As summer comes to a close, Gwyneth Paltrow is cherishing the memories made during the season. The 51-year-old actress recently shared a heartfelt video montage on her Instagram, giving her followers a peek into her fun-filled summer with her kids, Apple and Moses.
On September 2, Paltrow posted the reel with the caption, “Summer was good to us,” featuring a soundtrack by Father John Misty. The montage includes clips of her helicopter ride with her 18-year-old son Moses and delightful selfies with her 20-year-old daughter Apple.

Cameos in the video include her ex-husband, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and her current partner, American Horror Story co-creator Brad Falchuk, who has two kids of his own, Isabella, 19, and Brody, 17. One particularly sweet moment captured Paltrow posing with both of her kids, highlighting their familial resemblance.
The video also showcased Paltrow having a great time with friends like Reese Witherspoon and Rashida Jones, capturing the essence of summer fun.
Fans flooded the comments with affection for the family, with one writing, “OMG that picture of Chris and Moses is utterly adorable. What a wonderful summer ❤️,” while another added, “What a good summer indeed 🥧.” Others simply expressed their admiration with comments like “Gorgeous 🔥” and “❤️ Pure joy!”
This vacation marks a significant change for Paltrow, who is adjusting to life as an empty nester. With Moses heading to Brown University and Apple already at Vanderbilt, she and Brad are settling into a quieter home life.
In a candid interview with The Sunday Times earlier this year, Paltrow reflected on her changing family dynamics, noting, “In the fall Brad and I have boys that will be going off to university,” highlighting the transition they are all facing.
She quipped about the adjustments to their morning routine without kids around, revealing a whole new chapter in their family life.
