Jennifer Lawrence is set to embrace motherhood once again, as she and her husband, Cooke Maroney, are expecting their second child. A representative for the Oscar-winning actress confirmed the news to Vogue on Sunday.
Lawrence and Maroney, who is the director of an art gallery, are already parents to their son, Cy, born in 2022. The couple tied the knot in 2019 and have enjoyed a fulfilling family life since then.
In a 2022 interview with Vogue, Lawrence opened up about the challenges and joys of motherhood, describing her experiences as both thrilling and daunting. She admitted that discussing motherhood can be “scary” because every woman’s journey is unique. Fortunately, she had the support of close friends who shared their honest experiences, reassuring her that it’s okay not to feel an instant connection with her child. “It’s scary. You might not connect right away. You might not fall in love right away. So I felt so prepared to be forgiving,” she shared.
Reflecting on the day after Cy’s birth, Lawrence expressed how transformative the experience was for her. “I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, ‘Now is day one of my life,’” she recalled. This new chapter filled her with immense love, leading her to discover emotional depths she hadn’t previously known. “My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that,” she added.
As Lawrence prepares to welcome another child, her candid reflections on motherhood resonate with many parents navigating the complexities of early parenthood. With her growing family, she is sure to continue sharing insights that inspire others on their parenting journeys.
