  • Cooke Maroney, 42, is a New York art dealer who spent several years at Gladstone Gallery and earlier worked at Gagosian.

  • He and Jennifer Lawrence were introduced in 2018, married in Rhode Island in October 2019 and recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary.

  • The couple have two sons, Cy, born in 2022, and a second son born in 2025.


Jennifer Lawrence has given fans a rare, funny glimpse into life at home with her famously private husband, Cooke Maroney. Promoting the launch of her new haircare brand, Mes, on October 27, the Oscar winner recalled testing one product that left her hair smelling like fish, People reported.


Maroney was not impressed. "My husband was like, 'If you don't wash your hair, you have to get a hotel room,'" Lawrence said.


The story came days after the couple were photographed holding hands on a dinner date in New York on October 14, ahead of their seventh wedding anniversary on October 19, Just Jared reported. Here is what to know about the man Lawrence once called "the greatest person I've ever met."



Who is Cooke Maroney?


Cooke Maroney was born in New York City on July 3, 1984, to James Maroney, an art dealer, and Suki Fredericks. He has a younger sister, Annabelle. While he was still a toddler, the family swapped Manhattan for rural Vermont, moving to Leicester in 1986. There, his parents started Oliver Hill Farm, a dairy and animal farm, in 1990, according to the Burlington Free Press. He attended Middlebury Union High School before returning to New York to study art history at New York University, graduating in 2007.


What Does Cooke Maroney Do For Work?


He is an art dealer and gallerist. After university, he joined the Gagosian Gallery in Manhattan, one of the world's best-known contemporary art galleries. He later became director-at-large of Gladstone 64, Gladstone Gallery's Upper East Side space. Gladstone represents artists including Matthew Barney, Anish Kapoor, Richard Prince and Carroll Dunham, the father of Lena Dunham. In October 2025, Artnet News reported that Maroney had left Gladstone. His representative said he was transitioning to working on independent projects.



How Did Cooke Maroney and Jennifer Lawrence Meet?


They were introduced in May 2018 by a mutual friend, Laura Simpson, and began dating soon after. Things moved quickly. Lawrence's representative confirmed their engagement in February 2019, when she was 28 and he was 33. Lawrence has been candid about how sure she felt. "This is the one, I know that sounds really stupid," she said on Catt Sadler's podcast Naked in June 2019. "He's the greatest person I've ever met, so I feel very honoured to become a Maroney."


When Did Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney Get Married?


They married on October 19, 2019, at the Belcourt of Newport mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, in front of around 150 guests. Adele, Emma Stone, Kris Jenner, Cameron Diaz, Sienna Miller, Ashley Olsen, and Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were among those reported to have attended. Lawrence wore Dior. The couple divide their time between New York's West Village and Los Angeles, and rarely appear in public together. They made a notable joint appearance at the 2026 Golden Globes.




Do Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney Have Children?


Yes, two sons. Their first son, Cy, was born in February 2022. People confirmed the arrival of their second son in April 2025; his name has not been made public. True to form, the couple keep their family life largely off social media.


Is Cooke Maroney on Social Media?


No. Maroney keeps a notably low public profile and does not give interviews, which has made Lawrence's occasional anecdotes about him all the more popular with fans.
