“Hunger Games” actress is expecting her first child together with spouse and art gallery director, Cooke Maroney, the entertainer agent affirmed to PEOPLE on Wednesday.
Jennifer has recently made it clear she couldn’t want anything more than to begin a family, revealing to Diane Sawyer in 2015, “I definitely want to be a mother.” The following year, she imparted to Glamor that she envisions she’ll have children “and then my whole life will just seem complete.”
During a meeting on the NAKED With Catt Sadler digital broadcast, Jennifer shared her side into her choice to make things official with Cooke. “We wanted to commit fully,” she shared at the time. “And, you know, he’s my best friend. I feel very honored to become a Maroney.”

She additionally called Maroney, “the greatest human being I’ve ever met… He really is, and he gets better.”
When inquired as to why she decided to wed Maroney, Jennifer proceeded, “I don’t know, I started with the basics: ‘How do I feel? Is he nice? Is he kind?'”

“It’s just — this is the one, I know that sounds really stupid but he’s just, he’s — you know. He’s the greatest person I’ve ever met, so I feel very honored to become a Maroney,” she added.
