Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky Reportedly Broke Up Last Month
Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky are a couple no more. Multiple outlets confirmed Wednesday morning that the duo have reportedly broken up after a little more than a year of dating.
According to Entertainment Tonight, sources said the pair actually broke up last month, but that it was an amicable split and Lawrence and Aronofsky are still friendly. Case in point: Another source told ET that the former couple attended the Governors Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month, post-breakup, but still sat together. “It’s not awkward,” the source said.
J.Law and the Black Swan director met on the set of the psychological thriller Mother! and reportedly started dating in September 2016, after the movie had wrapped. Although they were spotted grabbing dinner together multiple times and were even photographed making out on the sidewalk in New York City, they kept their lips zipped about the relationship for months.
Lawrence finally confirmed their romance in the September 2017 issue of Vogue. “We had energy,” she said of how they started dating. “I had energy for him. I don’t know how he felt about me.” She continued, “I’ve been in relationships before where I am just confused. And I’m never confused with him.” The Oscar winner also praised Darren’s low-key vibe and aversion to the spotlight. “I normally don’t like Harvard people, because they can’t go two minutes without mentioning that they went to Harvard,” she said. “He’s not like that.”
Aronofsky also praised Jen’s talent in the Vogue story. “It’s such a raw, natural talent she has,” he said. “I always kind of compare her to Michael Jordan.”
Although it’s unclear why Lawrence, 27, and Aronofsky, 48, broke up, that same Vogue interview revealed something of a disconnect between the pair on an incredibly important topic: the Kardashians. Lawrence, of course, is a noted KUWTK superfan and has even hung out with reality TV’s royal family several (hilarious) times, while Aronofsky seems to be less of a Kim K stan than his ex. For example, of the “Kardashian tent” that the Mother! crew constructed on the movie set as a place for J.Law to go and calm down between takes of the intense film, Aronofsky said, “I wasn’t involved in that. I was like, ‘What are you talking about, the Kardashians?'” Lawrence added, “He just finds it so vastly disappointing.”
Not saying that her reality-TV obsession is why Lawrence and Aronofsky split up, but honestly, it wouldn’t be the worst reason to end a relationship.
