Apple Martin’s daddy wasn’t so far away for this special occasion.
In fact, Chris Martin was sure to be right next to his and his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow’s 20-year-old daughter at the Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris.
The soirée was “so not something I ever thought I’d do,” the Coldplay frontman admitted to Rolling Stone in an interview published Dec. 19, “but because I’m so in love with her, I’m like, ‘OK.'”
It also helped that the milestone brought the whole family together in November, including their 18-year-old son Moses, who’s currently attending Brown University.
“It’s sad,” Chris, 47, said of their kids being away from home. “That’s the only word. But of course, it’d be weirder if they were still like, ‘I can’t leave.’ Then you’d be more worried.”
Although Apple’s debut to high society was a cherished memory for the Martin-Paltrow clan, she also faced online backlash for giving “mean girl” energy at the event after seemingly stepping into the frame of fellow debutante Aliénor Loppin de Montmort’s solo picture.
