Jessica Chastain talks about boyfriend Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo

Although Zero Dark Thirty's Jessica Chastain did not take home the Best Actress in a Leading Role last night, the actress was all smiles in her stunning Armani Prive gown.

According to US Weekly, the 35-year old has been quietly seeing fashion executive Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo.

Chastain told Mario Lopez of Extra on the red carpet, “I am very, very happy. It’s a wonderful thing when a career does so well and your personal life goes so well. My friends and my family are so important to me."

However, Chastain's date to the event wasn't her boyfriend, but her grandmother. The two have a pact to keep their romance out of the spotlight. "He is a classy guy and completely agrees about respecting their relationship and not flaunting it. They've been dating seriously for a while now, and Gian really likes her," a source told US Weekly.

The actress also told Extra earlier in the night that she was not expecting to win the award, stating, “Honestly, I don’t think it’s my year this year.”
