Blythe Danner has praised daughter Gwyneth Paltrow for her ‘extraordinary’ relationship with ex-husband Chris Martin.

The actress, who stars in new film I’ll See You in My Dreams, thinks that the former couple have made their divorce “work so well.”

Speaking to Fiona Phillips on Lorraine, Danner said: “Well you know what, they have this extraordinary relationship.

“The kids come first, they’re supportive of one another and this isn’t just “la-di-da” positive, this is absolutely true.

“They had this conscious uncoupling which some people questioned and say, well what's that? They’ve made it work, the kids come first, the family comes first.”

She added: “We do Christmas and the holidays and I’m really proud of them. They’ve made it work so well.”

Danner also admitted that she was keen for her daughter to appear on screen more as her children get older.

“I’ve learned a lot from her. She’s an extraordinary mother and such a brilliant actress,” she said.

“I’m hoping as the children get older she will come back to [acting] because to me there’s no-one like her, she can do anything."

Paltrow and Martin announced their ‘conscious uncoupling’ back in 2014 after 10 years of marriage.
