Jennifer Lawrence has confirmed she is pregnant with her second child with her art gallerist husband, Cooke Maroney. The couple were first linked in 2018, and have been married since 2019. They share a two-year-old son, Cy.
Historically, Lawrence, 34, has been private about her family life. When she and her husband welcomed her son Cy in February 2022, the actress chose not to confirm his arrival or name for several months. In October that year, she told Vogue: “It’s so scary to talk about motherhood… Only because it’s so different for everybody. If I say ‘It was amazing from the start,’ some people will think, It wasn’t amazing for me at first, and feel bad.”
Who Is Jennifer Lawrence’s Husband Cooke Maroney?
Maroney, an art gallery director, stole our gal Jen’s heart from the get go.
In 2019, she said in an interview on the podcast NAKED With Cat Sandler that she felt the gallerist and long cool glass of water Maroney was a sure thing from the moment she met him.
“I just met Cooke, and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully. He’s my best friend, so I want to legally bind him to me forever,” the actor quipped.
“Fortunately, the paperwork exists for such a thing. It’s the greatest. You find your favourite person on the planet, you’re like: You can’t leave.”
In a separate interview Jen elaborated on becoming legally bound to Cooke: “This is the one, I know that sounds really stupid but he’s just… He’s the greatest person I’ve ever met, so I feel very honoured to become a Maroney.”
How Motherhood Has Made Jennifer Lawrence More Political (And Her Upcoming Roe. V Wade Documentary
Lawrence has been outspoken in interviews about her feelings about Roe v Wade. “I tried to get over it and I really can’t,” she said in the same interview with Vogue in 2022, “I can’t. I’m sorry I’m just unleashing but I can’t fuck with people who aren’t political anymore. You live in the United States of America. You have to be political. It’s too dire. Politics are killing people.”
Lawrence was raised in a conservative household in Kentucky and has publicly discussed the difficulty of “forgiving” her republican family for their political views. She said in the same interview with Vogue that motherhood had made her even more outspoken about politics. “I had a great pregnancy,” she said, “I had a very fortunate pregnancy. But every single second of my life was different. And it would occur to me sometimes: “What if I was forced to do this?”
This sentiment seems to have prompted Lawrence to step behind the screen.
J Law, known best for her roles as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and in romantic comedies like Silver Linings Playbook and No Hard Feelings, recently wrapped filming on director Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love, opposite Robert Pattinson.
But this year, she has been busy as an executive behind the scenes producing several documentaries.
This week, her documentary Zurawski v Texas, about the implementation and impact of abortion laws in Texas, will premiere. She co-produced the documentary alongside Hilary Clinton. In November, Bread & Roses, a documentary about Afghan women living in Taliban-ruled Kabul that Lawrence co-produced with Malala Yousafazi, will be streaming on Apple TV+.
