The Silver Linings Playboook actress and Coldplay frontman are said to have been seeing each other since late June, after the Oscar winner split from her boyfriend and X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult.

E!News claims friends of the couple have confirmed the news, which comes four months after Chris Martin, 37, and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow announced, via Paltrow's Goop website, that they were "consciously uncoupling" after 10 years of marriage.

Lawrence, 24, was seen leaving a Coldplay afterparty after the band played at the Royal Albert Hall in London on July 1.

Paltrow, 41, is understood to now be in a relationship with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk.
