“They have many of the same interests in the arts, culture and living a life that includes both of their passions, yet sits outside of it,” the insider said. “They respect each other and see the world in a similar fashion.”
Lawrence has kept their relationship lowkey and rarely speaking about her fiancé. In June, however, the actress gushed about Maroney calling him “the greatest human being I’ve ever met.”
“He really is, and he gets better,” Lawrence said while on Catt Sadler’s podcastNaked with Catt Sadler.
As for how she knew she wanted to marry him, the actress said, “I don’t know, I started with the basics. How do I feel? Is he nice? Is he kind? It’s just — this is the one, I know that sounds really stupid but he’s just, he’s — you know. He’s the greatest person I’ve ever met, so I feel very honored to become a Maroney.”

For all her enthusiasm on getting married, Lawrence admitted she didn’t have marriage on her mind when she first met him.
“I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like, ‘I’m ready to get married,'” she told Sadler. “I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other, we wanted to commit fully.”
Maroney is her “best friend,” she added. “I want to legally bind him to me forever. “And fortunately the paperwork exists for such a thing. You find your favorite person on the planet and you’re like, ‘You can’t leave!'”
