Asked whether Daisy, 19, should be dating a man 13 years her senior, Pearl said: “I've got no problem with the age gap... he's a gentleman and he's really looking after her. I could imagine them being together in the long term.
"The only thing that could come between them is that they both work really hard."
To that end, Ronson has been keeping busy working with Amy Winehouse on a theme song for the upcoming 007 release, Quantum Of Solace.
The song's placement in the film isn't guaranteed, but Ronson said: "Hopefully it will get used. We're working on it and we'll see happens."
"I'm sure there are loads more really famous people that probably we're competing with, and we don't know about. I'm not sure."
Filmmakers first approached Winehouse, who then brought her favouroite collaborator on board.
