Jennifer Lawrence is reversing course about one of the things she’ll talk about in interviews.
During a roundtable with “The Hollywood Reporter,” the Oscar-winning actor opened up about why she’s more willing to talk about her kids, after previously saying that she wouldn’t.
The topic came up as Lawrence’s new movie, “Die My Love,” centers around a new mom and her experience with postpartum depression and psychosis.
“I was surprised when I started doing this because I’ve always been really strict about, ‘I don’t want to talk about my kids,’” Lawrence said, when asked about her recent experience on the “Die My Love” press tour.
“But it’s impossible not to, so I’ve landed on, ‘I will talk about my experience as a mother.’ But it did make me realize that it was not something I had considered.”
When interviewer Seija Rankin said that Lawrence was “really generous” in talking about her experience, the actor quipped, “Too generous. I hear what you’re saying.”

Rankin pointed out that Lawrence would talk “about the meds that helped you” in her own experience after her second child, which the actor described as “really bad postpartum.”
“Zurzuvae. Really helpful,” the actor shared.
Lawrence and her husband, Cooke Maroney, have two children together. The couple had their first son, named Cy, in 2022. The two recently welcomed their second son in April, though they haven’t publicly shared his name.
Lawrence opened up about her most recent postpartum experience in an interview with The New Yorker, in which she laid bare some of her most intrusive thoughts.
“I just thought every time he was sleeping he was dead,” she told the outlet. “I thought he cried because he didn’t like his life, or me, or his family. I thought I was doing everything wrong, and that I would ruin my children.”
