Jennifer Lawrence was photographed in New York City last Friday carrying a key ring with two alphabet-bead keychains, one reading "Cy" and the other "Louie," prompting speculation that the beads identify the name of her second son.
The images, obtained by Page Six, show the 35-year-old actress dressed casually in baggy blue jeans, a dark T-shirt and sneakers while holding the key ring. "Cy" matches the name of Lawrence and husband Cooke Maroney’s first son, born in February 2022; "Louie" appears to refer to the couple’s child, who was reported to have been born in early 2025.
Lawrence and Maroney, an art gallery director, were married in 2019 and have kept their children largely out of the public eye. The photos have drawn attention because the couple has not publicly announced a name for the second child, and the bead keychains were visible enough to attract media coverage.
Lawrence, who has balanced motherhood with a returning film career, spoke in May about the difficulty of postpartum life during a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival for her new film, Die, My Love. She described postpartum as "extremely isolating," and said the experience of becoming a parent "changes everything. It’s brutal and incredible." The actress also discussed parallels she noticed between her own life and the character she plays in the film, directed by Lynne Ramsay.
The Page Six photographs add to intermittent glimpses of Lawrence’s private life since she and Maroney first became parents. Aside from the images and occasional comments in interviews, the couple has largely avoided revealing personal details about their children. Public reporting places Maroney at 41 and Lawrence at 35.
Lawrence has returned to publicity for Die, My Love and other projects while discussing how motherhood affects career choices and emotional capacity. She has said parenting influences decisions about when and where she works and has spoken candidly about the intensity of emotion the job can require.
Representatives for Lawrence and Maroney did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the keychains or whether the couple has formally chosen a name for their younger son. The photographs are the most recent public indication that the family remains private while occasionally appearing in public settings.
The actress rose to prominence with roles in the Hunger Games franchise and has since taken on a range of projects, from independent dramas to studio films. Her public comments on postpartum experiences have dovetailed with her current film work, where themes of motherhood and isolation are prominent.
