- Place/Date of Birth: Los Angeles, California , 27 September 2020
- Assiociated with: Chris Martin
Bizarrely named Apple Blythe Alison Martin was reportedly delivered at St John and St Elizabeth’s - hospital to the stars - in trendy St John’s Wood. The tot obviously thrived on her mum’s macrobiotic diet and yoga lifestyle - though Gwynnie’s plans to give birth in a purpose-built pool at her home were obviously abandoned in favour of pain relief and a comfy hospital bed.
Apple is the first grandchild for Paltrow’s mum Blythe Danner, who is said to the thrilled - although saddened - that her husband Bruce (who died in 2002) could not be here to share the good news. Gwyneth recently told an interviewer that she didn’t agree with mum’s returning to work after having children, so don’t expect to see her on the big screen for a few years to come. I bet her agent’s thrilled! By Hannah Mills

The actress also took the opportunity to tell us her thoughts on first moving to the UK "I didn’t like the people. I didn’t like the food. I didn’t like the sense of humour." We’re just glad to hear that the Sylvia actress knows what a sense of humour is.

The Paltrows moved to Manhattan, New York when Gwyneth was 11 years old, where she would watch her Tony award-winning mother perform at theatre festivals, inspiring the young Gwyneth to become an actress herself, an ambition which resulted in a starring role in a production of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Gwyneth returned to Los Angeles in order to attend the University of California in Santa Barbara as an art history major. While her first film role was in the 1991 film Shout, with John Travolta, her big break came along when she went out one night with her father and family friends Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.
Big league director Spielberg was in the process of casting for his film Hook and that night, he offered Gwyneth the role of Wendy, which she instantly accepted. After her role in Hook, also starring Robin Williams and Julia Roberts, she was cast as the lead in the 1992 mini-series Cruel Doubt.
The budding actress’ resume was soon filling up, with roles in Malice, Flesh and Bone, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, Jefferson in Paris, and Moonlight and Valentino. Although audiences were beginning to take notice of Gwyneth, the film that threw her into the spotlight was her role as Brad Pitt’s girlfriend in the thriller Seven, which is where the highly photogenic couple met and fell in love. For a while anyway.
Following this she worked on films including The Pallbearer, Great Expectations, Sliding Doors and A Perfect Murder, although her star status was really confirmed when she accepted the Best Actress Oscar in (some say fake) floods of tears.
After a brief hiatus, Gwyneth returned to the big-screen in the beautifully shot The Talented Mr. Ripley, as Jude Law’s good-hearted girlfriend. And since has filmed Shallow Hal, Sylvia and View From The Top. Following a move to swanky Belgravia where she spends time drinking herbal tea, following a macrobiotic diet and doing Yoga with best mates Madonna and Stella McCartney, Gwynnie fell in love with Coldplay singer Chris Martin who she secretly married late in 2003 while preganant with his baby, which is due this summer.
