Jennifer Lawrence Welcomes Second Child With Husband Cooke Maroney
Jennifer Lawrence has expanded her beautiful family. The 'Hunger Games' star, 34, has welcomed her second baby with husband Cooke Maroney, a source confirmed to People. The couple were spotted out in New York City on Monday after the arrival of their little bundle of joy, the outlet reported Tuesday. The baby's name and sex have not yet been revealed. HuffPost has reached out to Lawrence's reps for comment. Lawrence and the art gallery director, 40, tied the knot in 2019 and also share toddler son Cy (named after American painter Cy Twombly), whom they welcomed in February 2022. The news of the Oscar-winning actor's second pregnancy first broke back in October after Vogue reported that Lawrence was expecting another baby, which was confirmed by one of her representatives at the time. Lawrence opened up about becoming a mother for the first time in a separate interview with Vogue following Cy's birth. 'The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, now is day one of my life,' she told the outlet in September 2022. Lawrence added: 'I just stared [at him]. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing. They're these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors.' She also revealed her favorite thing to do in her marriage to Maroney in an interview with Vanity Fair in November 2021. 'I really enjoy going to the grocery store with him,' Lawrence explained. 'I don't know why, but it fills me with a lot of joy. I think maybe because it's almost a metaphor for marriage. 'Okay, we've got this list. These are the things we need. Let's work together and get this done.''

Despite being known as the Octomom, Natalie 'Nadya' Suleman is actually a mom of 14, and with 14 kids comes a hefty grocery bill each month.

More from SheKnows Ashlee Simpson Shared Daughter Jagger's Reaction to Chopping off Most of Her Hair 'We find a lot of things on sale. I budget really well, and we all eat very, very healthfully,' she said, talking about how her children are vegan, so she avoids buying meat, dairy, or eggs. 'I focus mainly on what matters — the plant-based whole foods, the fruits and vegetables.' She noted how her grocery bill at Gelson's, an upscale Southern California-based grocer, was $366.94. 'I spend that maybe every other day. So it's still $4,000 or $5,000 a month on groceries on average. And now, if we went above and beyond and we got extras and extra food, we could easily be $10,000 a month. Because of the budgeting, it's about half,' she said. So, they at least spend $48,000 on groceries, and at most, around $60,000. Despite previous bankruptcies and bounding around homes in the early 2010s, she and her children now live in a three-bedroom townhome in Orange County at a discounted rate thanks to someone she met at church, per People. To gain this type of money, there's obviously her public projects like this Lifetime special, she is reported to be working as a counselor full time, occasionally does 'international photoshoots' and uses public assistance. Before the octuplets, she did IVF treatments, she had her first son named Elijah in 2001, then a daughter named Amerah in 2002. She then welcomed two more sons named Joshua, born in 2003, and Aidan, born in 2005, and fraternal twins named Calyssa and Caleb in 2006. Then, many may know, she welcomed eight kids in Jan 2009 named Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Josiah, Jeremiah, and Makai, giving birth to the first surviving octuplets.

