Jennifer Lawrence And Cooke Maroney Were Seen For The First Time Since The Birth Of Their Baby

Article updated on 22/06/23: Jennifer Lawrence has opened up about raising her son Cy and how motherhood has changed her perspective of work.

In an interview with fellow actor Cameron Diaz for Interview magazine, Lawrence noted about the possibility of leaving the film industry: 'I think about dipping out a lot when I’m working.

'I’m like, "I’m not going to be doing this forever. I’m tired. This is hard." Then you take a few months off, you read something terrific, and you’re like, "Oh my god, I have to make this." So I don’t know if I can answer that question. Of course, I’ve contemplated having a child that’s being born into a lifestyle that’s different from his friends. But kids have advantages and disadvantages when they’re born, all of them. The best thing I can do is just make sure he knows he’s loved, and that he’s our number one priority, and try to be a good example of kindness. I’m sure there will be challenges specifically from my choices and my lifestyle, and we’ll both have to confront that and deal with it when that day comes.'

The actor added that she does her 'best' to protect her son, despite the media attention.

'I was so nervous when I was pregnant. I was getting paparazzi’d, and I was just like, "How the f*ck 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 realised that my energy is more important to him than anything else,' she explained. '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. 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, and take a deep breath and walk. I don’t want him to inherit the anxiety and anger that I have.'

On her art expert husband, Cooke Maroney, Lawrence gushed: '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.'

Article updated on 27/03/23: Since Jennifer Lawrence welcomed her son Cy in February 2022 with her art gallerist husband Cooke Maroney, the family-of-three have kept a low profile.

But the trio was spotted on a rare public outing in New York over the weekend, enjoying the spring sunshine.

The actor donned an effortlessly chic look, comprising of a black turtleneck; navy softly tailored coat; wide-leg jeans a belt and teal low-tops.

She scraped her hair back into a high ponytail and accessorised the ensemble with oval sunglasses and a slouchy tan leather shoulder bag. She also held on to her son’s sweet yellow coat and baseball cap.

Meanwhile, Maroney, dressed similarly casual in a fleeced jacket, simple grey T-shirt and khaki trousers, pushed their son in his pram.

Article updated on 21/10/22: After giving birth to her and husband Cooke Maroney's first baby eight months ago, Jennifer Lawrence was seen in Long Island, New York on the set of her new comedy No Hard Feelings.

The actor styled her dress with shimmery, silver heels, and accessorised with a pink choker, and silver pendant chain necklace.

She wore natural-looking make-up and wore her hair down in loose waves.

And despite wearing vertiginous heels, while filming a scene outside of the NYC pet rescue centre, North Shore Animal League, Lawrence's character picked up a mountain bike and tossed it into the back of a van.

Jennifer Lawrence typically avoids sharing details about her private life, but in a recent interview with American Vogue, the first-time mum revealed the name and sex of her newborn baby.

The Hunger Games alumni told the publication her and Cooke Maroney's baby is a boy named Cy 'after the postwar American painter Cy Twombly, one of Maroney’s favourite artists', the outlet explained.

She also admitted to finding it 'so scary to talk about motherhood'.

Lawrence elaborated: '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." Fortunately I have so many girlfriends who were honest. Who were like, "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. I remember walking with one of my best friends at, like, nine months, and being like, "Everyone keeps saying that I will love my baby more than my cat. But that’s not true. Maybe I’ll love him as much as my cat?"'

She continued: 'The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over.

'Like, "Now is day one of my life." I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing. They’re these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors. Now I love all babies. Now I hear a baby crying in a restaurant and I’m like, Awwww, preciousssss.

Lawrence added: 'So many of my films in the past have been about my mother, my childhood.

'I wonder what will happen now that I’ll be witnessing somebody else’s childhood. And I wonder what he’s going to be talking about with his therapist. "She wouldn’t put me down. She kisses me on the mouth. She asked me not to go to college."'

As for how motherhood has changed her, she said: 'My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about.

'I include my husband in that. And then they’re both just, like, out there—walking around, crossing streets. He’s gonna drive one day. He’s gonna be a stupid teenager and be behind the wheel of a car. And I’m just gonna be like, Good night! You know? Like, who sleeps?'

She later gushed: 'I mean the euphoria of Cy is just—Jesus, it’s impossible.

'I always tell him, I love you so much it’s impossible.'

Jennifer Lawrence has given birth to her first child with husband Cooke Maroney, we've been informed.

The Mother! actor reportedly welcomed her and the art gallery director's baby in Los Angeles County, but the official birthdate and sex of their child is yet to be confirmed.

Lawrence was first rumoured to be pregnant in September 2021 when she was photographed in New York City with what appeared to be a baby bump.

A representative for the Oscar-winning star later confirmed the suspected news to be true.

Lawrence later opened up about personal pregnancy boundaries, speaking to Vanity Fair.

She discussed the pressure she experienced, when it comes to divulging information about her future child, expressing her anxiety around what to keep private and what to open up about: 'If I was at a dinner party, and somebody was like, "Oh, my God, you’re expecting a baby," I wouldn’t be like, ‘God, I can’t talk about that. Get away from me, you psycho!' she told the publication.

However, 'Every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can. I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence. And I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work.'

Last September, a source spoke to People about Lawrence's approach towards parenthood and her life with Maroney, who she married in a lavish Rhode Island ceremony in October 2019.

The source said: 'Jen wanted a family for a long time and found an ideal mate whom she loves, respects and enjoys being around.

'She loves married life, and they have a solid foundation for a baby. She is very happy and looking forward to being a mom.'

Addressing how Lawrence is likely to approach balancing motherhood with work, the insider added: 'She loves her work and that will continue.

'Like other actors, she will balance her career and her life as a wife and mom. She will do it well. Jen is grounded and ready to be a parent because she loves family life.

'She knows a fulfilled mom is better than one who gives up what she loves then regrets it," the source says. "I doubt that would ever happen with her.'

Further to her own choice to have a child, Lawrence has also actively championed the need for other women to be able to make decisions about their bodies, advocating for planned parenthood in October 2021 by joining a rally for abortion justice - while already pregnant - alongside Amy Schumer.
