Jennifer Lawrence's Dating Life, From 'X-Men' Co-Star, Nicholas Hoult To Now Husband, Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most recognisable names in Hollywood, known not only for her acting talent but also for her candid, down-to-earth personality. Born on August 15, 1990, in Louisville, Kentucky, Lawrence rose to international stardom after playing ‘Katniss Everdeen’ in The Hunger Games franchise. The films became a global phenomenon, making her one of the most bankable stars of the decade.

Lawrence's career boasts a variety of acclaimed projects, from the Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook (2012) to critically praised performances in American Hustle (2013), Joy (2015), and Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! (2017). In 2013, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, becoming the second-youngest winner ever in that category. From then on, Jennifer Lawrence continues to be one of Hollywood’s most versatile and admired talents.

But while Lawrence's career has been in the spotlight for over a decade, so has her love life. Fans have long been intrigued by the men who have won the actress’s heart, from fellow actors to a rock musician, a celebrated director, and finally her husband. Here’s a look at Jennifer Lawrence’s complete dating history.

Nicholas Hoult was Jennifer Lawrence’s first love

Jennifer Lawrence’s most significant early relationship was with British actor, Nicholas Hoult. The two met while filming X-Men: First Class in 2010, where Lawrence played ‘Mystique’ and Hoult portrayed ‘Beast’. Their romance blossomed on set, and they quickly became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about young couples.

Hoult and Lawrence dated on and off for nearly five years. They briefly split in 2013 before reuniting while working together on X-Men: Days of Future Past. However, by August 2014, the couple had ended their relationship for good. In a 2015 interview, Lawrence admitted she struggled after the breakup.

Despite the split, Hoult and Lawrence remained amicable and continued to work together on the subsequent X-Men films. Hoult later described reuniting with her on set as ‘like going back to school after summer holidays.’ While talking about their breakup, Lawrence said: 

“I was also in a relationship with somebody for five years, and we broke up around the same time I wrapped The Hunger Games. Being 24 was this whole year of, ‘Who am I without these movies? Who am I without this man?’” 

Jennifer Lawrence’s rockstar romance with Chris Martin

Not long after her breakup with Hoult, Lawrence briefly dated Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay. The relationship began in August 2014, just months after Martin’s wife Gwyneth Paltrow filed for divorce. The pair were first spotted together at a dinner in Los Angeles, sparking rumours of a budding romance.

Over the following months, Lawrence and Martin were seen at Harry Styles’ birthday party, enjoying weekend getaways in New York, and spending time together in Los Angeles. Their relationship, however, was on-again, off-again and reportedly complicated by Martin’s demanding schedule and commitments as a father.

By August 2015, the couple had officially called it quits. A source at the time revealed that Chris doesn’t really want the relationship to end, but he needs to be flexible so he can see his family. He was crazy about her but wanted to keep his own schedule. Friends close to Lawrence admitted that she grew frustrated with Martin’s noncommittal attitude.

Darren Aronofsky and Jennifer Lawrence’s love story

In 2016, Jennifer Lawrence found herself drawn to celebrated filmmaker, Darren Aronofsky, known for movies like Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream. The two met while working on Darren's psychological thriller Mother! (2017), which Lawrence led. Despite their 22-year age difference, their relationship deepened quickly.

Lawrence and Darren were first spotted dining together in New York City in August 2016, and by the fall, the pair were spending significant time together in Los Angeles. Their romance was largely private, though they occasionally appeared together at public events, including the Mother! premiere.

The relationship, however, lasted just over a year. By November 2017, the couple had separated, reportedly due to their different lifestyles and busy schedules. Lawrence later admitted that promoting Mother! while dating, the movie's director added stress to their relationship. Still, the two remained respectful toward one another after the breakup.

Jennifer Lawrence found her true partner with Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence’s love story with Cooke Maroney, an art gallery director, is proof that sometimes true love comes outside of Hollywood. The pair were introduced by a mutual friend in 2018 and began dating quietly. Unlike her high-profile past relationships, Lawrence’s romance with Maroney was refreshingly low-key.

Lawrence and Maroney were first spotted on walks in New York City, sharing casual dates, and travelling together to Europe. By February 2019, the couple was engaged, with Lawrence gushing about her fiancé during a podcast interview. She could be quoted as saying:

"He’s my best friend. I want to legally bind him to me forever. You find your favourite person on the planet and you’re like, ‘You can’t leave!’”

In October 2019, Lawrence and Maroney tied the knot at the lavish Belcourt of Newport mansion in Rhode Island. The star-studded guest list included Adele, Kris Jenner, and Amy Schumer. In February 2022, they welcomed their first child, a son named Cy, after the artist, Cy Twombly. Speaking about motherhood in a 2022 interview with Vogue, Lawrence revealed that her heart has stretched to a capacity that she didn’t know about.

From navigating her first major relationship with Nicholas Hoult to the challenges of dating in the public eye, Lawrence has handled each chapter with honesty and humour. Ultimately, her journey led her to Cooke Maroney, someone outside of Hollywood’s intense spotlight.

Now happily married and embracing motherhood, Jennifer continues to shine both on-screen and off, proving that Hollywood’s sweetheart has truly found her happily ever after.
