J. Law & Nicholas Hoult Are Together... Sort Of

by Kadeen Griffiths

If you're like me, then, despite the fact that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin are rumored to be together in an on-off relationship, and, despite the fact that Nicholas Hoult has been linked to everyone from Kristen Stewart to Dianna Agron, you're still holding out hope that Lawrence and Hoult will get back together. The two actors met while filming X-Men: First Class, and they swiftly became on of the world's most adorable couples. They broke up for a while, only to reunite while filming X-Men: Days of Future Past. They have since broken up again, but then Bryan Singer posted a picture of Hoult and Lawrence reunited on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse. The two are all smiles, which leads me to wonder... are they going to get back together anytime soon?

It's quite possible that I am way too biased to answer that question. If history repeats itself, then love will bloom on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse just as it did on the set of First Class and Days of Future Past. The two actors typically break up not because they've fallen out of love with each other, or because of any internal problems, but reportedly because of the distance. With their chaotic schedules being how they are, and how rarely they're ever in the same place, it makes sense that they're mature enough to recognize that their relationship would suffer from that.

However, Lawrence is still romantically connected to Martin — at least, last time I checked — and she probably isn't going to leave him high and dry just to get back together with Hoult. As much as the fans might want to see those crazy kids find their way back to one another again, Lawrence is an adult who can make her own life choices, especially when it comes to her love life. If she and Martin are really dating, something that has still gone unconfirmed by either party, then we owe it to her to respect and support that.

Still, I don't blame anyone for being unable to help the pang of nostalgia that the photo Singer posted will give you. Hoult and Lawrence look so happy, and, sure, that could be excitement to film the latest X-Men movie. That's plausible. But I like to believe that they are simply content to be by one another's side again, because they're still friends, and they will never stop caring about one another.
