Jennifer Lawrence Pregnant Photos as Star Expecting First Child With With Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence said she's expecting her first child with husband Cooke Maroney, after being spotted in public with a growing baby bump.

The 31-year-old The Hunger Games star and Maroney, a gallerist, are soon to be parents, and the news was officially confirmed by the actress' representative to People on Wednesday.

The couple married in October 2019 in Rhode Island. They met in the summer of 2018, before getting engaged the following February.

Photos have emerged of the Oscar-winning actress walking around with a baby bump, with fans widely sharing the photos on social media.

Fans are basking in Lawrence's baby news with some highlighting a 2015 interview she did with Diane Sawyer in which she spoke about her dream of starting a family.

"I don't know if I ever will get married and I'm OK with that," she said at the time, adding: "I don't feel that I need anything to complete me. I love meeting people, men, women, whatever, I love people coming into your life and bringing something."

However, she then went on to say: "I don't really plan on getting married. [But] I definitely want to be a mother."

She also told Glamour Magazine in 2016: "Everybody has this idea: You have children, and your entire life is complete. That's how I imagine it. I imagine I'll have children and then my whole life will just seem complete."

Aside from the pregnancy news, Lawrence is also making headlines today as the trailer for her upcoming film was released.

The actress is leading a stellar cast alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the Netflix movie titled Don't Look Up.

Directed by Adam McKay, Lawrence and DiCaprio play low level, desperate scientists who are trying to convince politicians that a comet is on a collision course with the Earth.

Big Stars in New Movie

Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi and Tyler Perry also star, and screen legend Meryl Streep portrays the U.S. president in the film.

Lawrence sustained minor injuries on the set during filming earlier this year after a controlled glass explosion went wrong.

Mckay has described the film as "a dark comedy" and "a disaster movie in which people don't necessarily believe that the disaster is coming."

Speaking to the Happy Sad Confused podcast in April, he explained: "It's two mid-level, very sincere astronomers who make the discovery of a lifetime, which is a killer asteroid headed toward Earth. They have to warn everyone and have to go on a media tour.

"It's them navigating our world. It's them navigating their equivalent of Twitter. It's them navigating the political landscape. It's them navigating talk shows and how they're perceived. It's DiCaprio and Lawrence and Rob Morgan trying to warn the world. I call it a dark comedy."

Don't Look Up is set for release in December.
