Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong><\/a> and Emma Stone<\/strong><\/a> have a lot in common as Oscar-winning actresses as well as new mothers and are spending tons of time together in New York City as they navigate similar life stages and challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cJennifer adores Emma, she\u2019s one of her very best friends and was one of the first to meet the new baby,\u201d a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>. The Hunger Games<\/em> star, 34, welcomed her first child, Cy<\/strong>, with husband Cooke Maroney<\/strong> in February 2022 and a second child recently, though details about the gender and name are being kept private. While she\u2019s been tight-lipped about her family in general, Jennifer did open up about the emotional impact of becoming a mother. \u201cThe morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over,\u201d she told Vogue after Cy\u2019s birth. \u201cI just stared. I was just so in love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The source adds, \u201cIt won\u2019t surprise anyone that Emma is a godparent, they are that close, but they\u2019re both fiercely private when it comes to their kids so that\u2019s not something they would announce.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Emma, 36, also has a kid about Cy\u2019s age after becoming a mom herself to Louise Jean<\/strong> in 2021 with husband Dave McCary<\/strong><\/a>. She\u2019s kept her personal life similarly shrouded in mystery, but has spoken positively about the experience and happy she\u2019s in a position to keep working after welcoming the little one. \u201cI feel very lucky to be able to do what I do and also have time to be with my family,\u201d she told Elle<\/em> in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n It makes sense then that, \u201cEmma was one of the first people Jennifer called after she had the baby<\/a>,\u201d the insider says. \u201cBeing able to spend some time outside the house and off of mom-duty with her was a priority.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The two A-listers first became friends after initially competing for parts. Jen previously discussed how badly she wanted Emma\u2019s part in 2010\u2019s Easy A<\/em>. As actresses just getting their start, they quickly developed a relationship via mutual friend Woody Harrelson<\/strong> and have stayed close ever since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s my best friend,\u201d the Superbad<\/em> actress said of the Hunger Games<\/em> star in an interview with W Magazine<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Now, their kids are sharing in their tight-knit friendship. \u201cIt\u2019s great because their kids get along well, which makes it easy to get together because they can turn it into a playdate,\u201d the source adds.<\/span><\/p>\n With stunningly successful careers that are still flourishing \u2014 Emma\u2019s won two Oscars to date for her roles in La La Land<\/em> in 2017 and more recently Poor Things<\/em> in 2024, while Jennifer scooped up a Best Actress for Silver Lining\u2019s Playbook<\/em> in 2013 \u2014 both women can share their experiences as mothers and relate to the pressures and stresses of being one of the top actresses in Hollywood. \u201cJennifer feels so lucky<\/a> to have a friend that gets her on so many levels,\u201d the insider explains. \u201cBeing a woman in the industry and a mom \u2014 it\u2019s a very unique situation. Not a lot of people can relate, and Emma can.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
