It's not often that Gwyneth Paltrow features her kids on her social media, so fans are gushing over her recent post for daughter Apple Martin's birthday.

The actress shared Instagram photos of her oldest child with ex-husband Chris Martin wishing her a happy 16th birthday, according to the New York Post.

"I can't believe I'm actually writing these words but … happy sweet 16 my darling girl," Paltrow, 47, wrote in the caption.

"You are the light of my heart, you are pure joy. You are wickedly intelligent and you have the best, most dry, most brilliant sense of humour.

"I have the best time being your mum. I love our nightly evening chats when I really get to hear what's on your mind.

I can’t believe I’m actually writing these words but... happy sweet sixteen my darling girl. You are the light of my heart, you are pure joy. You are wickedly intelligent and you have the best, most dry, most brilliant sense of humor. I have the best time being your mom. I love our nightly evening chats when I really get to hear what’s on your mind. You work hard to get whatever it is you want to achieve, and you have grit and responsibility in spades. I am so damn lucky to be your mother, you beautiful, kind young woman. Thank you for choosing me. I adore you to the moon and back a zillion times. I’m sorry you are having this particular birthday during these circumstances, but as always with you, you find the best in everything. 💝

Paltrow also shares son Moses, 14, with Coldplay's Chris Martin.

The 16-year-old recently trolled her mum over her GOOP store's more unique items, writing up her own version of her Paltrow's quarantine to-do list.

"Make more vagina eggs & candles," she wrote.

Paltrow's wellness company Goop was notoriously endorsed egg-shaped jade and rose quartz stones to insert into the vagina for hormone balance and other health benefits.

Another of the store's products, a $75 candle titled "This Smells Like My Vagina" also went viral.
