Gwyneth Paltrow has been told off in the past by her daughter Apple Martin for sharing pictures of her without her consent, but the pair seem to have found a good middle ground.

Paltrow, who rarely shares pictures of her family, posted some beautiful sixteenth birthday portraits of Apple to Instagram.

Calling her the “light of my heart” and apologising for having to celebrate “this particular birthday during these [quarantine] circumstances”, Apple was seen in the pictures posing in a white floral dress and holding up her bandaged finger.

Saying that she was “so damn lucky to be your mother”, Paltrow wrote, “I can’t believe I’m actually writing these words but... happy sweet sixteen my darling girl.”

“You are wickedly intelligent and you have the best, most dry, most brilliant sense of humour. I have the best time being your mom. I love our nightly evening chats when I really get to hear what’s on your mind,” she continued.

“You work hard to get whatever it is you want to achieve, and you have grit and responsibility in spades.”

“Thank you for choosing me,” Paltrow finished, “I adore you to the moon and back a zillion times. I’m sorry you are having this particular birthday during these circumstances, but as always with you, you find the best in everything.”

Apple is Paltrow’s daughter from her previous marriage with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who both famously declared that they had decided to “consciously uncouple” in 2014. The pair have continued to co-parent their children - Moses and Apple - and remain friendly.

Last year, Apple made headlines when Paltrow shared a holiday picture of her on social media. It wasn’t the picture so much as it was her response, as Apple commented below, “Mom we have discussed this. You may not post anything without my consent.”

In response, Paltrow wrote, “You can’t even see your face!”

Apple’s comment was later deleted, per the Guardian.

Paltrow is currently married to producer Brad Falchuk, while Martin is dating actress Dakota Johnson.

Paltrow is known to be friends with Johnson, as the pair have been seen previously at dinner together and a source claimed to E! that Johnson had a "great relationship" with both Paltrow as well as her and Martin's children.
