Early life

edit

Maroney was born on July 3, 1984, to James Maroney, an art dealer, and Suki Fredericks, in New York City.[1][2][3] He has a younger sister named Annabelle, born around the time Maroney began kindergarten.[4][5] In 1986, the family moved to Leicester, Vermont so they could give Maroney a quieter life.[3][4] Maroney's parents opened Oliver Hill Farm, a dairy and animal farm in Middlebury, Vermont, in 1990.[3][6][7] A 1994 fire ruined much of the farm.[6]

After graduating from Middlebury Union High School,[6] Maroney achieved a Majors' degree in art history at New York University, graduating in 2007.[2][8][5][9][10]

Career

edit

After graduating from college, Maroney began a job at the Gagosian Gallery in New York City.[5][10][11] However, he has since quit that job.[5] Around 2022, Maroney became the director-at-large of Gladstone 64, the Gladstone Gallery's Upper East Side location.[12][13] Maroney has had several notable clients, such as Matthew Barney, Anish Kapoor, Richard Prince, and Lena Dunham's father Carroll Dunham.[3][11]

"He's definitely respected," a source told The Cut. "He's not a big player, but he’s a player. I’d say he understands what good art is...I know that he likes contemporary but I know he also appreciates modernism. I think he really has solid taste in art and he’s a very good art dealer, and I expect a fruitful career out of him."[11]

Maroney has attended a number of "art-world parties." He has been seen at parties alongside Stavros Niarchos and Waris Ahluwalia. "He's definitely fun-loving but I wouldn’t say he’s out of control," a source told The Cut. "He likes to have fun, a young good [New York] guy who likes to participate and have fun."[11]

Maroney's private Instagram page has several notable followers, such as Paris Hilton, Derek Blasberg, and Anna Wintour's daughter Bee Shaffer.[11]

Personal life

edit

Maroney met actress Jennifer Lawrence in May 2018, through Lawrence's friend Laura Simpson.[5] They began dating the next month and got engaged in early February of 2019.[14][7] Their engagement party took place at The River Café in Brooklyn.[15] Maroney and Lawrence were married on October 19, 2019, at the Belcourt of Newport mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.[3][5][7] For their honeymoon, they stayed at the NIHI Sumba Resort in Indonesia, at the home of the owner Chris Burch.[16][17] In September 2021, Lawrence's representative revealed that Lawrence and Maroney were expecting their first child.[14] A son was born on February 23, 2022.[5] Lawrence and Maroney named him Cy, after Cy Twombly, one of Maroney's favorite artists.[18] The family lives together, most often in a townhouse in the West Village area of New York City and sometimes in Bel Air, Los Angeles.[19][20][21]
