Actress Jennifer Lawrence is reportedly expecting her second child with husband Cooke Maroney. The couple welcomed their son Cy in February 2022. The news was announced in a Vogue story shared on Sunday, Oct. 20. The Hunger Games actress was seen in Los Angeles on Friday night wearing a La Ligne T-shirt and sweater that outlined her growing baby bump. A rep confirmed the pregnancy to the publication soon afterwards.
In a previous interview with Vogue, Lawrence talked about becoming a mother, saying, “I mean the euphoria of Cy is just—Jesus, it’s impossible. I always tell him, I love you so much it’s impossible.”
In a 2021 Vanity Fair interview, Lawrence shared a bit about their relationship with Maroney and how he encourages her to live a normal life.
“I really enjoy going to the grocery store with him,” she said. “I don’t know why but it fills me with a lot of joy. I think maybe because it’s almost a metaphor for marriage. ‘Okay, we’ve got this list. These are the things we need. Let’s work together and get this done.’ And I always get one of the cooking magazines, like 15 Minute Healthy Meals, and he always gives me a look like, ‘You’re not going to use that. When are you going to make that?’ And I say, ‘Yes, I am. Tuesday!’ And he’s always right, and I never do.”
In 2023, Lawrence said in Interview Magazine that her relationship to fame was changed by having a child. When asked how she tries to protect her son, Lawrence replied, “I do my best.”
She continued, “I was so nervous when I was pregnant. I was getting paparazzi’d, and I was just like, ‘How the fuck am I not going to lose it on these guys when they’re taking a picture of my baby?’ Then once he was here, I realized that my energy is more important to him than anything else. So if he feels that I’m anxious before I leave the house, or I’m angry when we’re outside, that’s going to impact him.”
Lawrence added, “So it’s actually done the opposite, where I’ve gotten a little bit more zen and a little bit more relaxed with getting photographed because I don’t have a choice. You just have to accept it, take a deep breath and walk. I don’t want him to inherit the anxiety and anger that I have.”
