Apple Martin, the 22-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, was photographed engaging in a public display of affection with an unidentified man in The Hamptons, New York. The couple was seen sharing a passionate kiss while on a shopping outing during the recent holiday weekend.
Martin, a British model and aspiring actress, appeared stylish in an all-white ensemble, including a long-sleeved top and midi skirt, complemented by black sandals and a distinctive tan and red bag. Her companion wore a vintage white Japan Football Association polo shirt from the 2002 FIFA World Cup. The two were observed walking hand-in-hand after their kiss, continuing their stroll together.
This sighting follows previous indications of a connection between Martin and the man. In May, Martin posted a photo on her Instagram Stories of herself with the same dark-haired individual, with his arm around her inside a pub. Although she did not identify him, reports suggested she may have been interacting with former Vanderbilt University classmate Andrew Smith on social media around that time. A person matching the description was also seen behind Martin and her mother at her college graduation ceremony in late May.
The relationship appears to have been ongoing for at least a year, as the pair was previously photographed together at a beach in The Hamptons in August 2025. While Martin has not publicly confirmed any romantic relationships, she has been linked to others. In late 2024, she attended Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris with Count Leo Henckel von Donnersmarck. Her mother, Gwyneth Paltrow, previously mentioned that Martin had a crush on actor Jacob Elordi, who is now dating Kendall Jenner.
Martin has been focusing on her burgeoning career. In May, she appeared in a summer campaign for the French fashion house Chloé. Creative director Chemena Kamali described the campaign as an "ode to a surreal summer fantasy," noting Martin's "radiance and timeless beauty." The project was shot by photographer David Sims.
Martin has spoken about drawing fashion inspiration from her mother, telling Vogue that Paltrow's independent approach to style influenced her. Paltrow has also discussed saving clothes for her daughter over the years, recalling specific moments and circumstances associated with each item. She expressed pride in Martin's developing personal style, stating that her daughter has a strong sense of self and that the best advice she can offer is to "unabashedly be herself."
