Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, recently shared his heartfelt experience of attending his daughter Apple’s debutante ball in Paris. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, Martin revealed how far out of his comfort zone the event was but expressed that his love for Apple made the occasion deeply special. “It’s so not something I ever thought I’d do, but because I’m so in love with her, I’m like, ‘OK,’” he admitted.
A Rare Family Appearance
The event marked a rare family reunion as Martin was joined by his ex-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and Apple’s grandmother, Blythe Danner. Together, they attended the prestigious event in support of Apple, who shone in Valentino. The evening included a memorable father-daughter dance, a cherished moment Martin shared with his daughter.
Martin’s Signature Humor
Martin’s interview also showcased his playful side. Reflecting on his relationship with his children, Apple and Moses, he humorously joked, “I like [my kids] very much. Even though they’re not biologically mine — I’m breaking the story now.” He added, “Yeah, I like them a lot. I think they are mine, to be fair.”
Martin also shared a favorite prank he plays on his son Moses, pretending he is his partner when approached by strangers.
