Maroney stayed in New York after he graduated from college, and he’s now seen as a respected, prominent figure in the art social scene. Page Six reported that the art dealer is “known to be seen at high-end art openings around town.”
He Met Jennifer Through Mutual Friends
Lawrence and Maroney were reportedly introduced by a mutual friend, Laura Simpson, in early 2018. “They have been very private and careful not to be seen together,” a source told Page Six.
Lawrence Knew She Wanted to Marry Him Immediately
Despite their efforts to keep their relationship out of the public eye, Lawrence opened up about wedding planning in an episode of Catt Sadler’s Naked with Catt Sadler podcast. “I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like, ‘I’m ready to get married,'” she said of her single days. “I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully.”
She continued, “He’s my best friend so 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 in the planet and you’re like you can’t leave. So I wanted to take that offer.”
In another rare interview in June 2019, Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight how she knew Maroney was her person. “Well, he’s just the best person I’ve ever met in my whole life,” she said. “It was a very, very easy decision.”
