- Like his dad, Moses Martin—the son of actress and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay’s Chris Martin—is hitting the road this summer on tour with his band Dancer.
- On July 28, Moses took his Instagram followers behind-the-scenes of life on the road.
- Moses, 19, is a student at Brown University.
Moses Martin—the son of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin—has seen both of his parents dominate the headlines in July. He likely hasn’t had the chance to pay too close attention though as, like his dad—the frontman of the band Coldplay—Moses, too, is touring across the country.
Moses, 19, has been touring with his band Dancer across the U.S. for the past several months; in addition to life as a musician, Moses is also a student at Brown University, an Ivy League school.
In an Instagram post shared on July 28, Moses took fans behind-the-scenes on tour, and his mom shared her support, commenting with a red heart emoji.
Coldplay dominated headlines in the latter part of July after a show in Boston—specifically the kiss cam—exposed an alleged affair that left two high-up executives at Astronomer resigning in its aftermath. A new biography of Paltrow by journalist Amy Odell was released on July 29—with many headlines accompanying it—and Paltrow herself, in a cheeky turn of events, was hired by Astronomer for a recent ad explaining more about the company in the wake of the kiss cam scandal.
Moses plays guitar for Dancer and shared photos of the group performing, as well as life offstage, as well. “Music music music music,” Moses captioned the carousel of images on Monday.

For Moses’s 19th birthday in April, Paltrow wrote on Instagram that her son was “a dream come true”: “You are deeply kind and brilliant,” the actress and Goop founder wrote. “You have an incredible intellect and you are so gifted, so talented. I listen to your music on repeat and miss you so much at college. And today more than ever. I love you my boy.”
Speaking to Vanity Fair earlier this year, Paltrow said of Moses and her daughter, Apple Martin, that they are “down-to-earth,” noting that “College is a great equalizer.”
“Look, they’re the children of two super-famous people, and so they understand what comes with that,” she said. “They’ve grown up in it. You would be surprised at how lovely and unassuming and down-to-earth they are.”

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Paltrow opened up about becoming an empty nester after both of her kids left for college, telling the outlet that “on the one hand” she felt “incredible sadness” and a “deep sense of impending grief.”
“On the other hand, this is exactly what should be happening,” she continued. “Your kids are supposed to be, you know, young adults who can achieve and cope and make connections and be resilient. That’s exactly what you want. And that means they leave the house.”
