The Silver Linings PlaybookAfter one year of dating, Maroney, 37 and star, tied the knot on October 2019, after a year together. News broke in February that Lawrence gave birth to the pair’s first child, five months after her pregnancy made headlines. The newborn’s name and sex were not immediately revealed.
Before becoming a mom, Lawrence opened up about wanting to maintain her future child’s privacy despite her Hollywood status. “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. You psycho, get away from me!’” she told Vanity Fairin her December 2021/January 222 cover story, published in November 2021. “But every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can. … I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work.”
