Aw! Blake Lively Is Expecting Her Fourth Child With Ryan Reynolds
She showed off her baby bump.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ family is getting bigger. According to E! Online, the A Simple Favor star revealed she’s expecting again by debuting her baby bump at the Forbes Power Women's Summit on Sept. 15. Lively was walking the red carpet in a sequined mini-dress when she put her hand on her stomach to emphasize her growing bump.
The couple hasn’t formally announced their pregnancy, and a representative for Lively did not immediately return Elite Daily’s request for confirmation; however, Lively hinted that she isn’t done expanding her family while talking to Forbes’ Executive Vice President Moira Forbes.
“I just like to create. Whether that’s baking or storytelling or businesses or humans, I just really like creating,” Lively said at the event, per E! Online.
Lively and Reynolds met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010 and began dating a year later. They tied the knot in South Carolina in September 2012 and welcomed their first child — a daughter named James — in December 2014. Lively gave birth to their second daughter, Inez, in September 2016, and their youngest daughter, Betty, in October 2019. Lively and Reynolds kept Betty’s name a secret until they let their friend Taylor Swift announce her name in Swift’s 2020 song, “Betty.”
The couple sure knows how to surprise fans. Lively shocked everyone with her baby bump reveal at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit. According to the event’s official website, the actor spoke during The Multi-Hyphenate: Taking the Entrepreneurial Stage panel to discuss her work as an actor, director, producer, and entrepreneur.
At one point during the discussion, Lively talked about balancing her work life with her personal life. “My family is the most important thing to me, and they always have been,” she said.
Lively added that her mother, Elaine Lively, helped shape her view of what it meant to be both a mom and a businesswoman. “It’s important for me [and] for my kids to see that you don’t have to choose one or the other. I don’t need them to choose to be a businesswoman or a mom,” she said. “They can be both or neither. But just for them to see that anything is possible.”
To her point, one of Lively’s most recent endeavors could soon be the receipt of a major award. In November of last year, Lively directed Swift’s music video for “I Bet You Think About Me.” The video is currently up for Music Video of the Year at the 2022 Country Music Awards (CMAs), which air on Nov. 9.
