Jennifer Lawrence Reportedly Pregnant, Delaying 'Hunger Games' Prequel

Sources Claim Actress Is Expecting First Child With Husband Cooke Maroney

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is reportedly pregnant with her first child, according to multiple sources. The news comes as a surprise to fans, as Lawrence has been relatively private about her personal life since marrying art gallerist Cooke Maroney in 2019.

'The Hunger Games' Prequel Production Delayed

The news of Lawrence's pregnancy has reportedly led to a delay in the production of the upcoming 'Hunger Games' prequel, 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.' Lawrence was set to reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen in the film, which is scheduled for release in November 2023.

According to sources, Lionsgate, the studio behind the 'Hunger Games' franchise, is now considering pushing back the release date of the prequel to accommodate Lawrence's pregnancy. The film's production is expected to begin in early 2022, but it is unclear if Lawrence will be able to participate at that time.

Lawrence's Pregnancy Announcement Expected Soon

Lawrence and Maroney have not yet publicly confirmed the pregnancy, but sources say an announcement is expected soon. The couple has been notoriously private about their relationship, so it is possible that they will keep the news of their pregnancy under wraps for as long as possible.

If the reports are true, this will be the first child for both Lawrence and Maroney. Lawrence has spoken openly about her desire to start a family in the past, saying in a 2015 interview that she "can't wait to be a mom."
