The Hunger Games star has been vocal about the overwhelming joy of becoming a mother. For instance, in a 2022 interview, she described how the birth of her first child, Cy, completely reshaped her perspective.
“I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing,” she recalled.

Lawrence also admitted that her priorities shifted instantly, with her career taking a backseat as she embraced her new role as a mother.
In the same interview, she spoke about the indescribable bond she felt with her son, saying, “I mean, the euphoria of Cy is just—Jesus, it’s impossible. My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that.”

Lawrence and Maroney tied the knot in October 2019, in a ceremony at the Belcourt mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.
Maroney works as the art director for Gladstone Gallery in New York, a position he has held since 2022. He enjoys maintaining a low-profile, which contrasts Lawrence being one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars.
The couple has made a consistent effort in keeping their life largely private, rarely sharing details about their children.

2025 is shaping up to be a very eventful year for Lawrence, who besides welcoming her second child, is also gearing up for the release of her upcoming film, Die My Love.
Billed as a dark comedy thriller, the film is an adaptation of a 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz. Interestingly enough, the story is about a new mother in the French countryside who deals with the effects of postpartum depression.
Opposite Robert Pattinson, the movie’s production began in Calgary, Canada, on August 19, 2024, and wrapped on October 16 of that same year.
While no definitive release date has been reported, the movie is set to be released sometime this year, 2025.
