Jennifer Lawrence and her husband Cooke Maroney are set to become parents soon, and People got insight into Lawrence’s headspace during her first pregnancy as she prepares for life as a working parent.
A film source close to Lawrence told the outlet that Lawrence and Maroney are in a great place as a couple, and this next step is an exciting one for them. “Jen wanted a family for a long time and found an ideal mate whom she loves, respects, and enjoys being around,” the source said. “She loves married life, and they have a solid foundation for a baby. She is very happy and looking forward to being a mom.”
Lawrence has no plans to put her film career on hold either. “She loves her work and that will continue,” the source said. “Like other actors, she will balance her career and her life as a wife and mom. She will do it well. Jen is grounded and ready to be a parent because she loves family life. She knows a fulfilled mom is better than one who gives up what she loves then regrets it. I doubt that would ever happen with her.”

Lawrence spoke in June 2019 about falling for Maroney and how she knew she wanted to be with him permanently. “I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like, ‘I’m ready to get married,’” she started. “I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully. He’s my best friend so I want to legally bind him to me forever. And fortunately the paperwork exists for such a thing. It’s the greatest. You find your favorite person on the planet and you’re like you can’t leave. So I wanted to take that offer,” she finished with a laugh.
Lawrence and Maroney got married in October 2019.
