Jennifer Lawrence revealed the gender of her second child as she opened up about her postpartum anxiety battle after giving birth earlier this year.
The 35-year-old actress welcomed her second baby, now over six months old, in March with her husband, art gallery director Cooke Maroney, 41.
While talking about her new film, the movie adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's novel Die, My Love, produced by Martin Scorsese, she revealed she welcomed a second son — whose name is rumored to be Louie.
Now as a mother to two boys, she opened up about her ongoing postpartum experience since giving birth to her infant son half a year ago.
She said that with the birth of her first child Cy in February 2022, she 'wasn't really having a bad postpartum.'
In contrast, she told The New Yorker in an interview published on Monday: 'I had a worse postpartum with my second, but the first time the only thing I was at war with was the rest of the world.'
'I just thought every time he was sleeping he was dead,' the Oscar winner said.
'I thought he cried because he didn’t like his life, or me, or his family. I thought I was doing everything wrong, and that I would ruin my children.'
Lawrence said she was prescribed Zurzuvae, a recently developed drug, to help with her postpartum anxiety.
She recounted a story about crying while asking ChatGPT a question about breastfeeding, and said the kind response from AI chatbot made her more anxious and doubt herself even more.
'You're doing the most amazing thing for your baby. You're such a loving mother,' it had told her, but she said that a robot would tell her that made her question the sincerity of other people who said the same thing to her.
During the same interview, the No Hard Feelings star talked about her longtime battle with anxiety.
'I feel like I am driven by anxiety,' she shared at one point. 'When I was a kid, I soothed my anxiety by trying to be good, trying to do the right thing, so that I wouldn't upset God or my parents.'
Journalist Jia Tolentino also 'mostly jokingly' asked Lawrence about what cosmetic procedures she has undergone in the interview before the star answered honestly.
The Hunger Games alum said she she has not gotten fillers because they 'show on camera' but she gets Botox — just a little so she can still 'use her forehead and play people who don't have access to celebrity dermatology.'
When asked if she'd gotten a facelift, she replied: 'No, but believe me, I'm gonna!'
She was spotted carrying a beaded keychain with her first son's name Cy and another that read 'Louie,' the rumored moniker of her second baby.
The actress first announced her second pregnancy publicly when her representative confirmed the news to Vogue in an article published in October 2024.
The Kentucky native and Cooke married in October 2019 at the Belcourt mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.
Maroney has worked as the art gallery director for Gladstone Gallery in New York City since 2022.
Last October, an insider teased to People magazine that JLaw's son Cy 'will be 3 when the new baby arrives.'
'She loves being a mom. She’s thrilled to be pregnant again. It feels like the perfect timing to her. Her son will 3 when the new baby arrives,' they added.
In a 2022 interview with Vogue, Lawrence opened up about the joy of becoming a first-time mother, sharing that the birth of her son Cy 'felt like my whole life had started over.'
'I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing,' she gushed.
Elsewhere in the conversation, she described, 'I mean the euphoria of Cy is just — Jesus, it's impossible. My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn't know about. I include my husband in that.'
