Blythe Danner is a fan of of her daughter Gwyneth Paltrow's choices when it comes to her love life!

ET spoke to the actress at AARP The Magazine's 17th Annual Movies for Grownups Awards in Los Angeles on Monday, where she talked about Paltrow's fiance, producer Brad Falchuk. Paltrow confirmed their engagement last month.

Interestingly enough, Danner also showed love for Paltrow's ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

"Oh, more than approve!" Danner told ET's Ashley Crossan when asked about Falchuk. "Yes, I love, I love Brad. I love Chris! Love them all."

When it comes Falchuk popping the big question, Danner said she didn't need him to ask her permission. 

"I really adore him," she said of her future son-in-law.

Danner also shared that she recently celebrated her 75th birthday on Saturday with a "lovely dinner party" thrown by Paltrow. The actress can still be seen on the small screen these days, returning to Will & Grace as Will's mother. 

"It was a thrill to get back with that gang, and I said, 'Nobody can possibly get sick there,'" she said about revisiting the role a decade later for the reboot. "They laugh so hard, if that is true that laughter, you know, prevents illness. They are the test of all time."

AARP The Magazine's 17th Annual Movies for Grownups Awards will be broadcast for the first time on Friday, Feb. 23, at 9 p.m. ET on PBS.

Meanwhile, Paltrow has also clearly maintained a friendly relationship with Martin since their split in 2014. Last November, she Instagrammed a picture of Falchuk and Martin together for Sunday brunch, captioning it, "#modernfamily."

ET spoke to Paltrow last month at the 2018 Goop Health Summit in New York City, where she said her busy schedule has prevented her from wedding planning. She did note that her second wedding will be a much more relaxed affair then her first one to Martin in 2003.

“I think I'm [too] old to have a big wedding and a big ole white dress and all that,” she said. “I gotta dial it back.”
