Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> may be a movie star, but that apparently entails getting to stay home with her kids<\/a> quite a bit. In an episode of the SmartLess podcast<\/a> on Monday, the Die My Love actress sat down with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett to talk about craft, fame, and parenting<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSpeaking of babies, Jen, are you the soccer mom you\u2019ve been dreaming about?\u201d Bateman asked. Lawrence responded that she\u2019s unexpectedly an \u201cice-hockey mom,\u201d because her 4-year-old son is into hockey, just like his dad. As Lawrence explained how her husband, Cooke Maroney, likes to play hockey in the house with the kids, Bateman admitted, half-jokingly, that he\u2019s \u201ctempted to just like not ever work again and just be home with the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s me. I identify as a stay-at-home mom,\u201d Lawrence said in response. \u201cBut I am obviously working.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not used to being busy like this. I normally have a busy three months while I\u2019m filming, but even in that sense, it\u2019s calm because there is nothing else to do,\u201d she added. \u201cI just go to work, I do that, I come home, I sleep, and then I do it again. And then, like, two weeks while you promote. It is hectic.\u201d<\/p>\n Lawrence went on to explain that adding an awards campaign to the mix complicates the family\u2019s strict schedule. In a rare public outing, she and Maroney, who have been married since 2019, attended the 2026 Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, where Lawrence was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture \u2014 Drama for her role in Die My Love. She ultimately lost out to Hamnet\u2019s Jessie Buckley, and while it\u2019s unclear how she feels about, I\u2019m sure she was excited to get back to her kids:\u00a04-year-old Cy and a second baby whose name they\u2019ve kept private.<\/p>\n At least she has Maroney to hold down the fort when things get stressful. The kids are \u201con a very strict schedule \u2014 it\u2019s like, breakfast: 7:30,\u201d she said of her husband. \u201cHe\u2019s good at keeping it, but we\u2019ve learned to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room.\u201d<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
