Chris Martin's friends aren't surprised he is smitten with Jennifer Lawrence.
The Coldplay frontman, who split from Gwyneth Paltrow in March after 10 years of marriage, is said to be very happy with the 'Hunger Games' actress and his pals believe she has a lot in common with his estranged wife.
A source close to the 37-year-old British rocker said: "Although Jennifer is different from Gwyneth, both girls are earthy. They like to play and act silly at times."
However, the 'Magic' hitmaker's close friends believe he has much more in common with the 24-year-old star.
The insider added: "Chris is happy because he and Jennifer are on the same wavelength."
Chris, who has daughter Apple, 10, and son Moses, eight, with Gwyneth has also helped Jennifer finally move on from her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, whom she split from earlier this year after four years together.
The source told PEOPLE magazine: "They found each other when both needed someone new."
Although their romance is still going strong, the couple are still eager to avoid being photographed together and prefer to spend quality time together at home.
The friend said: "They usually stay in for dinner."
