Pregnant Jennifer Lawrence steps out with baby bump on show for first time

Jennifer Lawrence has been pictured with her baby bump on display for the first time as news emerged she is expecting her first child with husband Cooke Maroney.   

The actress, 31, was spotted with her blossoming belly on show during a stroll through New York City on Wednesday.

Lawrence tied the knot with Cooke, an art gallery director, in 2019 after more than a year of dating.

Lawrence was pictured walking through New York wearing a pair of floral overalls and a delicate white T-shirt.

She slung a leather bag over her shoulder and strode through the cobblestone streets in her jelly sandals.

The actress also wore her blonde tresses down in loose waves and propped a pair of sunglasses over her eyes.

Lawrence and Cooke Maroney tied the knot in 2019 at the Belcourt of Newport in Rhode Island with the likes of Adele, Cameron Diaz, and Emma Stone in attendance.

She was first linked to Cooke after they were introduced by mutual friends in 2018, and by February 2019, the blonde beauty was spotted wearing an engagement ring.

‘Well, he’s just the best person I’ve ever met in my whole life. It was a very, very easy decision,’ she told Entertainment Tonight after accepting his proposal.

‘He really is, and he gets better,’ the actress went on.

Cooke works at New York’s Gladstone Gallery, which represents artists including Lena Dunham’s dad, Carroll Dunham, as well as Richard Prince, Anish Kapoor, and Bjork’s ex, Matthew Barney.

He is known on the art party scene and previously worked at the prestigious Gagosian gallery.

While he is now very much part of the New York social scene, Cooke, like his new fianceé grew up in the countryside, spending his childhood on his parent’s farm in Vermont.

Maroney’s father was an art dealer in Manhattan and previously served as the Head of American Paintings at Christie’s before the family decided to move to the country.

While neither Jennifer or Cooke have spoken publicly about their relationship, insiders have gushed about their chemistry, with a source telling People in August: ‘She is smiling like I have never seen her do with any of her previous boyfriends’.

For Jennifer, the romance begun just months after she split from Mother! director Darren Aronofsky, 49, in November 2017 after dating for about a year.

It has been claimed that their age gap caused a problem in their romance, as well as Jennifer admitting they were never able to switch off from talking about work.

Before the director, Jennifer enjoyed a romance with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, beginning in August 2014, just five months after his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow filed for divorce.

The a-list couple dated for four months before they broke up the first time in October of that year before reuniting in December and breaking up again in August 2015.
