Jennifer Lawrence secretly dating her film director Darren Aronofsky?

London: Actress Jennifer Lawrence is reportedly dating director Darren Aronofsky after she bonded with him over a new movie they are working on together.

The 26-year-old actress and the director, who is 21 years her senior, have set tongues wagging after they were spotted on a string of low-key dates in Los Angeles recently, reported Female First.

The pair reportedly struck up a romance after they bonded over their new film, which is yet to be given a name and also stars Javier Bardem and Michelle Pfeiffer, over the summer.

"Jennifer and Darren have tried to keep things low-key and under wraps but they are really into each other. Recently Jennifer was working on a gruelling project and she relied on Darren for support and they were in constant contact. It seemed to show they were the real deal," a source said.

The 'Joy' actress previously dated Coldplay's Chris Martin and Nicholas Hoult.
