Jennifer Lawrence and husband Cooke Maroney will soon become a family of four. The Oscar-winning actor is pregnant with her second child!
On Sunday, Oct. 20, Vogue confirmed that Lawrence, 34, and Maroney, 40, are currently expecting another baby. The magazine shared the pregnancy news in an article and on its Instagram page.
In Vogue’s Instagram post, which showed a photo of Lawrence posing for the magazine in October 2022 and a snap of her with a tiny baby bump in Los Angeles on Oct. 19, the fashion outlet congratulated the couple and said a representative had confirmed the news.
This will be the second baby for Lawrence and Maroney, who are parents to 2-year-old son Cy Maroney.
Lawrence and her husband, an art gallery dealer, have been married since 2019. British Vogue reported at the time that they said “I do” at the Belcourt of Newport mansion in Rhode Island with celebrity friends like Emma Stone, Adele and Kris Jenner in attendance.
From the moment they started dating, Lawrence and Maroney have mostly kept their relationship out of the public eye, with the “No Hard Feelings” star making rare comments about him over the past few years since tying the knot.
She questioned if he was the right person for her in an interview with The New York Times in 2022.
“When you don’t fully know yourself, you have no idea where to put yourself,” she explained. “And then I met my husband, and he was like, ‘Put yourself here.’ I was like, ‘That feels right, but what if it’s not?’”
But, she realized that she was ready to commit to Maroney.
“I wasn’t conscious of it. Then I went back, and when I’m home with my husband making this family, I’m so happy I stayed,” she continued. “I’m so happy I didn’t freak out and cancel the wedding and run away and go, ‘I’ll never be taken down!’”
She also opened up about choosing to take his last name and become Jennifer Maroney.
“I was born with the name Jennifer Lawrence, but that got taken from me when I was 21 and I never got it back,” she noted. “So it didn’t feel like I was giving up anything. That name already belongs to them.”
Maroney and Lawrence took another step in their relationship when they became parents. She spoke about motherhood and watching Maroney care for their son while chatting to Cameron Diaz for Interview Magazine in June 2023.
She said that since giving birth she has had to change her criteria when it comes to signing on for new film projects.
“Is this worth being away from my child for half the day?” she now asks herself.
She added, “Fortunately, my husband is the greatest father in the entire world. So when I’m working, I don’t have any more guilt than the usual every day, all-day parent guilt.”
Although Lawrence hasn’t appeared in a movie since “No Hard Feelings,” she has multiple films in production and development, according to IMDb.
