The couple, already parents to their 2-year-old son Cy, welcomed him in February 2022. Lawrence has previously spoken about how motherhood has impacted her, particularly in regard to dealing with paparazzi. During a June 2023 interview with Cameron Diaz for Interview Magazine, she opened up about the pressure of being photographed while pregnant and how it made her anxious.
“I do my best,” she said when asked how she protects her son from the media. “I was so nervous when I was pregnant… ‘How the f— am I not going to lose it on these guys when they’re taking a picture of my baby?'” But once her son was born, Lawrence explained, “I realised my energy is more important to him than anything else.” She’s learned to stay calm and relaxed when being photographed, as she doesn’t want her son to pick up on any anxiety.

Lawrence also praised her husband, calling Maroney “the greatest father in the entire world” and sharing that his support helps ease her guilt about working while raising their child. Since becoming a mom, Lawrence has become more selective with her career, choosing projects based on whether they are worth the time away from her son.
