Jennifer Lawrence is expecting baby number 2 with Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence is expecting baby number 2 with Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence is expanding her family: the Oscar winner is expecting her second child.

A “Hunger Games” rep confirmed her pregnancy to Vogue on Sunday. The fashion magazine, which shared the news in an Instagram post, noted that the actor went out to dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday with his baby bump “just visible.”

Representatives for Lawrence did not immediately respond to The Times’ requests for comment Monday.

Lawrence, 34, and her husband of five years, Cooke Maroney, are already parents to 2-year-old son Cy. She and Maroney, an art gallery owner, married in October 2019 in Newport, RI, and have kept their relationship out of the public eye.

The movie star took a break after working almost continuously since bursting onto the film scene in “Winter’s Bone” (2010), winning an Oscar for “Silver Linings Playbook,” becoming a superstar worldwide in “The Hunger Games” franchise and starred in several Academy Award esteemed, then falling out of favor due to his goofy behavior. He returned to acting and producing with the 2022 film “Causeway” and released the raunchy comedy “No Hard Feelings” last year.

This week, he will premiere the documentary “Zurawski v Texas,” a portrait of women who sued the Lone Star state after it passed strict anti-abortion laws, which he executive produced with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. While pregnant in 2021, Lawrence joined comedian Amy Schumer in supporting abortion rights during the Women’s March demonstrations.

In an interview with reality star and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner last November, Lawrence talked about trying to keep her family out of the spotlight. She said she didn’t use that much security until she welcomed her first child in 2022.

“But once I had one, with my intrusive thoughts and anxiety, I wanted us to be safe all the time,” Lawrence told Interview. The “Don’t Look Up” star said she initially struggled with having her safety gear, but has since figured it out.

“Before I hired them, I thought I wanted them to be invisible. I don’t want my son to see you or know you. And then once they start working for you, it’s like, ‘Well, wait. This is a person in our life. This is not a good lesson to say to the person who is helping us. Hello. How are you? our lives, which surprised me. It wasn’t how I planned it.”
