It is with great glee that the Oscar-winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence, announced her pregnancy for her second child, alongside her husband, Cooke Maroney. Already parents to a son named Cy born in 2022, the couple announced this news this October 2024. Lawrence’s baby bump was recently captured during an outing in Los Angeles, bringing on quite a media storm.
This pregnancy news is a reflection that the actress has still been enjoying motherhood in that she and Maroney—an art gallery director—have enjoyed raising their first child, Cy. Sources say Lawrence and Maroney have been thinking about adding to their family since Cy was born; reportedly, the couple warmed up to the idea of a second child after being cold toward the idea. So far, parenthood has been so evident in both parents, who have been showcasing their son to friends and family. The announcement of the second baby has thrilled their fans, who look up to Lawrence not only for her acting abilities but also for her humility with regard to life and family.
The Couple’s Relationship and Family Journey
Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney’s romance has been headline news since the couple began dating in 2018. Later, in October 2019, they secretly married, and Lawrence has publicly called Maroney the “greatest person [she’s] ever met.” The decision to become parents only brought them closer together, and the birth of their first child, Cy, in early 2022 provided them with one more significant milestone as a couple. The art world of Maroney is notoriously private, but the couple’s few sightings—out and about in New York and Los Angeles with their daughter—have been a welcome treat for fans.
Media Reactions and Public Interest
Predictably enough, news of Lawrence’s second pregnancy has sent the presses into overdrive worldwide. Major entertainment outlets like Marie Claire, People and Just Jared were the first to break the news, among many others. Not only have those sources highlighted her pregnancy, but they also spoke about Lawrence’s journey into motherhood with Cy. According to Marie Claire, it has been a dream run for Lawrence and Maroney as parents, which might mean their growing family is just what they’ve wanted.
This also reminded one of how frank Lawrence was during her first pregnancy, where, through humor, she spoke about the journey. She has also kept her presence felt and vocals high for women’s rights, attending public demonstrations like the Women’s March alongside other celebrities such as Amy Schumer.
How Jennifer Lawrence Balances Fame, Family, and Activism
Even with all the fame in the world, Jennifer Lawrence has kept her family life as private as possible, giving snippets of her life as a mom here and there. Indeed, that silver lining in keeping private yet advocating publicly keeps her on top of the pedestal in Hollywood. During the pregnancy, she was pretty low-key—mostly giving very few interviews and avoiding the limelight that characterizes such news in Hollywood.
She has also taken to the public stage to discuss larger social concerns, relating her experiences as a mother to her opinions on women’s rights and healthcare. After giving birth to Cy, Lawrence was refreshingly honest about the struggles of parenthood: it’s rewarding but overwhelming at times—a sentiment many fans and mothers worldwide welcomed for its honesty.
Next Up: What’s On the Horizon for Jennifer Lawrence
In this new phase of her life, Jennifer Lawrence will be watched as she rejoins motherhood. Her career is still running, and projects are pipelined, but for now, pretty much, it is very apparent that family is everything. As with the first pregnancy, much of this will likely remain very private for Lawrence, who will share whatever details she feels ready to do so.
With her history of speaking candidly about issues she’s passionate about, such as gender equality and environmental concerns, Lawrence might well continue to integrate her public and personal life in a way that champions causes while yet retaining much of the guardedness she holds in such high regard.