Natalie Suleman Revealed the Surprising Way She Could Afford the IVF Treatments That Conceived Her Octuplets—'I'm Not Proud of It'
It's the return of Octomom. Natalie 'Nadya' Suleman and her family are finally telling their side of the story after she gave birth to octuplets. Suleman conceived her octuplets via IVF in 2009. She was already a mom to six children before she gave birth, making her total to a whopping 14 children. Suleman and her family garnered heavy media coverage shortly after since she her octuplets were the first to survive after birth. The family has since moved into the private life after the frenzy. 'I've never wanted fame,' she told People. 'That's a number one biggest misconception ever. I sued the hospital because they were the reason I ended up in the public eye.' More from StyleCaster How to Watch Hunting Housewives to See Denise Richards, NeNe Leakes, & More How to Watch Lifetime For Free to Enjoy All of Your Holiday Favorites'I did whatever I needed to do to make ends meet,' she recounted. 'And that was shaming myself, sacrificing my integrity. The life I was leading was not only destructive, it was dark. It was the antithesis of who I am as a person.' Now the Sulemans are ready to show the world their family life with two Lifetime projects: I Was Octomom and Confessions of Octomom. Natalie Suleman's net worth is estimated to be around $300,000 according to Celebrity Net Worth. The single mother of 14 has been open about her financial struggles since she entered the spotlight. 'At the time, I was not unemployed. I was on disability,' she told People. 'I did not use taxpayers' money,' she affirmed about how she could afford IVF treatments. 'I'd saved so much money working as a psychiatric technician at a state psych hospital. I saved well over a hundred thousand dollars. I used all of that money. Instead of buying a house I bought in vitros. I also had an inheritance close to $60,000 that paid for it too, which I'm not proud of. It should have gone for my older kids. I also got student loans, but I paid for everything, period.' Suleman also opened up about her financial insecurity in the early 2010s and how the media painted her to be mooching off the government. According to court papers, she filed for bankruptcy after owing money to Sylvan Learning Center, childcare center Lad N. Lassie and private elementary school Whittier Christian School—debts that combine with others to amount to between $500,000 and $1 million. 'We were always struggling financially but in 2013 that was more than ever. I went right back to my old profession as a therapist working 40 hours a week,' she says. 'I used my education. For years I was typecast as the welfare recipient, unemployed mother, all of which is wrong.' She left her job in 2018 to take care of her son Aidan who has autism. 'I've always been his only provider, but I never got paid,' she revealed. 'So in 2018, that's when I started to get actually paid. It's decent money, but it's still nothing compared to what we need to make to be comfortable in life.' The happy family of 14 are currently living comfortably in Orange County, Calif, after they found security and community. She noted that one couple 'offered us to live here half the rent just because they're good Christian people,' she says. 'People at church have made a positive difference.'

Here's who father is Gypsy Rose Blanchard was previously engaged to Ken Urker while completing her eight-year prison sentence. Now the couple is having a baby. Natalie "Nadya" Suleman, the woman who became known as "Octomom," is telling her story over 15 years after she became the subject of intense media backlash surrounding the birth of her 16-year-old octuplets. Suleman is opening up in a People magazine interview published on Thursday about being coined "Octomom" following the 2009 controversy involving her IVF doctor. Suleman is reentering the cultural conversation, after leaving the spotlight in 2013, ahead of a new Lifetime biopic "I Was Octomom" and companion docuseries "Confessions of Octomom," which premiere respectively on Friday and Monday. "I don't think I'd do too much differently," Suleman revealed to People. "I do regret not suing the infertility doctor," Dr. Michael Kamrava, who implanted her with more embryos than typical for in vitro fertilization treatments. "I definitely regret that because his insurance would've been the one paying, and it would've been some millions, and it would've been helpful for my family," the mom of 14 said. Suleman and Kamrava, who implanted her with six times the normal amount of two embryos, received harsh media backlash after reports surfaced after Suleman gave birth in 2009 to the first-ever surviving octuplets amid a strained financial situation. She is also mom to six older children. 'Octomom' Nadya Suleman is a grandmother after son, daughter-in-law welcome baby girl After lying about the number of embryos he implanted in Suleman, Kamrava was stripped of his medical license. "I regret that I kind of threw myself under the bus to cover for him, and I shouldn't have, but I was grateful. I wouldn't have had any of my kids if it weren't for his innovative technique. No one else in the world did this type of procedure so I didn't have it in my heart to sue him," Suleman added. Suleman told People that she wanted "just one more" baby, but Kamrava implanted her with 12 embryos after originally telling her told her he'd only implanted six embryos. "But I did sue the hospital because they breached HIPAA," Suleman says of hospital workers who allegedly leaked her name and medical information to the media. "They're the reason why I ended up in the public eye." The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, also known as HIPAA, protects patients' health care information from being released by healthcare providers like doctors without permission and consent. 'Octomom' Nadya Suleman opens up about motherhood Suleman stressed during a People video interview that she chose to do a docuseries instead of a reality TV show due to the developmental effects of reality television on children. But she's describing herself as "grateful." "Natalie Suleman is just a mom of many and she is very, very, very grateful," Suleman described herself to People. "We are a loving family and we're there for each other. All of my kids are just very humble, grounded, kind people with good hearts." Suleman admitted to the outlet that she chose to have so many children out of fear of loneliness. "I wasn't happy as an only child, and clearly I projected my dream onto my kids and wanting a big, well, not this big of a family, but I did want seven kids," she told People. "But it's not enough to say I wanted a big family because I was lonely," she added. "There is an amalgamation of factors. I wanted kids to create maybe a safe and predictable little world that I lacked growing up. So then of course, I projected onto my future family."
