We don’t know exactly when Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney welcomed their baby. We don’t even know if the child is a boy or a girl, much less their name. But Ellen DeGeneres gave us a pretty solid clue on May 20. While interviewing Lawrence over the phone, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” host, who lives next door to the “Don’t Look Up” star, shared that she get glimpses of Lawrence’s interactions with her infant. “I do hear you sometimes talking to him and it’s really cute,” DeGeneres told Lawrence. Did DeGeneres inadvertently reveal that J. Law had a boy? Only time will tell, but it sure is telling.
In the meantime, we should continue to expect Lawrence and Maroney to guard their child’s privacy as fiercely as they can. They have been doing a pretty good job thus far. Despite giving birth at some point in February, Lawrence managed to stay away from photographers until mid-April, when they captured her strolling with the baby and her family in Los Angeles, Harper’s Bazaar reported.
Lawrence’s actions are deliberate. In her December 2021-January 2022 cover story for Vanity Fair, Lawrence admitted she sees keeping her kid away from the public eye as a priority. “Every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives,” she explained. To achieve that, she understands she’ll need to keep her family and work apart. “I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence.”
