While attending the Global Gift Gala in London on Thursday night, Melanie told HELLO! and other reporters: "Have I given my seal of approval? Yeah he's amazing." The 62-year-old actress continued: "I've said that before I know you're gonna repeat it, but he really is special."

The seal of approval from the Working Girl actress comes soon after another interview in which she seemed to be singing the Coldplay singer's praises.
Speaking to PEOPLE in September, Melanie said: "I think they are a great couple. I adore him!" The actress went on to state how she honours her daughter's desire to keep things under wraps, however, stating: "But [Dakota] is very private about her life, and I respect that."

In a 2018 interview with Tatler magazine, the actress appeared to confirm the relationship with the musician. "I'm not going to talk about it", the 30-year-old said, "but I'm very happy." Earlier this year, various press outlets were reporting on the couple's apparent split due to their differing views on starting a family together. Chris, who shares two children with his ex-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, reportedly wanted more children whereas, it was stated, Dakota didn't.
