Quick, off the top of your head, name Anne Hathaway’s husband! Can you do it? I do this for a living and even I had to look it up. Adam Shulman. His name is Adam Shulman. I bring up Anne Hathaway and Adam because I think that’s happening with Jennifer Lawrence. J-Law split from Darren Aronofsky in late 2017. She was single for a few months, then she quietly began seeing Cooke Maroney, an “art dealer” type in New York. They’ve been quietly doing each other for maybe about eight months, tops. Which is forever in Hollywood years, so let’s get married.
Jennifer Lawrence and her boyfriend Cooke Maroney may be making it official soon. Page Six can exclusively reveal that the two were spotted having a cozy dinner at Raoul’s and Lawrence was rocking a “massive ring” on her finger.
“It was a giant rock. They seemed like they were celebrating and people were talking about it. The ring was very noticeable. They were sitting back in a corner. She was wearing a cute black dress with white polka dots,” a spy told us. The low-key couple were also spotted dining at Elio’s on the Upper East Side over the weekend. But some friends of J.Law told us they haven’t heard any news of an engagement as of Tuesday afternoon.
A rep for Lawrence would not confirm if she’s engaged.
Hours later, both Page Six and People Mag got confirmation from Jennifer’s rep – the initial Page Six story was true, and they’re engaged. The reason I brought up Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman in the beginning is because I think that, like Anne, Jennifer was legitimately and truly tired of dating “celebrities” or famous/shady men. Nicholas Hoult, Chris Martin, Darren Aronofsky, it was just too much. So she went looking for a “normal guy” who was low-drama and she marrying the first one who asked her. I predict a down-home yet low-key wedding in Kentucky.
PS… I have this 30 Rock line stuck in my head because sometimes 30 Rock had the perfect pop-culture joke: “A-listers always have surprise weddings now, Liz. Timberbiel, Beyon-Z, Anne Hatha-Nobody.” I MISS 30 ROCK.

I will just go back to what I said yesterday on the Liam Neeson thread – these actors are so dumb they are lady boner killers.
So while she may get a lot of “she could do so much better!” IMO she may very well have done so much better.
Who would be better?
Oh sorry, badly phrased. What i meant was I think by marrying this guy she is probably doing so much better than any actor she could have married.
I agree, Darla. I think she’s making a wise choice. She could continue dating entitled douche bag actors or musicians, or she could go be much happier with someone who’s at least low-key in comparison. He’s not a bad looking guy, either.
@Erinn –
Yeah considering the boiled eggs she’s dated in the past – Cooke’s a step up.🤐
Plus he’s tall.
I agree with this. To many people value fame and money more than the quality of the guy and the relationship. I could careless about Jlaw but if this guy treats her well then good for her.
yup…how many times have us celebitches said “she needs to date someone who’s NOT in the biz like a lawyer or something” about ANY NUMBER of actresses who have dated d-bag actors/musicians?
Doritos coated fish and moonshine alcohol!
But I give it 2 years tops.
Good luck to them. Hope she’s smart enough to get a ironclad prenup.
Does she get dressed in the dark?
I know,I hope the super skimpy slip dress,and lingerie as outerwear isn’t going to make a comeback!
I think that trend already came and went a couple years back. Rihanna made it popular for a while.
I tried to love this comment like it was on IG.
Lol !
I called it!
Jen’s been very open about wanting this.
Happy this dude’s not 3x her age.🙏🙏🙏
Taylor Swift next.
Funny I think Taylor and Joe will breakup.
She needs material for her next album.
Re: Taylor & Joe – Shall we make it a bet? 😉😉😉
I completely agree. Everyone is waiting on Tay’s engagement, but if it doesn’t come this spring, it’s over. Guarantee. Poor Big-Eyes Joe.
Agreed. I think Taylor and Joe have been happy and more real than her past relationships, but I don’t think he’s “the one.”
I’m on the fence with Taylor,she DOES need material for her new album,but it seems she/they are super quiet too,aren’t they living the simple country life or something in England?I could also see Taylor wanting to be hitched by 30, not that that is the magical age or cut off or anything,but I think she could be image conscious enough to want marriage by a certain age.My 2 cents
I just want to see this “massive ring”.
Same.
Maroney hangs out with the jet-set and apparently his dad’s loaded, so I wonder if it’s a new ring, or family heirloom.

I live for the ring shots. I’m a sucker for anything sparkly.
Oooh, me too! And it sounds like this one might be REALLY sparkly, yay!
And congrats to her! I really like her, I hope he’s the real deal and she’s found lasting happiness with this guy.
Same, xdanix – I get why people got exhausted by her… but I do love her. I hope she’s genuinely happy. Now she needs to get on it with the ring photos and give the people what they want!
The Oscars, what a perfect place to reveal that rock! timing, people…
I know a few people have said this, but I keep reading his name as Cookie Monster….which makes the real story far less interesting when I realize my mistake.
Congrats I guess, but I like my version! 😁
I will never not see Cookie Monster from now on. 😂
After reading this comment I actually went back and read his name for the first time. Impossible to memorize so Cookie Monster it is. All her boyfriends seem like a downgrade from Nic Hault
hahahahaha!
This is probably going to be the comment of the week on our podcast this week! It will at least be an honorable mention.
It’s an honour just to be nominated! 😁
If it’s revealed that Jlaw doesn’t call him Cookie as a nickname, I will have no choice but to cancel her.
OMG, cannot not think Cookie Monster – thank you!!!! Otherwise, will be surprised if they do marry and if so, surprised if they make it to year 2. Although, perhaps she’s come to her senses after dating Old Man Aranofsky.
