    For Jennifer, the romance begun just months after she split from Mother! director Darren Aronofsky, 49, in November 2017 after dating for about a year.
    It has been claimed that their age gap caused a problem in their romance, as well as Jennifer admitting they were never able to switch off from talking about work.
    Jennifer and Cooke have enjoyed their romance away from the public eye, enjoying low-key trips to Europe and dinner dates in New York City. 
    While they haven't walked a red carpet together, in September Jennifer took Cooke with her to the New York Film Festival premiere of The Favourite — which stars her ex Nicholas Hoult and her close friend Emma Stone. 
    Also in attendance was the actress' ex Darren Aronofsky.
