I don't disapprove of Lawrence, says Paltrow

Though actress Jennifer Lawrence and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin are in a rumoured relationship, actress Gwyneth Paltrow says she doesn't disapprove of them as a couple.

Paltrow, who split from Martin after 10 years together in March 2014, opened up while talking to Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show, reports mirror.co.uk.

"Who says I don't approve of Jennifer Lawrence?" she said when questioned about their relationship.

"I respect him as the father of my children?It's his decision...He wouldn't be with someone who isn't great," Paltrow added.

The actress, who has daughter Apple, 10, and eight-year-old son Moses with Martin, insisted that even after split they are "always going to be family".

"We laugh and we have fun but there are times when it's really difficult. Things happen and you're like, I'm sure he doesn't want to hang out with me and I don't want to hang out with him but for the sake of the kids, you do it.

"But you also don't do it all tense. You say, 'I really want to find the love for you and I want to forgive you and I want you to forgive me and let's have some fun as a family,'" she said.
