In her tell-all chat for Interview magazine, J-Law expressed her initial concerns about shielding her son from the paparazzi. 

"I was so nervous when I was pregnant. I was getting paparazzi’d, and I was just like, "How the [expletive] am I not going to lose it on these guys when they’re taking a picture of my baby?" she revealed.

In a bid for privacy, the Oscar-winning mother of one has kept a relatively low profile since giving birth to Cy in February 2022, after a challenging pregnancy journey led her to experience two miscarriages.

In a heartbreaking interview for Vogue, Jennifer revealed she first fell pregnant in her early 20s before she sadly "had a miscarriage alone in Montreal".

Jennifer said that she got pregnant again during the filming of Adam McKay's Netflix comedy Don’t Look Up but suffered a second miscarriage.
