Gwyneth Paltrow's Topless Cooking Video Gets a Cheeky Response from Daughter Apple Martin, 21

As the Goop founder embraces a new phase of life, navigating an empty nest, rebooting her film career, and reshaping her wellness empire, she’s also finding playful, very public ways to express herself.

On Sunday, Gwyneth Paltrow shared a cheeky video of herself cooking a Tuscan-inspired high-protein breakfast. The actress was topless, wearing only a pair of shorts, in the kitchen in the first few seconds of the video.

The video, set to Prince's "Starfish and Coffee (2020 Remaster)," showed Paltrow preparing a skillet filled with sausage from a local butcher, white beans, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and eggs.

In the caption, she wrote, "This was a Tuscan-inspired high-protein #boyfriendbreakfast skillet with sausage from the local butcher, white beans, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and of course eggs."

While fans flooded the comments with praise for the 51-year-old’s glowing confidence and signature wellness vibe, it was Apple’s witty reply that stole the show, "Did I steal your shirt by accident or…"

The dry humor and relatable daughterly sass sparked laughs across the platform, with many followers cheering on the candid mother-daughter exchange.

Gwyneth has long been vocal about embracing aging, wellness, and body confidence, so this lighthearted topless moment felt perfectly on-brand. It also reminded fans that even Hollywood royalty can embarrass their kids with a single Instagram post.

Apple, whom Gwyneth shares with ex-husband Chris Martin, typically maintains a low profile. But when she does pop up, especially to poke fun at her mom’s social media antics, it’s almost always a fan favorite.

Later that day, Gwyneth shared a carousel post, this time in celebration of Father's Day. "To the fathers who’ve shaped my life and our family—kept us steady, made us laugh, and shown up endlessly with so much heart. Happy Father’s Day," she wrote.

While many fans joined her in honoring the dads in their lives, some comments took a turn, calling out Jerry Seinfeld, who appeared in the carousel, for his political views on Gaza, igniting a flurry of debate beneath an otherwise heartfelt tribute.

This isn't the first time Paltrow has opened up about family life. In a recent appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," she reflected on her changing role as a mother now that both Apple and Moses are entering adulthood:

"It's incredible. You feel so proud that you've raised kids who know who they are, who have good manners, and who will hopefully be great citizens."

Still, the transition hasn't been easy, "I'm kind of gingerly feeling out this new space while also being really sad that they're not in the house anymore," she admitted.

In a 2025 interview, Gwyneth also spoke candidly to Vanity Fair about balancing motherhood with her return to acting. After what she calls a "soft retirement," she's stepping back into the spotlight in "Marty Supreme."

This will be her first major film role in 15 years. The 1950s-set Ping-Pong comedy, directed by Josh Safdie, stars Timothée Chalamet as a slick hustler and Gwyneth as his love interest.

Facing self-doubt about her comeback, the actress leaned on longtime friend Cameron Diaz for advice. She told me, 'Think about the richness and the deepening of your life. That’s all material,'" Paltrow recalled.

While embracing this new chapter, she's also navigating challenges as the CEO of Goop. The lifestyle brand recently underwent a wave of layoffs and restructuring.

On the home front, she's preparing for a big move—from her longtime Brentwood estate to a new home in Montecito—as her children fly the nest.

Whether she's in a Hollywood film, making wellness content, or cracking jokes with her daughter on Instagram, Gwyneth continues to live and share her life unapologetically.
