Jennifer Lawrence recently opened up about her life as a new mom and shared the name of her baby boy.
In her cover interview with Vogue, the Hunger Games actress reflected on motherhood and revealed that her son, born in February, has a rather unusual name.
Fans had mixed reactions to the unique name.
Some took to social media, commenting that it: “Sounds more like a noise than a name.” Another remarked: “Is this short for something? It feels incomplete.”
A third was concerned that the usual name would cause trouble for the child in the future, writing: “What a ridiculous name. This poor child will be bullied, no doubt.”
Still, many came to her defense, with one fan writing, “Simple, classy, and meaningful. Not every name needs to be traditional!”
Another agreed, saying: “If it’s inspired by art, it’s beautiful and personal.”
In the interview, Lawrence spoke candidly about the joys and challenges of motherhood.
“The euphoria is just — Jesus, it’s impossible,” she shared. “I always tell him, ‘I love you so much it’s impossible.’”
Reflecting on her emotional journey, she described how her heart has expanded in ways she never imagined.
“My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that.”
She also shared her apprehensions about her son’s future.
“And then they’re both just, like, out there — walking around, crossing streets. He’s gonna drive one day. He’s gonna be a stupid teenager and be behind the wheel of a car,” she said.
“And I’m just gonna be like, Good night! You know? Like, who sleeps?”
The Don’t Look Up actress revealed that giving birth was a transformative experience.
“The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, ‘Now is day one of my life,’” she explained.
“I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing. They’re these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors.”
Despite her openness, Lawrence has emphasized her desire to protect her son’s privacy.
In a previous Vanity Fair interview, she said: “Every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives.”
She added that she avoids including her child in her public work to ensure his life remains as private as possible.
While reactions to the name ‘Cy’ vary, many fans admire the thought behind it.
For Lawrence, the name holds deep personal significance, aligning with her family’s connection to art and creativity.
J-Law explained that the was inspired by Cy Twombly, a renowned postwar American painter and one of her husband Cooke Maroney’s favorite artists.
