The Hunger Games star kept the relationship under wraps but was previously spotted with a "massive" ring on her finger, with her representative confirming the news.

An eyewitness saw the actress in New York and told Page Six: "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."
