Who Is Jennifer Lawrence’s Husband, Cooke Maroney?

Born and raised in Vermont, Maroney studied art history at New York University and even worked at the prestigious Gagosian gallery, according to The Cut.

He’s currently an art gallery director at Gladstone Gallery, which is located on the Upper East Side. According to the list of staff members on the Gladstone website, his assistant's name is Shelby Nelson Ward.

The Gladstone Gallery is a contemporary art gallery that has locations in New York City, Los Angeles, Brussels and Seoul.

Unfortunately, Maroney doesn’t have personal Twitter or Facebook accounts. However, he does have a private Instagram page, which has a little over 2,000 followers. *Sends follow request.*

The pair were introduced by a mutual friend, Laura Simpson, according to E! News. Simpson is not only a longtime friend of the actress, but she was also J-Law’s date to the 2014 Academy Awards. NBD.

After attending the Oscars with Lawrence, Simpson posted a tell-all to Myspace, where she wrote, “I met [Jennifer Lawrence] seven years ago at an event where we both didn't know a single person. We hit it off over a mutual respect for Chandler Bing, and we've been eating pizza together ever since.”

Although I don’t have an exact date, several reports claim that Lawrence and Maroney started dating in mid-2018.

They were first reported to be together in June 2018, when a source told Page Six, “They met through Jen’s friend Laura … The relationship has been going on a few weeks. But they have been very private and careful not to be seen together.”

During the ceremony, Lawrence wore a stunning wedding dress by Dior. The choice should come as no surprise to fans, since she’s a spokesmodel for the brand.

There are very few *actual* shots of J-Law in her sparkly gown, but you can get a few glimpses of the ensemble thanks to paparazzi shots posted here. For her engagement party, the Kentucky native opted for an L Wells bridal gown.

Several familiar faces were in attendance, including Adele, Emma Stone, Amy Schumer, Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble, Ashley Olsen, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, Sienna Miller and David O. Russell, who directed Silver Linings Playbook.

Lawrence and Maroney welcomed their first child, Cy, in February 2022. In an interview with Vogue, the actress revealed that they named their son after the famous painter Cy Twombly, who’s best known for his scribble artwork.

After having a child, Lawrence has stated that it changed her approach to starting new film projects. “There’s no squeezing when you have a baby,” she said for Interview mag. “It definitely helps weed out projects: ‘Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Is this worth being away from my child for half the day?’”

The Oscar winner added, “Yeah, and fortunately, my husband is the greatest father in the entire world, so when I’m working, I don’t have any more guilt than the usual every day, all-day parent guilt.”

In that same interview, Lawrence also discussed the stress of having a child in the limelight: “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?’” But Lawrence notes that she tries not to pass on that anxiety, and she says, “The best thing I can do is just make sure he knows he’s loved, and that he’s our number one priority, and try to be a good example of kindness.”

“I always tell [Cy], I love you so much it’s impossible,” she said to Vogue.

Lawrence and Maroney are notoriously private about their relationship. During an interview with Vanity Fair, Lawrence revealed that it’s been a priority since the beginning of their romance.

“So, when I started dating my now husband, I was so embarrassed to bring my [security guard] when he asked me out,” she said. “I mean, how mortifying would that have been? So I didn’t, and it made me really nervous the first few times, and it turned out totally fine. I realized you get more privacy if….I don’t know if this is even safe to talk about. I have security all the time. Twenty-four hours a day. And a gun!”
