A Magical Night at Le Bal des Débutantes
Chris Martin, 47, described Apple’s debutante ball in November as a surreal yet beautiful experience. “It’s so not something I ever thought I’d do,” he admitted to Rolling Stone. “But because I’m so in love with her, I’m like, ‘OK.’” The Coldplay singer joined ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, their son Moses, and Paltrow’s mother, Blythe Danner, at the prestigious Le Bal des Débutantes on November 30.
The family coordinated their looks in custom Valentino ensembles. Apple’s breathtaking gown reportedly took 750 hours to create, as revealed by Vogue. The event featured an unforgettable father-daughter dance where Chris and Apple shared laughs and tender moments.
Balancing Humor and Love as a Father
Beyond the glamorous night, Martin showcased his lighthearted approach to parenting. He joked about teasing his 18-year-old son Moses during outings. “If someone comes up to us and says, ‘I’m sorry to disturb you while you’re with your son,’ I’ll say, ‘That’s not my son. That’s my partner,’” he quipped.

Despite the humor, Martin made it clear how much he cherishes his children. “I like them a lot. Even though they’re not biologically mine—I’m breaking the story now,” he joked before clarifying, “I think they are mine, to be fair.”
The Empty Nest Transition
With Apple and Moses now in college, Martin reflected on life as an empty nester. “It’s sad, but of course, it’d be weirder if they were still like, ‘I can’t leave.’ Then you’d be more worried,” he said.
Martin’s musings resonated with fans, offering a relatable take on the bittersweet nature of watching children grow up and move on.
