In September 2021, nearly two years after her wedding to Cooke Maroney, People reported that they were expecting a baby. The following February, TMZ reported that their little bundle of joy had arrived. Later that year, Lawrence opened up about her experience as a new mom while interviewed for Vogue. “It’s so scary to talk about motherhood,” she said. “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.”
Having a child, she added, had left her fundamentally changed as a person. “My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about,” she explained. “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. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. 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.'”

That interview also revealed that Lawrence’s baby was a boy, whom they’d named Cy. The name, Vogue pointed out, is emblematic of the couple’s shared passion for art, with their son named after painter Cy Twombly, an American painter and sculptor whose work is among Maroney’s favorites.
