Gwyneth Paltrow recently delighted her 8.6 million Instagram followers with a heartwarming family photo featuring her two kids, Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, during a Q&A session.
When a fan asked to see her latest photo with her youngest child, the 51-year-old actress shared a stunning shot of herself standing between her two kids, who she shares with ex-husband Chris Martin, on a quiet countryside road.
In the image, Apple, who stands at 5’8″, looks statuesque next to her mother, smiling softly at the camera while wearing a red and white gingham dress. Meanwhile, Moses, who bears a strong resemblance to his rocker father, stands beside Paltrow, looking stylish in a maroon polo and tan trousers.

Paltrow looked elegant in a blue button-down shirt, which she kept partially unbuttoned, paired with white flared pants.
Later during her Q&A series, she was asked to reveal the trait she loves most about her kids and what she worries about the most. In response, she said in a video: “I think my kids both really know themselves very well, and that’s a trait about them that I both love and admire.”
The Shakespeare in Love star continued: “And I guess one I worry about for both of them is anxiety. This is, as we know, the anxious generation. So that’s probably what I worry about.”

Despite their divorce, Chris and Gwyneth have remained friendly co-parents to their two children, with the actress admitting to feeling anxious about becoming an empty nester as Moses prepares to attend Brown University in Rhode Island.
Moses’ departure will mark a significant change for Gwyneth, who has centered her life around her children’s schedules. She confessed that the thought of it is giving her a “nervous breakdown.”
Gwyneth explained that she’s trying to come to terms with her new role, saying: “You start to let go in increments when they’re driving themselves around or doing certain things. It is a slower process.”

Gwyneth recently opened up about the importance of maintaining a harmonious co-parenting relationship with Chris, saying: “We both really did not want to have them experience the divorce as a trauma.”
The actress revealed that she collected data from adults who came from broken homes, which helped her understand what her kids might need from her and Chris during their separation.
Gwyneth explained: “Every single one of them said: ‘I didn’t care that my parents got divorced. That wasn’t it. But the fact that they wouldn’t speak to each other, that they couldn’t both sit at a dinner table for my birthday…’ They said that was the most awful thing.”
She continued: “You could see they held it with so much hurt and anger. I was like: ‘That’s what I’m never going to do.’ And we really didn’t.”
