Jennifer Lawrence, 36, and her art dealer husband, Cooke Maroney, 42, held hands as they headed to a New York City restaurant for dinner on Wednesday, October 14, according to Just Jared.
The outing came five days before their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday, October 19. The couple married in 2019 at Belcourt of Newport, a historic mansion in Rhode Island, after becoming engaged that February.
They are parents to two sons: Cy, born in February 2022, and a younger boy born in 2025 whose name they have not publicly confirmed. Lawrence told Vogue that Cy’s name honors American painter Cy Twombly, one of Maroney’s favorite artists.
Maroney also accompanied Lawrence to the Golden Globes on January 11, when she was nominated for her performance in Die My Love. She posed on the red carpet in a sheer, floral Givenchy gown. They were later photographed together inside the Beverly Hilton, according to Us Weekly.

For the latest dinner, Lawrence wore a flowing black silk maxi dress with a slit at the center and a boxy tweed jacket with a rounded neckline. Harper’s Bazaar identified her shoes as The Row’s Stella flats in black leather.
She added a chunky beaded necklace, dangling earrings and a black-and-gold clutch, with her hair pulled into an updo. Maroney wore a light-gray double-breasted suit over a white button-down shirt, finishing the outfit with black dress shoes.
Earlier October Dinners Included Via Carota and Balthazar
Lawrence and Maroney celebrated Dakota Johnson’s 37th birthday at Via Carota in Manhattan’s West Village on October 4, joining friends including actor Blake Lee for dinner at the Italian restaurant.
On October 9, the couple attended a dinner party at Balthazar. Lawrence wore a long overcoat over a black dress, while Maroney chose a suit and tie. They greeted friends in the lobby before being shown to their table.
An Art Question Led to Their First Meeting
Lawrence met Maroney in 2018 while taking a break from acting. In an interview with The New Yorker, published October 27, 2025, she told Jia Tolentino that she had mentioned wanting to buy a painting to her friend Gene Stupnitsky, who later directed her in No Hard Feelings.
Stupnitsky recommended that she speak with Maroney, who invited her to a gallery show. Lawrence recalled being puzzled by his name before meeting him and discovering an attraction she had not anticipated. “I had no idea he was hot or single,” she said.
Their wedding reception brought together about 150 guests, including Adele, Emma Stone, Amy Schumer, Kris Jenner and Ashley Olsen. PEOPLE reported at the time that Lawrence wore a Dior gown, citing a source. The night before, the couple hosted a clambake rehearsal dinner on Rose Island.
During an October 2020 appearance on Heather McMahan’s Absolutely Not podcast, Lawrence said she regretted not planning a larger bachelorette party. Her own celebration had been an apartment sleepover, but attending a friend’s bachelorette weekend left her wishing she had organized something bigger, according to Entertainment Tonight.
Lawrence Described a 15-Minute Compromise at Home
In the January 12, 2026 episode of SmartLess, Lawrence described Maroney’s organized approach to their household. “I married somebody who is the opposite of me,” she told hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. She called him an “anchor” and joked about her efforts to keep closet doors closed.
The children follow a strict routine, including breakfast at 7:30 a.m., and Lawrence said Maroney handles much of the timekeeping. Her compromise allows some flexibility: “We’ve learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room,” she joked, as PEOPLE reported.
In a November 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Lawrence described grocery shopping with Maroney as a source of joy. Working through their list reminded her of the cooperation marriage required. She also admitted that she bought cooking magazines promising to try the recipes, only for Maroney’s doubts about whether she would use them to prove correct.
