Jennifer Lawrence on What Saved Cooke Maroney Marriage

Jennifer Lawrence found a silver lining in the chaos.

Following her hectic childhood, the Hunger Games star shared how she’s needed to adapt since marrying husband Cooke Maroney, with whom she shares son Cy, 3, and a second baby born in 2025. 

“I married somebody who is the opposite of me,” Jennifer said on the Jan. 12 episode of SmartLess. “He is so organized. He’s an anchor.” 

“Everything is ordered,” the 35-year-old continued. “I have to keep the closet doors closed, and I have my little jobs that I work really hard to do.”

For Jennifer, keeping a very specific schedule was difficult, although she knew it needed to be done after having kids. 

“I get it now, I get it,” Jennifer said. “[The kids are] on a very strict schedule. You know, it’s like breakfast: 7:30.”

“He’s good at keeping it,” she said of her husband. “But we’ve learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15 minute wiggle room.”