I’m halfway through season 6 of watching 30 Rock for the first time and I’m already mourning cos I don’t have that much left. Some of the humour is a little dated now (the treatment of gay/trans/poc is hella questionable esp in the early seasons) but I’m taking it as ‘of its time’.
I loved, LOVED 30 Rock.
It was and always will be one of my absolute favorites. It was just so clever… and there’s so many things happening that you just don’t catch until later, or maybe not even until your second or third watch lol. I still quote it all of the time.
Kaiser, did you mean to put doing each other in the first paragraph? Or was it meant to be dating? Even if it is a typo it gave me a chuckle this morning. 0
LOL! I just spotted that. Even if it’s a typo, leave it. It’s amazing…and probably true. 🤷♀️
OMG I’m so happy for her! I feel a little emotional because for me she’s always a girl but she’s growing up.
I’m happy for her, she seemed to want to connect and have a relationship with someone for awhile now. It’s hard out there man!
Just here to say I miss 30 Rock too! Under appreciated show for sure.
He looks like a douche to me.
If there’s anybody to compare him to I’d say Drew Barrymore’s ex – mega-rich kid who inherited Daddy’s business and seemed ok until it turned out he was spoiled and controlling.
Adam Shulman was a guy who worked for a living and he and Hathaway took things at a normal pace. Anne had a few years to learn that he was truly a nice guy who supported and loved her even during stressful situations. She didn’t rush into anything after 8 months.
He does run with a pretty douchey crew, including Paris Hilton’s ex.
I love Hathaway as an actress but as a person, she seems so extra that I think it’s great she married someone who seems sooooo low-key. He proved he could keep it low low low key over several years.
I can’t believe you made a 30 Rock reference and didn’t mention that, if she wanted to, J.Law can now go by Jenna Maroney!
Haha, that’s awesome! I miss that show.
I’m surprised by this, I didn’t think Jennifer was all that interested in getting married, but congrats to them!
I almost forgot who she was.
BRING BACK 30 ROCK! That show set a trend for others but it feels like nobody knows it.
Thinking at 28 she’s in the “Well, lots of my friends are getting married, and I’ll maybe want kids at some point, so better lock it down asap” position so many women reach at her age. Which is, I suppose, reasonable. But man, 8 months. I always tell my younger friends, “Wait until the super intense rainbow sex sparkles wear off a little– which is at about the two year mark for most relationships, if you believe the science–THEN see if you still want to marry someone.” And of course they never listen, which is the privilege of youth.
Agree. He might be perfect for her but why rush?
Maybe they’ll have a long engagement?
Honestly, I think short engagements make more sense at that age than with younger people. You’ve gone through enough partners to know what works. You know what you want, and if you’re ready to settle down, you’ll do it. Half of getting married is feeling ready for it.
@Diamond Rottweiler I was surprised at this news, but it also kind of makes sense? She has enough money that she could take it easy, enjoy married life, do the family thing…! Maybe get a degree? She’s done enough award-winning “prestige” stuff that she could return to work whenever she’d like, I’m sure. Sounds pretty idyllic, if you ask me!
To speak to @Veronica’s point: I married in my 30s, to my shock. My now-husband proposed after just three months of dating, which I thought was LUDICROUS. Still, I’d just asked him to move a long distance with me (and to a pretty unpleasant location), so when he popped the question I was like, “hm… that’s actually fair. That would be a fair transaction. I could make that deal.”
Speaking to @lucy2’s observation, we *did* have a longer engagement — that was actually my one condition. Point is, all that good advice kinda goes out the window when “you know.” Every relationship has its own organic timeline. 🙂 Which isn’t to say that this isn’t good advice, @Diamond — it is!! Definitely KNOW the person and whether you work well as a team, and that you can still stand them when sex takes a backseat — but for my husband and me, it clicked pretty quick! We’ve been together longer than our previous longest relationships (six years each!), so — even though we’re still relatively young, and potentially have a long way to go (God willing) — I’m calling ours a success. <3
This is nice. Good on her for marrying a non-Hollywood guy.
Im not mad at her. I mean eight months is pretty quick, but…at least he isn’t Aronofsky. *shivers* I’m pretty much pro any relationship that isn’t with him. Or Chris Martin. I do mourn her relationship with Nicholas Hoult, they were cute together, but I think they simply outgrew each other.
He’s not a normal guy. He’s a NY douche who comes from money and hangs with a douche crew. See Fyre fest type bros.
Still not convinced this isn’t a staged relationship to give JLaw an all-new, “responsible wifey” look on for the “I’ve grown up a lot and am mature now” comeback tour.
Sure, Jan. Call me when they’ve been married for 15 years. I’m fine saying I was wrong but I am not buying it until then.
While I really think she’s just following her friend Amy Schumer and quickly marrying and having a family with the first normal she finds, I am still so glad she didn’t end up with Darren Aronofsky. Dude is a creep and was condescending af to her in some of those mother interviews. This dude seems dopey and belongs in the Fyre Fest doc but ehhhh.
Is it just me or is he really, really, really plain looking?
I’ve seen those above photos maybe 4 times and I never once even looked at his face hahah I was preoccupied by her – clothes, face, bag, shoes.
I just looked. He is attractive enough I guess?
And bump watch begins in three, two, one…
Blind Gossip is saying she’s pregnant. And 30 Rock is the greatest show of all time.
Is she wearing a slip? Whatever it is, it looks dirty and stank.
Good for her! I think she’s way better off being with a guy who isn’t famous.
