Pregnant actress Jennifer Lawrence made a stylish appearance on the red carpet on October 23, 2024, for the premiere of the reproductive rights documentary ‘Zurawski v Texas’ at the AFI Fest in Los Angeles. The Oscar-winning star showcased her baby bump in a chic off-the-shoulder white buttoned dress, which she complemented by cinching a belt above her growing belly.
Lawrence’s participation at this event was her first public appearance since Us Weekly announced on October 20 that she and her husband, Cooke Maroney, are expecting their second child. After getting married in 2019, the pair already has a two-year-old kid named Cy.
On October 19, Lawrence was spotted showing her baby bump while dining out in Los Angeles, which started rumors that she was pregnant. US has previously revealed that Lawrence and Maroney had been thinking about growing their family, and Vogue was the first to report on her pregnancy.
The couple was considering having another kid, according to a source who mentioned in June 2023 that they were initially hesitant because of the difficulties of parenthood. But they’ve fallen in love with their son Cy and love to show their loved ones moments with him, which has made them more receptive to the notion of having a second child.
In a June 2023 interview with Cameron Diaz for ‘Interview Magazine’, Lawrence talked about how she felt throughout her first pregnancy. She talked about how she was nervous about becoming the focus of the paparazzi’s attention and how it might impact her emotional state. “Being pregnant made me extremely anxious, especially when paparazzi were taking pictures. I was anxious about how to manage my responses to their presence.”
Lawrence understood the value of keeping a composed attitude for her son’s benefit after he was born. “My energy is more important to him than anything else,” she said. If I’m upset or nervous, it will impact him. Consequently, she learned to be more calm when being photographed, stating that she had to accept the circumstance and maintain her composure.
Lawrence, who starred in ‘Causeway’ and ‘Don’t Look Up’, admits that the difficulties of juggling work and motherhood made her think about leaving Hollywood after having her first kid. She stated, “I often consider quitting the industry while I’m working because it’s exhausting,” but she got motivated to return when she saw a great script.
She recognized the challenges of raising a child, she said “Every child has their own unique set of strengths and weaknesses, but I worry that my child will be born into a different lifestyle than his friends”.
Lawrence closed by stressing that her main objective is to make sure her kids feel valued and cherished. “The most crucial thing I can do,” she said, “is to love them and provide a positive example for them.”
