Jennifer Lawrence has openly praised her husband, Cooke Maroney, for his exceptional parenting abilities that help ease her mind while she's busy working. 

She is the proud mother of 16-month-old son, Cy, and feels grateful that she can depend on her partner during her demanding professional schedule.

"My husband is the greatest father in the entire world," the star of No Hard Feelings" shared with People.

Jennifer, now 32 years old, and her art dealer husband welcomed their bundle of joy, Cy, into the world back in February 2022. The couple's joyous arrival followed three years after their intimate wedding ceremony in 2019.

The lovebirds said 'I do' at the exquisite Belcourt of Newport Castle, concluding 18 months of a blissful courtship. Jennifer, a natural beauty hailing from Kentucky, shot to global stardom with her portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in the blockbuster franchise, The Hunger Games.

Her captivating performance in the series, along with her Oscar-winning role in the 2012 film Silver Lining's Playbook, catalyzed her Hollywood career.

After wrapping up The Hunger Games saga with Mockingjay: Part 2, the versatile actress went on to embody the role of Mystique, a blue-skinned mutant in the 2016 Fox film X-Men: Apocalypse.

Learning from Cooke's cool and composed parenting approach, Jennifer ensures she maintains a calm and peaceful demeanor around Cy.

"I realized that my energy is more important to him than anything else. So if he feels that I’m anxious before I leave the house, or I’m angry when we’re outside, that’s going to impact him," she stated, highlighting the importance of positivity and tranquility in their child's environment.
