Jennifer Lawrence just revealed the name of her baby. In the October cover of Vogue, Lawrence shared that her baby is a boy and that his name is Cy.
Lawrence had her baby with her husband Cooke Maroney, who had the idea to name the baby after one of his favorite artists, Cy Twombly.

I was just so in love,” she said of the birth of her baby, which also made her fall in love with “all babies everywhere.” “Newborns are just so amazing. They’re these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors. Now I love all babies. Now I hear a baby crying in a restaurant and I’m like, Awwww, preciousssss,” she said.
The interview was conducted shortly after Roe v. Wade was overturned, prompting Lawrence to get passionate and political, sharing details about her previous experiences with pregnancies. She recalled a D&C procedure she had to get before the birth of Cy due to a miscarriage. She also shared that in her 20s she was intending to get an abortion, but ended up having a natural pregnancy loss while she was alone.

I like a fast-paced Marvel movie as much as the next person. But I do miss the slow melody of a character-driven story,” she said of the project.
Since she’s a mother now, Lawrence reflects on what that means as an actress and whether that will influence the kinds of movies she picks. “So many of my films in the past have been about my mother, my childhood. I wonder what will happen now that I’ll be witnessing somebody else’s childhood. And I wonder what he’s going to be talking about with his therapist,” she said.
