Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence may be ready to take their romance public, but that doesn't mean the low-key couple want to live out their romance in the spotlight.

According to sources, Lawrence and Martin, who have been quietly dating since June, prefer to enjoy their date nights in the comfort of Martin's Malibu mansion to avoid public attention and be respectful of Martin's split from wife Gwyneth Paltrow.

Since splitting from Gwyneth Paltrow in March, Chris Martin has continued putting family first. But with Jennifer Lawrence now in his life, the Coldplay frontman has made fitting in quality time with his new girlfriend look as easy as his conscious uncoupling from Paltrow, 41.

"Jen has made a few visits to his Malibu house," says a source. "Chris seems very respectful of Gwyneth and feels more comfortable spending time with Jen away from his family."

Lawrence, 24, and Martin, 37, also stepped out for a romantic date night at Beverly Hills eatery La Dolce Vita on Sept. 8, where an onlooker says the new couple "were super cute together and laughed a lot."

The pair were also spotted together at LA's Chateau Marmont with a group of friends, where Martin reportedly introduced Lawrence as his "girlfriend."

"They seem very comfortable in each others company — and happy!" an eyewitness told E! News of the couple's LA date night. "It doesn't seem like it's a new relationship. They seem super affectionate and at ease with each other."

E! News also notes that The Academy Award winner introduced herself to Martin's friends, who welcomed her warmly. "She is very gregarious and confident," the source says. When Martin wasn't rubbing Lawrence's back, the "affectionate" musician often held his girlfriend's hand.

Despite the strides Martin is making with Lawrence, the singer remains a committed father. On weekends, the singer has been all about his kids Apple, 10, and Moses, 8.

"Gwyneth and Chris take the kids for brunch or dinner together every weekend," says the source. "He and Gwyneth still share responsibilities when it comes to their two kids."

At the Hungry Cat restaurant in Santa Monica on Sept. 13, "they were very friendly to each other," an onlooker tells WHO about the pair, who did not wear their wedding rings.

"They looked like a happy family."
