FLUFF: Gwyneth celebrates her son's birthday with perfect selfie.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin‘s baby boy Moses is 8 years old today and his mama has shared an incredibly rare photo of a mother-son cuddle.

Gwyneth, 41, posted this cute black and white snap on her Instagram, and the internet has gone into meltdown because…

a) It’s adorable to the maximum, obviously;

b) Gwyneth’s wedding ring is extremely prominent in the shot despite her recent ‘conscious uncoupling’ from Chris Martin;

c) We very rarely see photographic evidence of Gwyn’s kids as she likes to keep ’em relatively private;

d) Gwyneth’s not wearing a stitch of make-up, and you know that’s everyone’s favourite kind of celebrity photograph.

“Moses Bruce Paltrow Martin turns 8 today. We love you!” she wrote as a caption. We can only assume by ‘we’ she means Moses’ dad, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and his sister, Apple.

We’ve gotta say, from this angle, little Moses looks uncannily like his papa. Look at that scruffy voluminous hair.

Happy birthday little man! Little famous man.

Gwyneth rarely speaks candidly about her children, but here’s something pretty sweet she said about her daughter Apple recently:

“Apple is nine and already she’s starting to pick up on certain things from friends who are going on the internet and getting exposed to things you’d rather not have your children deal with at this age,” she told the British edition of OK! magazine. “But she has an incredible brain and she’s already asking me lots of big questions about the universe. I try to explain to her that there are things on the internet which are upsetting to grownups too, and that she’s not ready to be dealing with everything you can find on the internet. It’s not safe for children. So I ask her to come to me with her questions.”

To celebrate, here’s some more of Gwyneth’s photos, because we just can’t get enough…
