He really is, and he gets better,” the Silver Linings Playbook star raved during a June 2019 episode of “Naked with Catt Sadler,” adding that she initially wanted to take things slow with the art gallerist. “I don’t know, I started with the basics, you know, ‘How do I feel?

“It’s so scary to talk about motherhood. Only because it’s so different for everybody,” the Don’t Look Up actress told Vogue in September, revealing her son’s name is Cy Twombly. “If I say, ‘It was amazing from the start,’ some people will think, ‘It wasn’t amazing for me at first,’ and feel bad. … The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over.”
Lawrence continued: “So many of my films in the past have been about my mother, my childhood. I wonder what will happen now that I’ll be witnessing somebody else’s childhood. And I wonder what he’s going to be talking about with his therapist. ‘She wouldn’t put me down. She kisses me on the mouth. She asked me not to go to college.’ … I always tell him, ‘I love you so much it’s impossible.'”
