Jennifer Lawrence might have starred in a very popular film this year, but she considers herself a stay-at-home mom

Lawrence shares her two sons with husband Cooke Maroney

Jennifer Lawrence might be one of Hollywood's most elite actresses, but she still considers herself a stay-at-home mom.

The Die, My Love actress, 35, appeared on a Monday, Jan. 12 episode of the SmartLess podcast and shared that she thinks of herself as a stay-at-home mom rather than a working actor. Lawrence is mom to sons Cy, 3, and a second baby, whose name has not yet been revealed, with husband Cooke Maroney.

"That's me. I identify as a stay-at-home mom," Lawrence said on the podcast. "But I am obviously working."

"I'm not used to being busy like this. I normally have a busy three months while I'm filming, but even in that sense, it's calm because there is nothing else to do," she continued. "I just go to work, I do that, I come home, I sleep, and then I do it again. And then, like, two weeks while you promote. It is hectic."

She also shared insight on her co-parenting relationship with Maroney, whom she described as the "opposite" of her.

"I married somebody who is the opposite of me. He is so organized. He's an anchor," said the actress. "Everything is ordered. I have to keep the closet doors closed, and I have my little jobs that I work really hard to do."

"I get it now, I get it. [The kids are] on a very strict schedule. You know, it's like breakfast: 7:30," explained Lawrence. "He's good at keeping it. But we've learned [that] to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room."

Back in December, Lawrence participated in The Hollywood Reporter's Actress Roundtable and explained that while she previously vowed not to discuss her kids in interviews, she found that it was hard not to touch the subject.

"I was surprised when I started doing this because I've always been really strict about, 'I don't want to talk about my kids,' " Lawrence said. "But it's impossible not to, so I've landed on, 'I will talk about my experience as a mother.' But it did make me realize that it was not something I had considered."

That November, the Hunger Games star spoke with W. Magazine and revealed she was pregnant with her second son while filming her new movie, Die My Life — a feat she jokingly called "real sexy family planning."

"I knew I was going to be doing the movie, and I also knew that I needed a second child before my other son got too old," Lawrence told the outlet. She added that being in the second trimester while filming was good because "in the first trimester, you're very sick; and in the second trimester, you start to feel better."

She also shared that being pregnant while filming helped her relate better to her character. Lawrence noted she understood how motherhood "takes any kind of veneer off, because now you're seeing the world through somebody else's eyes — somebody who's so much more important than you are."
