His parenting philosophy was to give his kids the skills to be grown-ups and the curiosity to ask the right questions. He taught them to remain true to their core self no matter where they get to in life and this has helped the Oscar winner to stay focused seeing she is at the pinnacle of her career.
He started directing stage performances in the late 1960s and it was there he met his wife Blythe Danner. They soon fell in love and tied the knot on December 14, 1969.

Moments like this and many more helped her the more she went on the career ladder.
Together with Bruce, the Paltrow parents remain the biggest influences in the life of their celebrity daughter.

Who are Gwyneth Paltrow’s children?
Apple Martin (daughter with Chris Martin)
Date of Birth: May 14, 2004
Zodiac Sign: Taurus
Apple is the splitting image of her mom but seems to be walking on a different career path. For kids with parents in two different lines of work, it might be a challenge deciding which to follow. Apple is not one of such kids as she is already an awesomely talented singer, there is no doubt she would be taking after her father’s profession. She has been involved in musical events since she was younger and has now appeared alongside her Coldplay front-man dad on different occasions and all she does is leave the crowd wowed by her voice. More than just being a singer, the pretty Martin daughter is super ballsy according to her mom.
Moses Bruce Athony Martin (son with Chris Martin)
Date of Birth: April 8, 2006
Zodiac Sign: Aries
Moses is the second child of the famous Pepper Potts from the Iron Man film series. Since the divorce, Gwyneth has been concerned as to whether or not she is doing a good job as a mother. Divorce was foreign to her as her own parents lived happily until the death of her dad. For a long time after their ‘conscious uncoupling’, Paltrow beat herself over but is now adjusting well into the role of a single mom.
