Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult have reportedly broken up for the second time. A source told E! Online the split was “very amicable” and that “difficult schedules” pushed their relationship to the breaking point. HuffPost Entertainment contacted representatives for Lawrence and Hoult to confirm the report. This post will be updated if and when they respond.
Lawrence, 23, and Hoult, 24, have been together for quite some time. The pair first started dating back in 2011 after working together on “X-Men: First Class” (Lawrence plays Mystique in the franchise; Hoult stars as Beast), and had previously parted ways in January of 2013. But that break-up didn’t last very long, as the couple remained close throughout production on “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” Earlier this year, Lawrence and Hoult attended the Golden Globes together.
“They just weren’t together a lot, her life is a whirlwind,” an unnamed source said to Us Weekly while confirming the split. “They have gotten back together before, it just got to be too hard for now.”
In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Lawrence discussed her relationship with Hoult.
“When we’re busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn’t text back or call,” Lawrence said. “Life’s super-busy. Obviously you know what they’re doing, and you trust them. We’re so young that it would almost be like if we lived in the same city, what would happen? We’d be living together. At least this way he’s in the same boat as I am: We can go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other.”
