Jennifer Lawrence Shares Rare Insight Into Her Motherhood Journey
7 Nov
Summary
- Jennifer Lawrence felt "completely connected" to her first child
- Motherhood made her realize the world wasn't designed for that bond
- Lawrence relied on a "mom community" to navigate the changes
Actress Jennifer Lawrence, 35, has shared rare insights into her motherhood journey in a recent interview. Just months after welcoming her and husband Cooke Maroney's second son, Lawrence detailed how her worldview changed after becoming a first-time mom to their 3-year-old son, Cy.
"When I had my first child, I felt completely connected to my baby," Lawrence explained. "But I also realized the world wasn't designed around that relationship." The Die My Love star admitted feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of returning to work, driving, or traveling away from her newborn. "Suddenly, you're like, 'Wait, how am I supposed to go back to work? Get in a car and drive away? Get on an airplane and fly away from my baby? Like, what are you talking about?' Everything looks different after that."
Fortunately, Lawrence wasn't navigating these changes alone. "As a mom, especially when I was a new, first-time mom, my community and having a mom community was so vital," she told E! News earlier this month. "Having a community is so, so important and just being able to check in with other women, like, 'Is this normal?'"
