Jennifer Lawrence has finally revealed the name and gender of her baby as she opens up for the first time about becoming a mother earlier this year.

The Oscar-winning actress, 32, welcomed her first child with husband of three-years Cooke Maroney in February.

In a new interview with the October issue of Vogue Magazine, the Don’t Look Up star told how she has fallen in love with being a parent to her little boy who she named Cy.

“The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, Now is day one of my life. I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere,” she told the publication.

She also explained how she developed a deeper love for her husband after watching him become a dad, saying: “My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that.

“And then they’re both just, like, out there—walking around, crossing streets. He’s gonna drive one day. He’s gonna be a stupid teenager and be behind the wheel of a car. And I’m just gonna be like, Good night! You know? Like, who sleeps?”

While he main focus is raising her son at present, Lawrence is gearing up for the release of new movie, Causeway.

The upcoming feature also stars Brian Tyree Henry and Samira Wiley and sees her play an American soldier who returns to her hometown of New Orleans after a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan.

Lawrence also serves as executive producer on the flick which marks the first project from her production company, Excellent Cadaver.

Causeway will have its premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival later this month.

Vogue’s October 2022 issue is available on newsstands nationwide on September 20.
