Oh, brother.

In honor of Chris Martin's birthday March 2, his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow posted what would have been a cute throwback featuring the former couple and their kids, Apple, 13, and Moses, 11.

Then came the caption: "Happy birthday my brother. Thank you for giving me these two."

Happy birthday my brother. Thank you for giving me these two. 💖

To be fair, this was probably a jokey reference to the flack she got for calling Martin her brother before. "He's really like my brother, we're very familial," Paltrow told Stephen Colbert on his Late Show back in January. "It's nice, it's great."

Paltrow and Martin "consciously uncoupled" back in March 2014, but have remained close. So close, apparently, they're like brother and sister. The internet, not surprisingly, is having a field day with this:

A few followers were quick to defend Paltrow's caption.

Paltrow is currently engaged to Glee co-creater Brad Falchuk and Martin is reportedly dating Fifty Shades star Dakota Johnson. No word yet on how Martin feels about Paltrow's show of "sisterly" love.

Happy birthday, Chris!
