Jennifer Lawrence is reportedly expecting her first child with her husband, Cooke Maroney. The news of her pregnancy was officially confirmed to People by her representatives.
The actress was also photographed sporting a baby bump as she enjoyed a stroll across the streets of New York on Wednesday, September 8, 2021.
The couple is set to welcome their first child after nearly two years of marriage. In June 2019, sources close to the pair told ET Online that the duo was planning to start a family:
"They both want children and have been discussing starting a family. Their families truly believe they are meant to be; his family loves her family and vice versa, so their parents are excited. Their parents get along so well and are all looking forward to big family get-togethers."
Jennifer Lawrence tied the knot with Cooke Maroney on October 19, 2019, in Rhode Island. The intimate wedding ceremony was a star-studded affair, with guests including A-listers like Adele, Emma Stone, Kris Jenner, Cameron Diaz, Ashley Olsen, Amy Schumer and Sienna Miller, among others.
The couple celebrated the occasion at the historic Belcourt Castle of Newport, a mansion curated to look like Louis XIII’s Versailles residence. The Hunger Games star stunned the crowd as she wore a gorgeous Dior gown.

"It's just — this is the one, I know that sounds really stupid but he's just, he's — you know. He's the greatest person I've ever met… He really is, and he gets better, so I feel very honored to become a Maroney."
Cooke Maroney and Jennifer Lawrence have been inseparable ever since they began dating. The couple is now waiting to welcome their first child together.
