Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, 34, and her art gallerist husband Cooke Maroney, 40, are expanding their family, as confirmed by Vogue on Sunday, October 20, 2024. The couple, who welcomed their first child, son Cy, in February 2022, were spotted in Los Angeles where Lawrence displayed her visible baby bump during a dinner outing on October 19.
The announcement comes at a time when Lawrence's career continues to flourish, having recently balanced motherhood with successful projects like "No Hard Feelings." In a revealing June 2023 interview with Interview Magazine, Lawrence discussed her evolution as a parent, sharing candid insights about protecting her firstborn from media attention. "I was so nervous when I was pregnant," she admitted, describing her initial concerns about paparazzi encounters.
The couple's parenting journey has significantly influenced their professional decisions. Lawrence has become more selective with her projects since Cy's arrival, noting, "There's no squeezing when you have a baby." Sources close to the family revealed to Us Weekly in June 2023 that the couple had been considering a second child, stating they were "obsessed with Cy and love showing off videos to their friends and family."
Maroney, whom Lawrence married in October 2019, has earned high praise from his wife for his parenting skills. "He's the greatest father in the entire world," Lawrence told Interview Magazine, discussing how his support has helped her manage work-life balance.
The "Hunger Games" star has been remarkably open about the transformative impact of motherhood. In a 2022 Vogue interview, she expressed the profound change parenthood brought: "The euphoria of Cy is just— Jesus, it's impossible. I always tell him, I love you so much it's impossible."
The couple named their firstborn after painter Cy Twombly, reflecting their shared appreciation for art. As they prepare for their second child, Lawrence and Maroney continue to maintain their privacy while balancing their public profiles with family life.
