The 28-year-old X-Men: Dark Phoenix actress opened up for the first time about her husband-to-be this week, explaining why Maroney is “the one.” “Well, he’s just the best person I’ve ever met in my whole life,” Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight of her fiancé on Tuesday at the film’s premiere. “It was a very, very easy decision.” The two got engaged back in February when Lawrence was spotted wearing a diamond engagement ring during a night out in New York City.
