Being a teen can be tough stuff, and being a teen who happens to have celebrity parents probably means weathering more than your fair share of slings and arrows. But if Paltrow's 14th birthday post to her daughter is any indication, Apple isn't letting anything dim her light.
"Happy birthday, my darling girl. You make everyday feel like Christmas morning. You are the most vibrant, hilarious, twirling all over the place, beautiful (inside and out) young woman," Paltrow poured her heart out on Instagram in May 2018. "You are an amazing thinker and an incredible songwriter. Thanks for still hanging out with me, even though you are 14."
Paltrow understands how difficult these years can be, telling Today in 2017 that they were "brutal" for her. Still, she feels confident Apple will come out on the other side of adolescence even better. "I have to say, so far, Apple... she's pretty great," Paltrow gushed.
