Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin reunite for daughter Apple's 12th birthday


May 16, 2016

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have been putting their children first since they "consciously uncoupled" two years ago. And over the weekend the friendly exes met up to celebrate their daughter Apple's 12th birthday.

The Shakespeare in Love star and the Coldplay frontman enjoyed a day out with their kids in Disneyland, but it sounds like some of the rides were a bit too much for the parents.

Gwyneth, 43, shared a picture of herself and Chris backing out of the iconic Thunder Mountain rollercoaster.

"When your parents can't handle #thundermountain anymore so they wait for you at the bottom," wrote Gwyneth alongside the Instagram snap.

Despite their split, the doting parents couldn't have looked happier, posing alongside one another in the "happiest place on Earth".

It sure was a weekend of celebrating for Gwyneth and her family. Her daughter Apple was treated to a birthday brunch with her "squad" including Beyoncé and Jay Z's four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

Fans were quick to point out how similar Apple looks to her mother, with one Instagram user writing, "How gorgeous is Apple!" while another wrote, "Wow!! Your daughter looks just like you. So beautiful!"

The Goop creator also shared a photo of Apple from her second birthday to mark the occasion. "Here she is 10 years ago today on what was her second birthday. Happy birthday, Apple Martin, great love of my life," wrote Gwyneth.

Chris and Gwyneth's reunion comes shortly after the couple are believed to have finalised their divorce. The actress filed for divorce in 2015 and Chris was allegedly served the paperwork, but he didn't respond until March of this year.

"Chris has now signed the divorce papers," a source told The Sun. "There was no underlying reason why he had left them for so long and he was planning to do it eventually."

The insider added: "There is no bad blood between him and Gwyneth and they remain very close. As ever, their number one priority is their kids."
