Jennifer Lawrence, who likes to keep her private life private, was busted by a random fan who took her photo last month as she had lunch at a sidewalk table in New York.
The fan posted the photo on Instagram, not recognizing the man on the other side of the table was Darren Aronofsky, who directed her in his upcoming, but still untitled, drama with Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer and Ed Harris.
Aronofsky, 47, the Brooklynite director of “The Wrestler” and “Black Swan,” is said to have fallen for his leading lady, 26, last summer while filming in Montreal. He has a 10-year-old son, Henry, with actress ex Rachel Weisz.
A source told the London Sun, “Jennifer and Darren have tried to keep things low-key and under wraps, but they are really into each other.” Or maybe it was just lunch.
Reps for the supposed lovebirds didn’t get back to me.
