Fans Praise Jennifer Lawrence For Keeping Her Family Private

It has now been confirmed that Jennifer Lawrence and her husband, Cooke Maroney, have welcomed their second child together.

The couple is already parents to a three-year-old son, Cy, and has become a family of four following the latest development.

Lawrence and her husband, who are super private about their family, kept the pregnancy and childbirth lowkey, which several fans love about them.

On April 1, sources confirmed to PEOPLE Magazine that “Hunger Games” actress Lawrence welcomed her second baby with Maroney.

The insiders revealed that the couple were spotted strolling in New York City on Monday, March 31, after their baby’s birth.

However, the newborn’s gender remains unknown as the couple has yet to make an official announcement.

After news of Lawrence and Maroney welcoming baby no. 2 made headlines, a Redditor shared the news on the Pop Culture Chat subreddit, and many fans took turns congratulating the couple.

Amid the congratulatory messages, some fans praised Lawrence for keeping her family out of the spotlight.

One person wrote, “Congrats to JLaw! Love that she keeps her personal life quite private and that we know very little about her kid and hopefully the same for this new addition to the family.”

A second Redditor added, “Congrats to Jennifer and her family! I didn’t even know (or must have forgotten because of the lack of publicity) that she was pregnant or that she already had a three-year-old son named Cy.”

A third fan added, “Congrats! Hope mom and baby are doing well. Love that she’s able to keep her family out of the spotlight and have a life to herself.”

The confirmation came after the actress and her husband stepped out to dinner in Los Angeles.

Following the pregnancy news, a source told PEOPLE Magazine that Lawrence was excited.

They shared, “She loves being a mom. She’s thrilled to be pregnant again. It feels like the perfect timing for her. Her son will be 3 when the new baby arrives.”

Lawrence and Maroney, an art gallerist, have been married since October 2019. They wedded at the Belcourt mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.

She said, “It’s so scary to talk about motherhood. 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.”

The mother of two continued, “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.”

She recalled, “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.'”

However, Lawrence fell in love with her baby boy soon after giving birth to him. She confessed, “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.”

Following Cy’s birth, Lawrence “fell in love with all babies everywhere.” She gushed, “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.'”

Jennifer Lawrence went on to express how her mind began to work after she became a mother.

She said, “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.”

The 34-year-old continued, “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.'”

She confessed that her “heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about.” Lawrence added, “I include my husband in that. And then they’re both just, like, out there—walking around, crossing streets.”

The doting mom reflected on her son’s future, saying, “He’s gonna drive one day. He’s gonna be a stupid teenager and be behind the wheel of a car. And I’m gonna just be like, Good night! You know? Like, who sleeps?”
