Jennifer Lawrence Says She Identifies as a “Stay-at-Home Mom”

Jennifer Lawrence is adding a new title to her mom playbook. 

Though the Mother! actor has been on an impressive acting run since welcoming her and husband Cooke Maroney’s two sons—Cy, 4, and a toddler they had in 2025—she sees herself as a mom first. 

“I identify as a stay-at-home mom,” Jennifer said in the Jan. 12 episode of Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes’ SmartLess podcast. “But I am obviously working.”

Indeed, the 35-year-old has starred in a few films—and will reportedly reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping later this year—since she had her kids. And as she continues to add more projects to her roster, she’s still growing accustomed to balancing her career with being there for her little ones. 

“I’m not used to being busy like this,” Jennifer explained. “I normally have a busy three months while I’m filming, but even in that sense, it’s calm because there is nothing else to do. I just go to work, come home, sleep, and then I do it again. And then, for two weeks, you promote. It is hectic.”
