In case you haven’t noticed due to the fact that she’s super low-key, Jennifer Lawrence has a husband named Cooke Maroney who she's been married to for almost five years.
The pair also welcomed their son, Cy, in 2022 and unlike her previous boyfriends (see: Chris Martin, Nicholas Hoult, and Darren Aronofsky), her husband isn't a famous celebrity. Like, not even a little bit.
So, who exactly is J. Law’s husband? We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about Cooke and his relationship with Jennifer, including his alleged beef with Emily Ratajkowski (yes, really). Let’s get into it!
Where is Jennifer Lawrence's husband, Cooke Maroney, from?
A truly deep internet dive led us to discover Oliver Hill Farm in Vermont, US, which is owned by Cooke’s parents, James Maroney and Suki Fredericks.
According to a Medium profile from 2015, Mr. Maroney was an art dealer in Manhattan — and held a tenure as the senior vice president and head of American Paintings at Christie’s — before he and his wife started the farm, which is where Cooke grew up. Cute!
Additional fun fact: He may have grown up on a farm, but Cooke was apparently always trendy. He was even voted “best dressed” by his Middlebury Union High School classmates, per this yearbook snapshot unearthed by the Daily Mail.
Just peep that Abercrombie graphic tee and baggy jeans!
What is Cooke Maroney's job?
After high school, Cooke studied art history at New York University, and then he decided to follow in his dad’s footsteps by taking a job at Gagosian, an art gallery owned and directed by Larry Gagosian.
He now holds a job as a director at Gladstone 64, which is the Gladstone Gallery’s Upper East Side location (and for those of you who don't Gossip Girl, that is a very fancy area).
How did Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney meet?
Back in May 2018, not long after J. Law called things off with director Darren Aronofsky, she reportedly met Cooke through her BFF Laura Simpson. “The relationship has been going on a few weeks,” a source told Page Six at the time.
“But they have been very private and careful not to be seen together.” If the name Laura Simpson sounds familiar to you, it’s probs because she was Jennifer’s date to the 2014 Oscars.
“I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him,” Jennifer told Catt Sadler during an appearance on the Naked With Catt Sadler podcast. “We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully.”
When did Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney get engaged?
Engagement rumors first started circulating in February 2019 when J. Law was spotted out and about with a ring on that finger, and not long after, her representative confirmed the super happy news.
Just about eight months later in October 2019, they said their “I do's” in Newport, Rhode Island, with a guest list that included big names like Adele, Kris Jenner, Emma Stone, Ashley Olsen, Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz, among others.
At the 2024 Golden Globes, J. Law revealed some (super relatable) details about their wedding, including how she was an "awful" bride.
In a conversation with E! News, the actor said, "It's so stressful. You're not having fun. You're just like, 'Is that person having fun?'" She added that she kept "freaking out about the guests being cold" and that she'll "never forget" those aspects of her wedding day.
Are Jennifer Lawrence and Emily Ratajkowski feuding?
So, you may recall that in September 2020, Emily Ratajkowski penned a tell-all essay for The Cut where she revealed that artist Richard Prince had taken one of her nude IG photos and printed it on a large canvas, which was later sold for a hefty sum — all without her consent.
She came across the print by chance at the Gagosian in 2014 (where it was on display as part of Prince’s New Portraits series), and when she tried to buy the piece, she was told that a “big-time collector” had already claimed it for himself.
“I knew of the gallerist through a bunch of different people and had met him once or twice, so it didn’t take long to find out what actually happened to the piece,” she wrote.
“The giant image of me was hanging above the couch in his West Village apartment. ‘It’s kind of awkward,’ a friend of mine said, describing the painting’s placement in the gallerist’s home. ‘He, like, sits under naked you.’”
Emily never revealed the name of the mysterious gallerist who bought the piece — although apparently, some fans think the mystery man could be Cooke.
Then, cut to June 2021, when an anonymous source told celeb gossip account DeuxMoi about an apparent feud between J. Law and EmRata. “Can 100% confirm the Emily Ratajkowski/Jennifer Lawrence mini feud is for real,” the source claimed.
“I know people in their immediate social circle and under no circumstances are they to be invited to the same gathering. Jennifer is super annoyed and embarrassed that Emily indirectly named her husband Cooke Maroney as the guy that had her nude. Everyone in the art world read it and knew it was him too.”
Oh, and side note: Emily and Cooke share a mutual friend, Sarah Hoover, who has worked at the Gagosian (where Cooke also worked for years) since 2007, so she could possibly be the “friend” of Emily’s who peeped the portrait in the gallerist’s West Village apartment.
However, neither Cooke nor J. Law has ever commented on the rumoured drama.
When did Jennifer Lawrence have a baby?
ICYMI, Cooke and Jennifer are officially parents! News of J. Law’s pregnancy first broke in September 2021, and in February 2022, they welcomed their son and waited until September of that year to reveal that his name is Cy. Adorbs!
Chances are that Jennifer will continue to keep her romance with Cooke on the down low, but here’s hoping they continue to live their best life away from the limelight.
