Jennifer Lawrence reflects on motherhood and career | JQJO

Jennifer Lawrence reflected on the trade-offs of being a working mother of two during The New York Times’ The Interview podcast, saying parenthood is “gratifying” yet “sacrificial.” She admitted she now turns down opportunities, wrestles with loving her creative work, and “would not be complete” without making movies. Lawrence said early on she thought acting fit hands-on motherhood, but realized that view was shaped by Covid. She and husband Cooke Maroney welcomed son Cy in 2022 and a second son in April; his name is unconfirmed, though believed to be Louie.
