Lawrence rarely talks about her son but opened up to Kylie Jenner.
Did you have Jennifer Lawrence interviewing Kylie Jenner on your 2023 bingo card? I sure didn’t, but it’s not really a surprise given the Oscar winner’s longtime fascination with the Kardashian-Jenner clan. In fact, Lawrence referred to famed momager Kris Jenner as “our mother” at one point during their Zoom chat for Interview Magazine.
Speaking of mothers, the 26-year-old reality star and the 33-year-old actor have both added the title to their own résumés in recent years. Jenner shares two children, five-year-old Stormi and one-year-old Aire, with ex-partner Travis Scott. Meanwhile, Lawrence welcomed her son, Cy, with husband Cooke Maroney in February 2022.
During their chat the young parents discussed how they keep their children safe as public figures. “I’m curious how your kids react to security,” Lawrence said. “I didn’t have that much security before I had a kid, but once I had one, with my intrusive thoughts and anxiety, I wanted us to have security around all the time.”
Jenner agreed, also claiming she never hired security until she got pregnant. Now she’s had two guards “in rotation” for the last “five-plus” years. “[Stormi is] very familiar with them, which I feel comfortable with,” Jenner explained. “She actually has a lot of love for them. I just tell my security to not make it so serious, so they have a good relationship. I’m trying to figure it out too because I never had security growing up, so I don’t know what that’s like, but I try to make it as normal and friendly as possible.”
Lawrence admitted she wanted her security guard to be “invisible” until she realized it sent the wrong message to her son. “Yeah, friendly is nice because before I hired them, in my mind I was like, I want them to be invisible. I don’t want my kid to see you or know you,” Lawrence explained. “And then once they start working for you, it’s like, ‘Well, wait. This is a person in our life. He’s helping us.’”
She continued, “That’s not really a good lesson to ignore the person that’s helping us. It’s probably better to say, ‘Say good morning to Sean. Hi. How are you?’ We’ve incorporated them more in our lives, which surprised me. That wasn’t how I planned it.”
Of course, Jennifer Lawrence and Kylie Jenner also talked about more fun topics like makeup. When asked what Stormi thinks Jenner does for work, the Kylie Cosmetics mogul replied, “Mommy makes makeup.” She added, “Stormi was playing with my makeup yesterday. She loves putting on a red lip every once in a while…just around the house, obviously. And I like to always show her my name’s on the lipstick. I’m like, ‘This is Mommy’s lipstick. Your mom’s really cool.’”
