Exes Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin pose together in rare photo at daughter Apple’s Parisian debutante ball

<p>Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin posed together in a rare photo while attending their daughter Apple’s Parisian debutante ball. The former couple put on a united front while supporting their 20-year-old’s debut into society at the Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris via a photo posted to the “Iron Man” star’s Instagram on Sunday. The actress dolled up in a black semi-sheer dress, while the Coldplay frontman looked dapper in a black suit. Paltrow, 52, and Martin, 47, also beamed alongside their 18-year-old son, Moses, who sported a suit for the ritzy occasion. The Goop founder shared additional photos from the event, including a photo of herself and Apple adoring each other. The college junior wore a custom baby blue Valentino dress with a black bow on Saturday. The elegant gown, which took 750 hours to create, featured several layers of silk plissé chiffon and was finished off with a waist-grabbing black bow, per Vogue. The Le Bal des Débutantes is an invite-only ball hosted in Paris. The annual event serves to preserve the 18th-century English tradition of introducing women into society. Apple flew to Europe during her Thanksgiving break from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., where she is a third-year student, while Moses made his way across the pond from Brown University in Providence, RI. Over the years, Paltrow has opened up about the grief of being an empty nester once her two children went away to college. “It’s very different,” the wellness guru said via an Instagram Story in October. “I have waves of grief and sadness.” “I am kind of getting back in touch with this part of myself that I haven’t felt like since I was in my 20s before I had kids,” she added, explaining she is using her “imagination” to keep her busy. The “Emma” star described Apple fleeing the nest as similar to giving birth during an interview with “CBS Mornings” in September 2022. Paltrow and Martin welcomed their two kids while they were married from 2003 to 2016 . The “Shakespeare in Love” star has since moved on with husband Brad Falchuk, whom she wed in 2018 , while the “Fix You” crooner has been with actress Dakota Johnson since 2017 .</p>
