Holy Moses! Paltrow has boy

IT’S a boy for actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay singer Chris Martin.

Moses Martin, the couple's second child, was born during the weekend in New York City, the office of Paltrow publicist Stephen Huvane said yesterday.

No other information was being released.

The Shakespeare in Love Oscar winner is 33, the British-born Coldplay rocker is 29.

Their daughter, Apple, will be two years old on May 14.

After Apple's birth, Paltrow appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and said she didn't understand why people were making a big deal about her daughter's name.

Paltrow said it was Martin who came up with Apple.

"It conjured such a lovely picture for me you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical and I just thought it sounded so lovely and clean," Paltrow told Ms Winfrey.
