Chris Martinis one proud dad — even if he mayembarrass his kidsfrom time to time.
The Coldplay frontman, 42, shared a sweet story about his daughter,Apple, during his appearance onTheEllen DeGeneresShowon Wednesday, recounting how the 15-year-old was mortified when he showed up to her work unannounced.
“My daughter works in a clothing store. It’s her first job, and she’s about to be 16 and I’m so proud of her,” he began. “She’s, you know, making her way in the world.”
“She was at the checkout — and there were two checkouts — that’s what you call them right? — and she saw me,” he told hostEllen DeGeneres, before mimicking Apple’s shocked face and mouthing, “Dad, get out.”
“And I felt terrible, so I moved to the other line,” Martin said with a laugh. “I was holding my T-shirt and really scared of my daughter.”
Though Apple didn’t end up helping him with his purchase, the “Fix You” singer revealed he did share a touching father-daughter moment with her as he was leaving the store.
“And I paid for the T-shirt, and I brought her some fudge,” Martin remembered. “So I said to the lady, ‘Can you just give this to my daughter?’ And as I was leaving, she shouted, ‘I love you, Dad!'”
In addition to Apple, Martin also shares son Moses, 13, with exGwyneth Paltrow.

For her part, Paltrow, 47, has also admitted to being hilariouslyembarrassingto her children. During an appearance onThe Rachael RayShowlast January, the actress revealed that she is no exception to being a “mortifying” presence around her kids.
“I am the most embarrassing person all of a sudden — no, it’s been a couple good years that I’ve been the most embarrassing person,” she shared of motherhood.
“If I do anything silly at all in public, the color drains from [Apple’s] face,” she explained. “Any silly jokes, or if I dance, like in a store, God forbid. She’s like, ‘Mom.’ I’m like, ‘Okay, sorry, got it.'”
