A little over a month after Gwyneth Paltrow revealed what her and Chris Martin’s kids think of their parenting style, the English singer was spotted hanging out with their son.
On Monday, June 16, 2025, superstar musician Chris Martin, 48, and his rarely-seen 19-year-old son, Moses Martin, spent some quality time together in New York City. Photos of the father-son duo strolling along the streets prompted online chatter about their appearances and lookalike discussions.
Both father and son exuded an effortlessly cool vibe with their stylish ensembles. The Coldplay frontman kept things sleek in an all-black ensemble including a casual blazer, dark T-shirt, matching pants, and shoes. He accessorized with sunglasses and a pendant necklace, which added just the right touch of rockstar edge.
Meanwhile, Moses — who towered slightly over his dad — opted for a cream knit sweater paired with slate-blue slacks, brown leather boots, and shades. With his tousled hair and modelesque presence, the teenager cut a striking figure that turned heads.
The sighting of the Martin men quickly stirred a flurry of online reactions, with fans zeroing in on everything from Moses’ impressive height to his striking features. “He’s towering him,” one person pointed out, while another opined, “The kid looks like a model.”
Several observers couldn’t help but draw familial comparisons, with one netizen stating, “Looks like his mother,” and someone else reiterating the comment.
Some viewers took a more sentimental tone, like one admirer who wrote, “Little Moses (born in 2006) is he is taller than daddy Chris now. Enjoy some peaceful time with your son. Don’t cut your hair, so you look younger, your curls are kiss-attracting, they are irresistible [sic].”
Other spectators joined in with side-by-side assessments, noting that Moses shares features with his sister, Apple Martin, especially in the eyes.
Meanwhile, one observer asserted that Moses does not look like his dad, but is still handsome. Another suggested he resembles a version of A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio. Amid the praise, there was also a touch of unsolicited concern, with one viewer opining that Moses needs to see a chiropractor for his posture.
The public fascination with Moses’ appearance and presence during his rare outing with his dad came at a fitting time — just weeks after his mother, Gwyneth Paltrow, offered a rare glimpse into how she and Chris’ children view the way they were raised.
In a May interview with E! News, the Oscar winner and Goop founder shared that both Moses and his older sister hold the parenting approach she and Chris have embraced over the years in high regard. She also noted that what once seemed unconventional in the realm of parenting has now become widely accepted.
“They are very proud of the iconoclastic approach that we have taken in the past,” Gwyneth explained, recalling how she would share wellness and lifestyle ideas through Goop that initially sparked confusion or even skepticism. “And now they’re so mainstream,” she said.
Now 52, Gwyneth continues to blend personal and professional wellness initiatives — most recently through her collaboration with Genesis House in New York City, where she launched “The Forest Within,” an immersive nature experience.
Still, at the heart of her most meaningful work lies her role as a mother. “My kids are really proud of the fact that we’re always kind of first in this space,” she added, reinforcing how closely Moses Martin and Apple identify with their upbringing.
Reflecting further, Gwyneth described her co-parenting approach with Chris Martin as one that carefully balances structure with creative freedom.
“We try to always strike a balance,” the entrepreneur noted, emphasizing the importance of manners and education as the foundation of their household. “I want a lot of expression and individuality and [sic] freedom running through that structure. So, that’s kind of how we looked at it.”
According to the actress, that blend of discipline and artistic freedom has helped Moses and Apple evolve into thoughtful, expressive young adults, who Gwyneth Paltrow thinks will follow in their parents’ entertainment footsteps.”They are definitely artist souls,” she divulged. “I do think that [a] mix of structure and art is really coming through in who they are now. They’re both academic, and yet they have these beautiful free spirits and [sic] I think they will pursue art, which I think is wonderful.”
Her love and pride for her children are also regularly on display through her active presence on social media.
Whether it’s sweet birthday tributes, photos from graduation celebrations, sun-soaked summer trips, cozy holiday gatherings, or candid moments with her blended family — including stepchildren Isabella and Brody Falchuk, from her husband Brad Falchuk’s previous marriage — Gwyneth consistently highlights the deep emotional bonds within her home.
Each post further reinforces the image of a family nurtured by authenticity, mutual respect, and creative curiosity.
