'Meddling’ Gwyneth Paltrow trying to set up daughter Apple Martin with Timothee Chalamet, claims source

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gwyneth Paltrow has reportedly taken up a new role in her daughter Apple Martin’s life - that too of setting her up with Timothee Chalamet, 28.

Apple, Paltrow’s daughter with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has confessed to her mother about her crush on Chalamet, the 'Iron Man' actress’ latest co-star, sources told Life & Style.

Paltrow has therefore taken it upon herself to set her daughter up on a date with the 'Dune' actor.

Gwyneth Paltrow plans to set up daughter Apple with Timothee Chalamet

According to sources, Gwyneth Paltrow is doing her utmost to make her daughter’s dream of going on a date with Timothee Chalamet come true.

“She’s not trying to match make them, per se, but she prides herself on making her kids' dreams come true, and thinks it’ll be great for everyone to hang out,” dished the source to the outlet.

After a five-year hiatus from major acting roles, Paltrow has recently taken on a substantial role in Josh Safdie's film 'Marty Supreme', where she stars alongside Timothee Chalamet.

According to another source, it was Apple who allegedly encouraged her mother to take on the role. Paltrow ultimately accepted the part after reading and loving the script.

The source continued that the ‘Little Women’ star’s charisma further inspired Paltrow to accept the acting job. “She actually shares her daughter’s opinion that Timothee is a super talented guy with heaps of charisma,” shared the source.

They added, “She loves that he has a New York background and comes from great stock.”

“She’s got big ambitions for her daughter and figures the more connections Apple can make, the better. Plus, as you can imagine, she’s quite the helicopter parent, so of course it thrills her to no end that Apple’s comfortable enough to reveal who she’s got a crush on and she’s pretty proud that she actually has the power to make this introduction happen,” said the insider. 

However, the source noted that while the Goop founder is eager to set her daughter up with Chalamet, she seems to overlook the fact that the 'Bones and All' actor is currently dating Kylie Jenner.

They explained, “Even though her kids are older she still loves to be as much a part of their social life as possible, and it doesn’t seem to occur to her that this is all a little bit insensitive given that Timothee has a girlfriend.”

Chalamet and ‘The Kardashians’ star have been dating since April 2023 and went public with their romance in September 2023 when they were photographed kissing at Beyonce’s concert in Los Angeles.

However, the source indicated that Chalamet's steady relationship with Jenner is not deterring Paltrow from trying to set her daughter up with him.

“That’s Gwyneth for you,” noted the source, before adding, “She’s always meddling without much thought to the consequences."

Gwyneth Paltrow’s acting hiatus brought to an end by Apple Martin

Gwyneth Paltrow last appeared in a significant role when she reprised her character Pepper Potts in the Marvel blockbuster 'Avengers: Endgame' in 2019.

While the ‘Shakespeare in Love’ actress previously declared that she was not much in a hurry to come back to acting, according to sources, she was inspired by Apple to take up the acting role alongside Chalamet. 

In early September, a source shared with Daily Mail, “As soon as Gwyneth told Apple that Timothée is not only a producer, but also the lead actor, she pleaded with her mom to accept.”

“After reading it and loving it, despite having no major wish to act right now, she was convinced by Apple, who intends to be on set as much as possible,” added the source.
