It's always good when your mom approves of your dating choices – even if it's just your onscreen mom.
With Ryan Gosling and Blake Lively apparently enjoying a special closeness, Kelly Rutherford – who plays Lively's mother on Gossip Girl – has given the pair the thumbs-up.
"It'd be great [if they were dating]. Blake's an amazing person," Rutherford said Friday at the opening of the new restaurant Beauty & Essex in New York. "She's so gorgeous. He's a lucky man if they are!"
Neither Gosling not Lively is admitting to anything serious between them. "She's an incredible actress; she's a good friend," Gosling told PEOPLE last week at a lunch for Blue Valentine in New York at the Kimberly Hotel.
