asked Paltrow how she came up with her daughter's unusual name, and Paltrow revealed that it was actually her ex-husband Chris Martin who recommended the name first. She said “Her dad came up with the name and I fell in love with it, I thought it was original and cool." She continued as she commented on her 17-year-old daughter's one of a kind name, "I can’t imagine her being called anything else.”

Meanwhile, Paltrow and Coldplay singer have a 16-year-old son named Moses. She is also the stepmother of her current husband Brad Falchuk's son Brody and daughter Isabella. Previously in March, the actress shared a screenshot of a video call she had with her daughter Apple in which she wished her a happy Women's Day.

Paltrow further said “I keep thinking about the women I have known since kindergarten or 7th grade, who are more strongly in my life than almost ever. But today I want to pay tribute to one (technically almost) woman on the cusp of it. This woman gives me hope for the future of sisterhood, and for the future of our planet. And this woman has made me the woman I am today more than anyone else.”
