Chris and J-law are so on, while Robert and Emma could be making magic together
But, shhh… they’re keeping quiet for now
Rumours have been buzzing about these two for a long time – and now that they’re both newly single, heat is hearing that actors Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are finally getting together.
“They have seen each other twice in the past couple of weeks,” an insider tells heat. “Jennifer likes Chris a lot, and there’s definitely chemistry there. He’s been pursuing her hard and they’re in constant contact.”
Chris, 38, and Jennifer, 27, met while filming Passengers in 2016 and stories quickly spread that there was an instant attraction between the stars. But we’re told, “Jennifer insists nothing happened, because it’s not her style to get involved with a married man.
“They had a lot of long chats and really hit it off. Jen suspected Chris liked her, and when he split from Anna [Faris, his wife], she certainly took notice.”
For now, the pair are keeping their burgeoning relationship under wraps due to Chris’ awkward circumstances. The actor split from Anna in August after eight years of marriage, which reignited the rumours about him and Jen. Meanwhile, after several high-profile romances – with actor Nicholas Hoult, Chris Martin and, more recently, director Darren Aronofsky – Jen is also keen to keep this one low-key. We’re told, “Chris is glad Anna went public with her new boyfriend, as it makes it easier for him to be with someone else. But he and Jen are in no rush to fuel the fire by flaunting their relationship.”
Instead, the pair are planning a getaway together, “somewhere secluded”.

Who’d have thought swapping parties for dirty nappies would have any drawbacks? Clearly not Binky Felstead. But, five months after becoming a mum to daughter India, we’re told the former Made In Chelsea star is missing her old life and wants to get out more – and Rhyme Time classes don’t count.
“Motherhood has been a huge roller coaster for her and, while she adores India and wants to show everyone how well she’s coping, the truth is she struggles like anyone else,” an insider tells heat. “She really misses the social life she had before India came along, and has said that it’s not helping her anxiety. She puts herself under so much pressure trying to be the perfect mother. She feels guilty when she’s working, and restless when she feels like she’s stuck inside. Sometimes it’s as though there’s no happy medium, which can be suffocating.”
Binky, 27, has previously spoken about her bouts of “bad anxiety”, which she controls with exercise, but we’re told it’s now harder for her to find the time. As well as her own baby reality show with India and boyfriend Josh “JP” Patterson, Binky has her own fashion line and a kids’ clothing range – and she’s keen to take on more.
“JP is really supportive, but he’s also really busy with his work. She’s told JP that he needs to pull his weight, and that they’ll have to come to a decision about getting extra childcare. She loves showing him how well her fashion range does, because she wants him to see that she’s also got important commitments.”
As heat has previously reported, property developer JP would rather that Binky be a stay-athome mum, which is causing some conflict. “JP has quite a strong idea about what their parental duties should be, and sometimes that makes Binky feel pressured to let go of the fun times she used to have,” our insider continues. “She’s been trying to work out as much as possible, because it makes her feel better. But she still feels as though she’s missing out – she misses her carefree days on the show, and going on wild nights out with her friends.” n Katie Holloway
