The 34-year-old actress and her husband Cooke Maroney, 40, are already parents to two-year-old son Cy, and their latest baby news was confirmed to Vogue magazine by the star's representative on Sunday, after she debuted her baby bump on a dinner date in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Vogue wrote on Instagram: "Congratulations are in order for Jennifer Lawrence! The Oscar-winning actor will be welcoming her second child with art gallerist husband Cooke Maroney, a representative has confirmed to Vogue."
An insider had claimed in 2023 that the pair were keen to add to their brood.
The source told Us Weekly: "They're thinking about having another child.
"At first they weren't sure if they wanted another one because it's so much work, but they're obsessed with Cy and love showing off videos to their friends and family. They've started warming up to the possibility of a second."
The actress married art dealer Maroney in 2019, but she previously admitted she was hesitant about settling down and later realised she was experiencing commitment anxiety.
She told The New York Times newspaper: "When you don't fully know yourself, you have no idea where to put yourself. And then I met my husband, and he was like, 'Put yourself here.' I was like, 'That feels right, but what if it's not?'"
"It was coming out of my performance in all these different creative ways, but I wasn't conscious of it.
"Then I went back, and when I'm home with my husband making this family, I'm so happy I stayed. I'm so happy I didn't freak out and cancel the wedding and run away and go, 'I'll never be taken down!'"
