Jennifer Lawrence?s 20s were a haze of nonstop work, awards seasons, Doritos and chaos. When she met her future husband Cooke Maroney, she really began to slow down and be more selective about when and where she worked. They got married in 2019, and they welcomed their first son in February 2022. Jen gave birth to their second son last year. She?s very much in the zone of having two kids under the age of four. Which I think influences how she talks about her career and explains why she just referred to herself as a stay-at-home mother.
Jennifer Lawrence might be one of Hollywoods most elite actresses, but she still considers herself a stay-at-home mom. The Die, My Love actress, 35, appeared on a Monday, Jan. 12 episode of the SmartLess podcast and shared that she thinks of herself as a stay-at-home mom rather than a working actor. Lawrence is mom to sons Cy, 3, and a second baby, whose name has not yet been revealed, with husband Cooke Maroney.
Thats me. I identify as a stay-at-home mom, Lawrence said on the podcast. But I am obviously working.
Im not used to being busy like this. I normally have a busy three months while Im filming, but even in that sense, its calm because there is nothing else to do, she continued. I just go to work, I do that, I come home, I sleep, and then I do it again. And then, like, two weeks while you promote. It is hectic.
She also shared insight on her co-parenting relationship with Maroney, whom she described as the opposite of her.
I married somebody who is the opposite of me. He is so organized. Hes an anchor, said the actress. Everything is ordered. I have to keep the closet doors closed, and I have my little jobs that I work really hard to do.
I get it now, I get it. [The kids are] on a very strict schedule. You know, its like breakfast: 7:30, explained Lawrence. Hes good at keeping it. But weve learned [that] to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room.

I understand what she?s saying, and again, she mostly has been a SAHM in recent years. Since 2020, she?s only acted in four films. Do actual SAHMs feel like Jennifer shouldn?t call herself that though? Like, is it stolen SAHM valor? Is it middle-class cosplay from a rich, Oscar-winning actress? I don?t feel like it is, but maybe I?m just not seeing the controversy. I might be wrong, please let me know.
