While filming The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire, Jennifer Lawrence revealed that she temporarily lost her hearing due to an injury and multiple ear infections. A water jet punctured her eardrum while performing the film's underwater stunts. Lawrence has since made a full recovery.

In September 2016, she began dating filmmaker Darren Aronofsky after they had met during filming of Mother! They broke up in November 2017. In 2018, she began a relationship with Cooke Maroney, an art gallery director. They became engaged in February 2019 and married that October in Rhode Island.

Her big break came when she played Ree in Winter's Bone (2010), which landed her Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. Shortly thereafter, she secured the role of Mystique in franchise reboot X-Men: First Class (2011), which went on to be a hit in Summer 2011.

After her sitcom stint, Lawrence made the jump to acting with a breakthrough appearance in the 2010 indie drama "Winter's Bone." The film became a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival that year and garnered Lawrence her first Oscar nomination for best actress.
