Jennifer Lawrence and Darren
Jennifer Lawrence, 27, and ‘Mother!’ director Darren Aronofsky, 48, have split after over a year of dating, PEOPLE has confirmed.
The two began seeing each other in September shortly after wrapping ‘Mother!’, and their relationship continued to blossom despite their 22-year age difference. The private couple kept mum about their relationship while promoting the movie a year later and only posed together at the New York premiere of the film.
According to Page Six, American news platform, insiders revealed that the break-up happened a month ago — but the two have remained friends.
Earlier this month, they sat together at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Governors Awards in LA, although they’d already ended their romance.
A source tells Page Six of the relationship’s end, “It was just time,” but that things ended amicably.
Lawrence stars in Aronofsky’s polarizing ‘Mother!’ The star’s reportedly said of the film, “It was an instant ‘yes’ before I even read anything .?.?. He told me his ideas and I thought they were brilliant and unique and challenging. I’ve been a fan of his for years — I think he’s bold and brave, and I think I said ‘brilliant.’?”
Upon receiving the script, Lawrence jokingly recalled tossing the pages and telling Aronofsky that “he had severe psychological problems.”
The couple made their red-carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival earlier this fall.
He has a son, Henry, 11, with former flame Rachel Weisz. Reps did not comment.
