The Hollywood star got swept off her feet as she hopped on board her hunky new beau's back.

Showing how at ease she is with her new man, the 27-year-old dressed casually in a loose green blazer and cropped grey trousers for their date night.

Clearly one for comfort, Jennifer - or J-Law as she's affectionately known by fans - kicked off her shoes before leaping into her man's arms.

Many women know that feeling at the end of the night when high heels feel like public enemy number one - and it seems that the Silver Linings Playbook star was suffering exactly that.

Luckily she had her chivalrous art gallery director boyfriend on hand to ease the pain.

The pair have been enjoying a series of date nights recently since their relationship became public.

The Oscar-winner was spotted canoodling with Cooke on a double date in the Big Apple.

The group looked in high-spirits as they chatted during a cigarette break outside the restaurant where they dined.

The star and her 33-year-old boyfriend met through mutual friends.

A source told  that: "The relationship has been going on a few weeks but they have been very private and careful not to be seen together."

And judging by the pictures the couple are clearly smitten with each other.

The pair linked up after the Hunger Games star split with Aaron Aronofsky in November.

Aaron and Jennifer started dating after he directed her in Mother! but called it quits after 12 months.

The Silver Linings Playbook star recently admitted that she's scared to have sex in case she catches an STD.

She said: "I always talk like I want d**k, but the truth is when I look back at my sexual past it was always with boyfriends.

"I talk like I like it, but I don’t really do it.”

She continued: “I am mostly also a germaphobe. I have made it this far without an STI.

"D**k is dangerous. If I was at the point where I could get an STI, doctors have already been involved. That is how much of a germaphobe I am.”

She had confessed in March that: “I would like to have a relationship, you know — it’s hard out there!”

The actress was previously linked to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and had an on-off relationship with her X-Men: First Class co-star Nicholas Hoult.
