Who Is Jennifer Lawrence?
Jennifer Shrader Maroney Lawrence is an award-winning Hollywood star. She is renowned for her roles in action films, especially Winter’s Bone (2010) and the Hunger Games movie series.
Personal Life (Early/recent)
Jennifer Lawrence has two older brothers: Ben and Blaine. Her mother, Karen, was a summer camp manager, while her father, Gary, owned a construction company.
She attended Kammerer Middle School in Louisville, Kentucky. As her mother trained her to be rowdy like her brothers, her childhood wasn’t enjoyable like her peers. She had to battle with hyperactivity and social anxiety. Fortunately, her anxieties left her when she had her first on-stage performance, which was a great relief to her.
Jennifer loved playing basketball, field hockey, and softball during her school days. She was part of a boys’ team coached by her father. She also enjoyed horseback riding while growing up, which made her constantly visit a nearby horse farm.
Moreover, she didn’t receive a General Educational Development (GED) or diploma because she dropped out of school at 14. She chose to pursue her acting career, as it was her priority.
Jennifer Lawrence has dated a few of her co-stars, including Nicholas Hoult. She and Nicholas were in a relationship from 2010 to 2014. That same year, her nude pictures went viral after a hack.
She began another relationship with Darren Aronofsky in September 2016, until they called it quits in November 2017.
The following year, Jennifer started dating an art gallery director, Cooke Maroney, leading to marriage in Rhode Island. She had her first child for him in February 2022.
