As we all know, variety is the spice of life, and apparently it is also what caused Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin to fall head over heels with The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence.

A source told UK newspaper The Sun that Martin and Lawrence make each-other very happy saying, " Jennifer is loads of fun and they can’t stop laughing when they are together." According to The Mirror the source also claims that Martin is smitten because J Law, a junk food loving smoker, is the opposite of his estranged wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who is a notorious health buff.

"Chris feels he's dating someone who has everything he's been missing out on in the past 11 years," the source said.

All of Hollywood has been abuzz with news of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin dating since the story broke earlier this month. As we reported earlier Martin may have even alluded to his relationship with Lawrence during a recent Coldplay concert in New York. During the concert, Martin blew J Law a kiss and made a reference to The Hunger Games.
