Oh, to be a fake baby!
At just 22 years old, Apple Martin, the only daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, looked like she already had it this week as they kissed a handsome young man while shopping in the millionaires’ playground of East Hampton, on New York’s Long Island.
Presumably a day away from mother $5.4 million mansion in neighboring town Amagansett, Apple — who wants to be an actress and also spent time in Hollywood this summer filming a new Nancy Meyers movie — wrapped her tanned arms around the dark-haired guy who chivalrously carried her shopping bag from the chic pajama store Eberjey.
The sighting immediately sparked curiosity about the identity of Apple’s mysterious new man — and how serious this romance could be.
The gentleman in question is New York-based Moshe Levi, who appears to be a year older than his girlfriend and comes from a “good family that wants to make a difference in the world,” a well-placed source confirmed to the Daily Mail.
They met at Vanderbilt University over a year ago [in Nashville] and they have been quite in love ever since. They are adorable together and seem to have a very passionate relationship,” the source added.

“They met over a year ago at Vanderbilt University and have been quite in love ever since,” says a source.
“Apple and Moshe are very much in love and are truly rooted in the fact that they are both building a great future together,” said another insider.
Part of the appeal to Levi was the lack of Hollywood gloss that Apple grew up with.
“Moshe has a business degree and he’s going into philanthropy, so there’s nothing Hollywood about him, he doesn’t even live in Los Angeles,” the source said. “He lives in New York City and hangs out in the Hamptons.”
But he’s already gotten close to Apple’s A-list world.
‘He met good friends from Apple, such as Sascha Seinfeld and Destry Spielberg. He’s been floating around her world for a while. “Everyone seems to agree,” the source said.
‘Moshe visited Apple on the set of her new Nancy Meyers film Paris Paramount. He wanted to be there for her and says he is proud of her.’
Insiders say the couple have particularly enjoyed getting to know each other while travelling, having already completed a series of jet-setting trips.
‘He is very international and likes to visit other countries, just like them. They have already traveled the world together, taking trips to France and Italy,” the source said.
The two have been dating for over a year, as he is seen with Apple in the Hamptons in August 2025

And Apple’s family seems more than happy with the relationship.
“He attended Apple’s graduation ceremony at Vanderbilt in May,” the source said. “He had already graduated last year, so he didn’t have a cap and gown on.”
That proved he’d already spent time with mom Gwyneth and dad Chris, as well as Apple’s stepdad Brad Falchuk and brother Moses Martin, who were all at the graduation ceremony.
“He already knows Apple’s family, I know he’s been around them a lot,” the source said, noting that Levi lives up to the exacting standards of Apple’s famous mother.
“Gwyneth approves of this man because he comes from a good family and has always been there. He’s not some guy she met in a bar,” the source said. ‘He also has impeccable manners and takes an interest in business and politics. He is well-read and college-educated, and Gwyneth likes that.”
Also in May, Apple shared a photo of her being hugged by Levi
In March, the budding star could be seen snuggling up to a man on a boat
The source continued, “Gwyneth also likes that he’s not an actor, just because actors travel a lot. Apple is the one acting, her partner shouldn’t be doing that. It’s best to have one actor in the couple, not two actors.’
A second source remained full of praise: “Gwyneth and Chris think highly of Moshe. They have both hung out with him several times and they both realize that he is very special to Apple and they love that he is both well educated and on his way to being very successful.
‘He is very enterprising and speaks several languages. He’s almost someone Gwyn and Chris would mold for their daughter if they ever set her up with someone. He is a multi-layered and successful boyfriend that most families would fall in love with.”
Levi also has an international flair, which Paltrow approves of.
His family is from Peru and Levi has already lived in other countries when he attended the English boarding school Radley College, where he played football and cricket. He then studied at the bilingual International School of Monaco, which is one of the best private schools in Europe.
The two still seem to be taking their time going public. When Apple attended the Estee Lauder fragrance event in New York City on Thursday, she went solo
Apple seems eager to show off the relationship as she has already flashed two photos of him on her Instagram.
In one snap, taken on the street outside a restaurant, Levi hugged her from behind – while another saw her snuggled up in a red string bikini as he sat on a boat.
But the two still seem to be taking their time complete audience. When Apple attended an Estee Lauder event in New York on Thursday, she went solo.
“Don’t expect them to make an official red carpet appearance anytime soon,” says a source. “Apple wants to keep their romance under the radar for now.”
“She still wants to keep their relationship as private as possible, but she also understands that will be difficult given who she is,” another insider said.
“She’s not necessarily surprised that people are curious about them, and she knows there will continue to be interest in their relationship and their life together. Just don’t expect them to be at future Coldplay concerts, especially since her father has been known to expose relationships of his own.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives from Apple and Paltrow for comment.
