Early life
[edit]Apple Blythe Alison Martin was born in London, England on 14 May 2004, as the elder child and only daughter to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and his then-wife,[1] Gwyneth Paltrow, an actress and businesswoman.[2][3] She has a younger brother, Moses Bruce Paltrow Martin (born 8 April 2006).[4][5] Her maternal grandmother is Blythe Danner, an actress.[6] Her parents divorced in 2016, when she was 12 years old.[7]
Martin first came to media attention within hours of her birth due to her unique name.[8] Her father and his band released a song called "I am your baby's daddy" under the name "the Nappies" in anticipation of her birth.[9] Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" was also inspired by her father's experience and awe at becoming a first time father, being the lead single for the band's X&Y album.[10] Simon Pegg and Jonny Buckland are her godfathers.[11][12]
Martin attended Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, California, leaving in 2017, after a series of incidents took place.[13][14] She graduated from Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California in 2022.[15] She has attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, since September 2022. She is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.[16]
