Jennifer Lawrence talks relationship with ‘brilliant’ boyfriend Darren Aronofsky in Vogue’s September Issue – after being blamed for Chris Pratt and Anna Faris’s marriage break up
JENNIFER Lawrence has given a glowing appraisal of her boyfriend Darren Aronofsky - calling the director "brilliant" while poking fun at his Harvard credentials.
Her words come just days after her friend and former co-star Chris Pratt split from wife Anna Faris after eight years of marriage - with some fans claiming Jennifer was to blame.
“I’ve been in relationships before where I am just confused. And I’m never confused with him.”
She then joked: "I normally don’t like Harvard people, because they can’t go two minutes without mentioning that they went to Harvard. He’s not like that.”
The couple, who have a 22 year age gap, met on the set of upcoming thriller Mother! and haven't looked back since.
Jennifer, who starred with Chris on the 2016 hit film Passengers, is now being hounded online by trolls who claim she's responsible for their split.
Late last year it was claimed Jennifer and Chris had hooked up while shooting the sci-fi film – something which was vehemently denied.
Anna later called the rumours “devastating” and said: “For us it was like, 'What the heck.'
“This has been blindsiding to us. We have an incredible relationship. [But] it has been weirdly stinging.”
The 40-year-old also told Fox News she had always believed gossip about celebrities and affairs and explained: “I have always kind of believed that part of the rumours of celebrity couples were sort of true because they had never been a part of my life.
“I thought 'Maybe there is a kernel of truth to that.'”
Despite there being no evidence to suggest Jennifer was involved in the breakdown of Chris and Anna's relationship, fans have slated the 26-year-old online.
One tweeted: "Anyone who is surprised that Chris and Anna are splitting didn't see how Chris was with Jennifer Lawrence."
Another wrote: “I can't believe Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are splitting up this is all Jennifer Lawrence's fault.”
Pictures of Jennifer, Chris and Anna at the premiere of Passengers in December appeared awkward.
Jennifer and Anna's hug was mocked by fans online, while people joked about Chris not looking at Anna when he kissed her.
