Then they were seen enjoying a cozy weekend in New York City in April and spotted together again in May in Los Angeles.

However, in August 2015, multiple sources told PEOPLE thatLawrence and Martin split for the final time.

“Chris doesn’t really want the relationship to end, but he needs to be flexible so he can see his family as much as possible with his own work schedule,” said a Martin source. “He’s crazy about Jen but wants to keep his own schedule and be able to do what he wants when he wants to do it.”

According to a Lawrence friend, the actress got “tired of Chris being so noncommittal.”
