Blythe Danner Confused by Paltrow and Martin’s Unconscious Uncoupling

Blythe Danner doesn't seem to get on why her daughter, Gwyneth Paltrow is splitting with her ex-rocker husband, Chris Martin but one thing is for sure she respects their decision.

According to her interview with a quotation by Fox News, "They are so smart ... both incredibly brilliant. They're making it work, they're great friends and the kids are in wonderful shape. So I have to take my hat off to both of them."

However, she did share her moment of confusion on the whole situation. According to Page Six, "People make fun of this, um, what do they call it? What is that thing that they've been doing? Separating, but being?" When reminded about the politically correct term, conscious uncoupling, she further added, "Yes, but it's called 'conscious' . . . not 'conscious uncoupling.' Conscious..."

Then again it's Gwyneth Paltrow we're talking about. In an interview with Howard Stern, Yahoo! Celebrity quotes the actress' words on how she understands if people still don't get the gist of the whole term. "I made a mistake in that I didn't give it contex. Like, I didn't say, 'This is... a philosophy. But it's a very noble idea, and it's a great thing, I think, to try to do for your kids. And it's working, but it is kind of a goofy term and I didn't know it was going to cause such a big thing."

But despite the whole separation issue, Blythe Danner must be pleased at the fact that the two are making it work by being good friends. But when asked about speed dating, Blythe had her own restrictions and shared her own two cents."When you've had the best, forget the rest, and I kind of feel that way. I had an incredible husband. It would be great if somebody fell in from the sky ... because you do get lonely as you get older. But I'm very grateful that I have grandchildren on both coasts and they fill my heart," Yahoo! Celebrity quotes the actress who had just started dating again after the death of her husband of 33 years, Bruce Paltrow in 2002.
