Jennifer Lawrence is going to be a mom.
The 31-year-old star of "The Hunger Games" is expecting her first child with husband Cooke Maroney, the actor's representative confirmed to TODAY on Wednesday.
Lawrence and Maroney tied the knot at a Rhode Island wedding ceremony in October 2019. During an appearance on a podcast in October 2020, the actress said her one wedding regret involved her bachelorette party.
"I had a major sleepover at my apartment, but I will say I regret not planning a big one," she said at the time. "My friend was getting married close to me, and I went to her bachelorette and then we ended up — typical Leo — we called it my bachelorette."
