Jennifer Lawrence is opening up about how marriage and motherhood have reshaped her daily life, revealing how her relationship with husband Cooke Maroney has helped bring balance after what she describes as a chaotic upbringing. 

Speaking candidly on the Jan. 12 episode of the SmartLess podcast, the Oscar winner reflected on adapting to a very different lifestyle since tying the knot and starting a family.

“I married somebody who is the opposite of me,” Lawrence, 35, shared. “He is so organized. He’s an anchor.” 

She explained that Maroney’s calm, structured nature has influenced how she manages her home and time. 

“Everything is ordered,” she said, noting that she has learned to adjust by keeping certain spaces closed off and assigning herself small responsibilities she works hard to maintain.

That structure became especially important after welcoming children.

Lawrence and Maroney share a son, Cy, 3, and welcomed their second baby in 2025. While strict schedules didn’t come naturally to her, Lawrence admitted she now understands why they matter. 

“I get it now, I get it,” she said, explaining that their kids follow a very precise routine. She credited her husband with maintaining it, adding, “He’s good at keeping it.”

Still, the actress acknowledged that compromise is key. 

“But we’ve learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15 minute wiggle room,” she said, a sentiment host Jason Bateman supported by joking that rigid timing can put strain on a relationship. 

Lawrence later noted that tight schedules can be especially challenging for her, adding with humour that she might need occupational therapy to help manage her ADD.

Beyond schedules, Lawrence has previously shared how becoming a mother shifted her entire perspective. 

In a November interview with W Magazine, she spoke about the emotional intensity of early motherhood. 

“When I had my first child, I felt completely connected to my baby,” she said, while also realizing how difficult it was to re-enter a world not built around that bond. “Everything looks different after that.”

Through marriage, motherhood, and mutual understanding, Lawrence says she’s found stability in a life that once felt overwhelming, crediting both her partner and her community for helping her navigate it all.

Chelsea Handler did not hold back when asked about Tom Brady, making it clear that the retired NFL star is not her type. 

The comedian shared her blunt take during a Jan. 7 appearance on Sirius XM’s Page Six Radio, reacting to recent photos of Brady spending New Year’s Eve with social media star Alix Earle.

“I saw that picture,” Handler, 50, said while discussing Brady’s run-in with Earle. “I have no interest in Tom Brady. I don’t find him dynamic, hot, interesting, or fun. I find him so boring.” 

She doubled down moments later, adding, “I think he’s a total dud. I couldn’t, I mean, so I don’t have any thoughts.”

Handler also brushed off any curiosity about Earle, 25, saying she doesn’t know enough about her to care about the rumoured connection. 

“I don’t really know that [much] about Alix Earle. So, I don’t care to answer your question. Do I need to expound?” she joked, keeping the tone light but dismissive.

The comedian went on to explain that she’s generally turned off by men who seem overly focused on vanity. 

While she acknowledged that such men often have freedom in their dating lives, she made it clear that lifestyle doesn’t appeal to her personally.

Handler’s comments came shortly after Brady, 48, was spotted celebrating New Year’s Eve with Earle in St. Barths. Photos showed the pair looking close as they rang in 2026 at a nightclub. 

A source later told Us Weekly, “Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths. They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them.”

Handler isn’t the only public figure to criticise Brady recently. Sports commentator Skip Bayless, known for supporting Brady during his football career, has openly questioned the quarterback’s post-retirement choices. 

Speaking on The Skip Bayless Show, Bayless took issue with Brady’s business moves and broadcasting career, calling his on-air presence unimpressive and his commercial appearances unnecessary.

“He’s so blah, he’s terribly blah,” Bayless said, adding that Brady’s post-football career hasn’t matched his success on the field.

While Brady continues to make headlines for his personal life and career decisions, Handler’s sharp remarks have added another layer to the ongoing conversation, one that leaves no doubt about where she stands.

• Indonesia’s defence minister meets Field Marshal Munir.
• Both sides underscore importance of defence ties.
• Indonesia’s air chief lauds professionalism of Pakistan’s forces.

Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to fostering a strong and enduring defence relationship with Indonesia, according to a statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

Lieutenant General Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin (Retd), Minister of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia, called on Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir at General Headquarters (GHQ), Rawalpindi, according to the military’s media wing.

The meeting focused on matters of mutual interest, evolving regional and global security dynamics, and exploration of avenues for enhancing bilateral defence cooperation, the statement said. Both sides underscored the importance of strengthening institutional linkages, training collaboration, and defence industrial cooperation between Pakistan and Indonesia, it said.

The visiting dignitary lauded the professionalism of the Pakistan Armed Forces and acknowledged their sacrifices in the fight against terrorism. He also expressed Indonesia’s desire to further expand defence ties with Pakistan across multiple domains.

The CDF reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to fostering a strong and enduring defence relationship with Indonesia, based on shared values, mutual respect, and convergence of strategic interests.

Pak-Indonesia defence deal near: sources

The visiting minister earlier called on Pakistan’s air force chief in Islamabad to discuss a potential deal that includes the sale of combat jets and killer drones to Jakarta, three security officials with knowledge of the meeting on Monday said.

The talks come as Pakistan’s defence industry moves forward with a series of defence procurement negotiations and looks to establish itself as a sizable regional player.

Indonesia’s defence ministry confirmed the meeting between Sjamsoeddin and Pakistan’s Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu.

“The meeting focused on discussing general defence cooperation relations, including strategic dialogue, strengthening communication between defence institutions, and opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields in the long term,” defence ministry spokesperson Brigadier General Rico Ricardo Sirait told Reuters, adding the talks had not yet led to concrete decisions.

One source said the talks revolved around the sale of JF-17 jets, a multi-role combat aircraft jointly developed by Pakistan and China, and killer drones designed for surveillance and striking targets.

The other two sources said the talks were in an advanced stage and involved more than 40 JF-17 jets. One of them said Indonesia was also interested in Pakistan’s Shahpar drones.

The sources did not share any discussions about delivery timelines and the number of years a proposed deal would span.

The Pakistani military’s public relations wing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
