“I’m sooooo with you,” Paltrow commented ahead of her and ex-husband Chris Martin’s son Moses’ own graduation ceremony.

Keep scrolling to see where Katie Holmes, Sean “Diddy” Combs and more stars are sending their graduates in the fall of 2024.
Violet Affleck
While Garner and Affleck have yet to confirm Violet’s college plans, the teen hinted at them in a photo on her high school’s Instagram account.
In the group shot, Violet rocked a Yale University sweatshirt alongside other students wearing merch from their prospective universities.
Affleck and his wife, Jennifer Lopez, helped ring in Violet’s accomplishment at her graduation party on May 30 despite the divorce rumors plaguing them.
Suri Cruise
Holmes’ daughter, Suri, similarly used a sweater to indicate her college plans.
The 18-year-old was spotted in a classmate’s TikTok video sporting Carnegie Mellon University apparel.
She repped the Pittsburgh, Pa., institution during New York City’s LaGuardia High School’s “commitment day” in June.
Barron Trump
Donald Trump attended his and Melania Trump’s son Barron’s Oxbridge Academy graduation on May 17 during a break from his “hush money” trial.
While the former president previously claimed the 18-year-old wanted to attend his University of Pennsylvania alma mater, the Daily Beast reported he had committed to New York University instead — only for Donald to hint that Barron had changed his mind pro-Palestine protests.
“Six months ago you look at a college, and you sort of want a certain college,” the “Apprentice” alum told “Fox & Friends Weekend” viewers after Barron’s commencement. “Then you see all of these colleges are rioting, and maybe you want to go to a different kind of a college.”
Moses Martin
Paltrow and Martin put on a united front at Moses’ high school graduation on May 31.
The 18-year-old is going to Brown University, according to his Instagram bio and the Providence Journal.
Ahead of his departure, the Goop founder put her $30 million mansion on the market in order to downsize amid his and older sister Apple’s absence.
Chance Combs
Combs’ and Sarah Chapman’s daughter, Chance, celebrated her New York University acceptance in December 2023.
“Dreams do come true!” the 17-year-old gushed via Instagram at the time.
The graduate’s father did not attend her ceremony in California on May 31, remaining in Florida amid his recent legal troubles.
Justin Pippen
In April 2024, Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen’s son Justin committed to the University of Michigan, where he will play basketball.
The 18-year-old graduated from Sierra Canyon School the following month.
“Proud dad moment!” Scottie gushed in a celebratory Instagram tribute on May 31. “Congrats, son!”
Ryder Fieri
Guy Fieri honored son Ryder’s high school graduation with a June 8 Instagram post.
“So proud of @_ryderfieri,” he wrote. “Wow what a great high school career!! 3.7 GPA, basketball for 4 years and lacrosse senior year. Love you son!”
The 18-year-old has committed to San Diego State University to study hospitality.
Christian Nassif
While Adrienne Maloof’s twin sons, Christian and Collin, both graduated from high school on June 3, only one of them has indicated his college plans.
