Jennifer Lawrence is secretly dating Cooke Maroney, the director of the high-end Gladstone Gallery in New York City.

The A-list actress, 27, and the dashing art director came together through Lawrence's friend Laura Simpson, a source told Page Six.

"The relationship has been going on a few weeks," a source told the outlet. "But they have been very private and careful not to be seen together."

Maroney is 33, insiders told the outlet, and a regular at swanky art exhibitions in the Big Apple. He formerly worked for the Gagosian gallery, according to the Daily Mail.

In his post at the venerated Gotham art gallery, Maroney has worked alongside noted artists including Carroll Dunham (who is Lena Dunham's father), Anish Kapoor, and Matthew Barney, the ex of Bjork.

The Louisville, Kentucky native has past been in a number of high-profile romances with noted names such as filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, who she collaborated with on last year's Mother!, though the pair parted ways last autumn.

She's also been romantically-linked to Coldplay front man Chris Martin in 2014, and actor Nicholas Hoult of X-Men fame around 2012-2014.

The Oscar-winner gave her fans a rare glimpse at her love life in a December 2015 chat with Vogue, telling the publication: "No one ever asks me out. I am lonely every Saturday night. Guys are so mean to me."

In the chat, The Hunger Games star revealed that she hopes to find a suitor whose opinion of her is unaffected by her fame.

"I'm just a girl who wants you to be nice to me," she told the magazine. "I am straight as an arrow.

"I feel like I need to meet a guy, with all due respect, who has been living in Baghdad for five years who has no idea who I am."

Lawrence said that she "can't wait to be married" and "would absolutely not f*** it up" if she finds the right person.
