Did someone rip the time-space continuum?
(Or, hey, maybe it justconsciously uncoupled.)
Because just yesterdayGwyneth Paltrowannounced she and Chris Martin wereexpecting their first child together.
Then, the world blinked and that daughter, Apple Martin, turned into a teenager.
Paltrow put her glorious belly on display for a tastefully nude photo that personifies the beauty of pregnancy.
Paltrow definitely had that expectant mama glow, and why wouldn’t she?
The actress revealed in aGooppodcast that her pregnancy with Apple was “euphoric.”
But, hey, it’s the thought that counts, right?
“And I just thought, ‘Perfect!'”
“My daughter is super ballsy,” Paltrow told Samantha Bee forHarper’s Bazaarin 2016.
“I always follow her lead.
I actually don’t need to encourage her to take risks.
She likes to push herself; she wants to see how far she can get.
It’s really inspiring to see that in a young woman.”
In fact, according to Paltrow, Apple’s strong bond with her father formed fast and strong.
“When her daddy walks in the room he’ll say, ‘Hello girls!’
What’s that they say about the apple not falling far from the tree?
“Jacket game,” she captionedthe snapshotof the girls in colorful outerwear.
It’s no wonder that Paltrow doesn’t mind being the designated babysitter when it comes to these cuties.
“It’s really funny.
“Thank you for being the kind of #girlboss that you are.
And for being Apple Martins biggest inspiration.”
The following year, Paltrow confirmed toPeoplethat she’s more than okay with her daughter being a diehard Swiftie.
She’s a good girl,” Paltrow said of the country-turned-pop-star.
However, Apple is one of those kids who remarkably resemblesbothparents.
And while she may be her dad’s little doppelganger, she’s also her mom’s mini-me.
A quick glance atPaltrow’s Instagram feedwill quickly corroborate this assertion.
The mother-daughter duo often poses for pics together and, side-by-side, they’re total twinsies.
I just needed to be with her,” Paltrow toldGood Housekeepingin 2011.
So what did they do on this day-date?
“We went out to lunch, we went to the beauty salon, we were together.”
“Happy 13th birthday you gorgeous human.
You light up every room, my heart, the world.
I love you, schnapps,“Paltrow pennedto her precocious offspring.
And, oh, did we forget to mention texting and fashion, too?
Although Paltrow called it “an experiment” at the time, that mobile (and global!)
lifestyle seems to be working out perfectly fine for young Apple.
But when you’re Apple Martin, your enviable limbs apparently move with finesse.
Over the years, Paltrow has made numerous allusions on her IG feed to her daughter’s dancing skills.
In 2016,she showed Apple leaving a dance competitionafter the girl “crushed it.”
In February 2017, Apple Starbucks in hand was captured at a dance competitionin a seriously jazzy ensemble.
“Happy birthday, my darling girl.
You make everyday feel like Christmas morning.
“You are an amazing thinker and an incredible songwriter.
Thanks for still hanging out with me, even though you are 14.”
Paltrow understands how difficult these years can be, tellingTodayin 2017 that they were “brutal” for her.
Still, she feels confident Apple will come out on the other side of adolescence even better.
“I have to say, so far, Apple… she’s pretty great,” Paltrow gushed.
