Jennifer Lawrence’s pregnancy

TMZ was the first to obtain public records about Lawrence giving birth. This is the first child for Maroney and Lawrence. At publication, the baby’s sex, name, and date of birth are unknown. Stay tuned to Showbiz for updates.
Jennifer Lawrence’s wedding took place in October 2019
News of Lawrence’s relationship with Maroney, who works as a director at New York’s Gladstone Gallery, first broke in June 2018. The couple was allegedly introduced by Lawrence’s friend Laura Simpson. According to a source, “the relationship [had] been going on a few weeks. But they have been very private and careful not to be seen together” (via Page Six).
In June 2019, Lawrence referred to Maroney as “the greatest person I’ve ever met” on the Naked with Catt Sadler podcast. “I feel very honored to become a Maroney.”
Lawrence was previously in relationships with her X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult from 2010 to 2014. Later, she dated director Darren Aronofsky from 2016 to 2017.
Jennifer Lawrence once said she wants to ‘protect her baby’s privacy’
It could be some time before fans learn more about Lawrence and Maroney’s baby. In a November 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Lawrence talked about how grateful and excited she was to be pregnant. She also admitted she felt scared to share her pregnancy with the world.
“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 outlet. “But 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.”
