Jennifer Lawrence has opened up about hiring security after having her first baby due to 'intrusive thoughts'.

In 2022, the actor confirmed the arrival of her first child with husband Cooke Maroney while speaking to Ellen DeGeneres. The host - who used to live in the house now occupied by Lawrence - said: "Now I live next door to you, and I'm looking at you living in my house with a brand new baby.

"By the way, I do hear you sometimes talking to him, and it's really cute."

Lawrence was spotted with her son - named Cy - just a few days later as the family made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles.

The actor could be seen pushing the baby's pram, with a source telling Page Six the scene 'seemed like a very normal errand run'.

While Lawrence has kept her life as a mom incredibly private, with her and Maroney also keeping their baby's identity under wraps, last year she opened up about boosting her security after welcoming little Cy.

The No Hard Feelings actor sat down for a chat with Kylie Jenner for Interview magazine in 2023, where she revealed how her feelings towards security had changed since becoming a mom.

"I didn’t have that much security before I had a kid but, once I had one, with my intrusive thoughts and anxiety, I wanted us to have security around all the time," she said.

Lawrence initially wanted her security team to be 'invisible' to her son, though her mind quickly changed.

“Once they start working for you, it’s like, ‘Well, wait. This is a person in our life. He’s helping us',” Lawrence said about her security.

"That’s not really a good lesson to ignore the person that’s helping us. It’s probably better to say, ‘Say good morning to Sean. Hi. How are you?’”

The actor added: "We’ve incorporated them more in our lives, which surprised me. That wasn’t how I planned it."

Compared to a lot of other celebrities, Lawrence keeps a lot of her private life exactly that - private.

The actor admitted she was scared about sharing her child with the world while speaking to Vanity Fair during her pregnancy in 2021.

She explained: "If I was at a dinner party, and somebody was like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re expecting a baby,’ I wouldn’t be like, ‘God, I can’t talk about that. Get away from me, you psycho!’

"But every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can."

The 33-year-old went on to explain she doesn't want anyone to automatically feel 'welcome into [her child's] existence', and said that starts with 'not including them' in the public part of her work.
