In her recent Vogue interview, Hunger Games and Silver Linings Playbook star, Jennifer Lawrence, confirmed that she was back together with her X-Men co-star, Nicholas Hoult.
Hoult, who has also starred in About a Boy and Warm Bodies originally split with Lawrence in January, after dating for almost two years. The split was amicable, and Lawrence said that it was mostly due to distance, since she lives in Los Angeles and he in the UK.
Their reunion has been playing out over the past few months. A source told Us Magazine, “They started [shooting X-Men: Days of Future Past] in April as friends, and then one day they just started kissing. One thing led to another and they hooked up. All her old feelings came rushing back. Now they’re fully back on.”
They were last seen together at the Comic-Con press conference for X-Men: Days of Future Past on July 20, where they appeared very comfortable and happy together.
Lawrence confirmed that the pair was officially dating again in her Vogue interview, and even made jokes about their breakup: “I wake up earlier in the morning when I have new sponges. The counter doesn’t even see it coming. [Hoult] would never wring them out. We were in the kitchen once, and I picked up the sponge, and it was soapy and wet, and I was like ‘See? These are the kinds of things that make me think we are never going to work.’”
Before their January split, Lawrence gushed to Elle about how happy she was with Hoult. “[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody.”
