Has Hollywood’s worst-kept secret finally come out?
Ellen DeGeneres has seemingly confirmed that Jennifer Lawrence and her husband, Cooke Maroney, have welcomed their first child together. And she may have slipped that the baby is a boy.
TMZ reported in February that the 31-year-old Oscar winner had given birth, but her reps never confirmed the story.
“People don’t know this, but I was living in the house you live in now when I started the show 20 years ago,” the talk show host, 64, told Lawrence, during a phone interview during Monday’s episode.
“Now I live next door to you and watch you live in my house with a brand new baby,” DeGeneres continued. “By the way, I sometimes hear you talking to him.”
DeGeneres added that the conversations were “really cute.”
In November 2021, Lawrence revealed that she was already feeling the mommy-bear instinct.
“If I was at a dinner party and someone said to me, ‘Oh my God, you’re having a baby,’ I wouldn’t say, ‘God, I can’t talk about this. Get away from me, You psychopath!” Lawrence told Vanity Fair. ”But every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their life, as much as possible.”
“I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into his existence,” the Oscar-winning actor added. “And I feel like that starts with not including them in that part of my job.”
Lawrence is also tight-lipped about her relationship with art gallery manager Maroney. The couple married in Rhode Island in October 2019.
While speaking with Vanity Fair, Lawrence shared that she enjoys going grocery shopping with Cooke.
“I don’t know why this fills me with joy. I think maybe it’s because it’s almost a metaphor for marriage. ‘OK, we have this list. These are the things we need. Let’s work together and make it happen,” Lawrence explained.
Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight in 2019 that Maroney is the “best person I’ve ever met in my life.”
She added that marrying him was a “very easy decision”.
Lawrence’s rep confirmed her pregnancy to TODAY in September.
