Jennifer Lawrence and fiancé Cooke Maroney spark wedding rumours as they are spotted at New York courthouse

Jennifer Lawrence has sparked marriage rumours after she was spotted at a New York courthouse with her fiancé, Cooke Maroney.

Photos obtained by Page Six show the Oscar winer and the art gallery director exiting the  marriage bureau on Monday, with two security guards, a photographer and a pal. An insider told the publication that the photographer in question was Mark Seliger, who has previously shot Vanity Fair and GQ - and who has regularly photographer some of Hollywood's most famous faces. The couple announced their engagement back in February - and the Silver Linings Playbook actress recently admitted that marriage hadn't been on her mind until she met Maroney. She also confirmed that when they do tie the knot, she would be taking her fiancé's last name. Speaking on the NAKED with Catt Sadler podcast, she said:

“I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like I’m ready to get married. “I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully and you know, he’s my best friend. I feel very honoured to become a Maroney. “I want to legally bind him to me forever and, fortunately, the paperwork exists for such a thing. “It’s the greatest. You find your favorite person on the planet, you’re like, ‘You can’t leave.’ So, I wanted to take up on that offer."

It is thought that the pair started dating in June 2018. Cooke is big in the New York City art scene and is currently director at Gladstone 64, a modern art gallery in the city's Upper East Side. Jennifer previously dated director Darren Aronofsky for a year before splitting in November 2017. She and actor Nicholas Hoult were in a relationship between 2010 and 2014.
