Meet Cy!
Jennifer Lawrence revealed the name and gender of her 6-month-old on Tuesday, telling Vogue in her October 2022 cover story that she gave birth to a baby boy in February.
The little one’s nickname was inspired by one of her husband Cooke Maroney’s favorite artists, Cy Twombly.
The Oscar winner felt like her “whole life… had started over” as they welcomed the baby, calling his arrival their new “day one.”
Lawrence, 32, explained: “I just stared. I was just so in love.”
The ‘Don’t Look Up’ star “was also in love with all the babies everywhere back then,” and gushed, “Newborns are just so amazing. They’re these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors. Now I love all babies. … My heart has stretched to a capacity I knew nothing about.”

However, Lawrence was willing to “so forgive” herself if she didn’t bond with her newborn immediately.
“I remember going for a walk with one of my best friends when I was about nine months old and I was like, ‘Everybody always says I’m going to love my baby more than my cat. But that’s not true. Maybe I’ll love him like my cat?’” she recalled.
The ‘Hunger Games’ star noted that she got pregnant before conceiving her son but had to have a D&C after a miscarriage.

The pregnancy loss wasn’t her first, as Lawrence “miscarried alone in Montreal” in her early 20s.
The mother!” The star, who has just come off a two-year break from acting, believes motherhood will now influence her projects.
“I’ve had a pretty consistent theme in all my films since I was 18,” she told the magazine. “I’m excited to finally break out now that I’m older and have a baby.”
Ahead of the birth last year, Lawrence told Vanity Fair that she has no plans to go public with her child’s life.
“Every instinct in my body is to protect her privacy for the rest of her life as best I can,” the then-star-to-be said in November 2021.
By May the following year, Ellen DeGeneres appeared to spill the beans over Lawrence’s baby gender.
“I hear you talk to him sometimes,” Lawrence’s neighbor DeGeneres said during the May interview. “It is so sweet.”
