Adrien Brody is currently the toast of Tinseltown after winning Best Actor at the 97th Academy Awards, and it seems his love life may have contributed to his recent success.
The 51-year-old has certainly cleaned up this awards season and also won a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, and a Critics' Choice Award for his role as László Tóth in The Brutalist.
Brody has been accompanied to the star-studded ceremonies by his girlfriend Georgina Chapman, and has even thanked her in his acceptance speeches, including at the Oscars where he described her as 'amazing.'
The couple are believed to have been dating since 2019 after spending time together at an event at the Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico in April that year.
According to the New York Post, Chapman was in a 'really dark, awful place' before attending the event for Helena Christensen's swimwear line, due to the breakdown of her marriage to disgraced music mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The 48-year-old fashion designer announced that she was divorcing Weinstein, 72, in October 2017 after more than 100 women made accusations of rape, assault, or sexual harassment against him.
'George's close friends told her "you need to get out of the house," she was in a really dark, awful place, she had isolated herself at home, a friend of Chapman's told The Post.
Referring to her and Brody's romance, the source continued: 'They have absolutely been there for each other through highs and lows.

'Their relationship is much more different than the one George had with Harvey, she and Adrien feel more like partners.'
A source also revealed to Page Six that the couple are living together upstate, and during his Oscars speech, Brody appeared to hint that Georgina's two children call him 'popsie.'
Chapman is mother to daughter India, 14, and son Dashiell, 11, from her marriage to Weinstein - who is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2020.
It's been reported that Chapman's brand Marchesa suffered following Weinstein's downfall, and she even cancelled the label's Fall 2018 collection.
'Georgina was always the epitome of grace, brilliance, and warmth — even in the most impossible of circumstances,' the insider added to Page Six.
'Anyone who knew her back then could see she was focused on her work, her children, and maintaining a level of dignity that frankly, many wouldn't have been able to manage given the firestorm she was caught in.
'Georgina's career has had its fair share of troubles too, but they try to champion each other personally, they fill each other with love and try to raise each other up,' they added, referring to her and Brody as a couple.
Prior to his romance with Chapman, the King Kong actor was in a relationship with model Elsa Pataky until 2009 and then Russian model Lara Leito for six years.

But nowadays, Brody only has eyes for Chapman and posed on the Oscars red carpet alongside her, and was also joined by his parents Sylvia Plachy and Elliot Brody.
The actor was later slammed for throwing a piece of chewing gum to Chapman as he made his way up onto the stage to accept his Best Actor award.
Despite repulsing audiences with the move, Adrien has since defended his actions as he spoke on Live With Kelly and Mark moments after his win.
'I could've swallowed it, but I didn't think about that,' he said. 'I had to get rid of it somehow.'
