Moses Martin came after sister Apple
According to The Guardian, Moses’ name was inspired by a Coldplay song called “Moses” in which Martin professes his love for Gwyneth. It is one of Martin’s favourite songs he likes to perform.
Music is in his blood
When Moses crashed Paltrow’s interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2020, Fallon asked if Moses was into music.
“I’m really into music … Right now I’d say I’m playing guitar the most – it used to be piano for a while, and now I’m doing guitar lessons,” he replied.
Moses’ collaboration with Jin is not the first time he’s helped out on a recording. He has lent his voice to Coldplay songs Adventure of a Lifetime, Humankind and Up&Up. He also co-wrote Orphans.

His accent is ‘half-Brooklyn and half-English’
When he was four, in 2010, Paltrow noticed that Moses spoke in two accents. At that time, she and the kids lived partly in the UK and partly in the US, per Digital Spy. She told Chelsea Handler on Chelsea’s Big Interview Special that Martin is half-Brooklyn and half-English, adding, “he’s got a really strange accent”.
In 2012, per Yahoo! News, Paltrow revealed she only lets her kids watch French or Spanish shows so that they can be exposed to foreign languages.
He’s not into his mother Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness advice
As the founder of Goop, Paltrow extends her knowledge of wellness to her kids. When she released her cookbook in 2010, Paltrow shared that she imposes a strict low-carb, gluten-free diet on her kids and favours home-made healthy meals, per Us Weekly. However, things seemed to have changed since then.
In a recent interview with E! Entertainment, Paltrow revealed that Moses isn’t interested in her advice: “He’s 16 and he will barely let me give him a vitamin,” she said.
“It’s also like, knowing when to relent and give him his space,” she added.

He bonds with dad Chris Martin over sports and music
Although Chris is now divorced from Paltrow, he still makes the effort to co-parent and spend time with the kids. Father and son watched the LA Lakers in 2016, for instance, according to PopSugar, as well as a Golden State Warriors vs Brooklyn Nets game later the same year.
In the same year, Moses joined his dad onstage to sing Twenty One Pilots’ House of Gold for a fundraiser in Malibu, California.
Other than his dad, Moses idolises rapper Jay-Z who is a close friend of Martin’s, and even called him “uncle” when he was seven, according to E! Online.
