Gwyneth Paltrow‘s first born is all grown up.

Instagram is where the actress posted a message to her daughter to say “hello” Apple a very happy 18th birthday, admitting she was at a “loss for words” at the milestone.

On May 14, the 49-yearold shared her pride with Apple, writing “I could never be more proud” and a photograph of Apple staring into the mirror. Your life is everything that I ever imagined and much more. It’s not enough to say that I’m proud of you. My heart is filled with emotions I cannot put into words. “You are extraordinary in every aspect.”

Then she said, “Happy Birthday my sweet girl. You are so special and have given me so much joy. I am especially grateful. I say it all the time and I will never stop… in the words of auntie Drew, I was born the day you were born. You are my best friend.”
