Days later, on Feb. 2,they were spotted on another date, grabbing dinnerat Raoul’s, an upscale French restaurant. The two dressed casually for the evening, with Lawrence warm in a long coat while Maroney sported a camouflage bomber jacket with a white tee underneath and black jeans.
It’s at that dinner that aPage Sixsource saw Lawrence wearing a“massive ring”while enjoying what appeared to be a celebratory dinner. “It was a giant rock. They seemed like they were celebrating and people were talking about it,” a source told the outlet. “The ring was very noticeable. They were sitting back in a corner. She was wearing a cute black dress with white polka dots.”
Lawrence’s rep confirmed the engagementto PEOPLE in February 2019.
