Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively pregnant with fourth child
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have made a surprise personal announcement, leaving fans stunned at a recent event in New York.
Blake Lively has another baby on the way!
The Gossip Girl alum shocked fans by debuting her baby bump at the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit on Thursday in New York City.
The actress, 35, was all smiles cradling her budding belly in a sparkling gold dress in photos published by the New York Post.
Lively, who is already the mother of daughters James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2, with husband Ryan Reynolds, paired the look with white heels, hoop earrings and a headband.

The Age of Adaline star has yet to announce the news via social media.
In fact, one of Lively’s last social media uploads in August showed her flat stomach in a white bikini, although she did not specify when the poolside picture was taken.
“Summer lovin’ … had me a blast,” Lively captioned the Instagram post.
She and her Green Lantern co-star, 45, tied the knot in September 2012, and the couple started growing their family two years later when James arrived.
Inez and Betty were born in 2016 and 2019, respectively.
Reynolds revealed in October 2021 that he was taking a “sabbatical” from acting to focus on life with their little ones.
“Well, I’ve done a lot of [acting] … and I don’t want to miss this time with my kids,” the actor explained during a LinkedIn News interview two months later.
“I want my kids to have a pretty normal schedule,” Reynolds continued in December 2021. “I think it’s totally important for their development and I really enjoy being a present dad. I love taking them to school in the morning, I love picking them up.”
He and Lively have been vocal over the years about their plans for a big brood — even sharing their baby fever before conceiving James.
“If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would,” the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants star told Marie Claire in September 2014.
The previous year, Reynolds explained to Details that he and his wife both came from large families.
“We’d love to have a big family,” the Golden Globe nominee said in 2013.
“A lot of people say it’s crazy, but we’ll only know when we’re there, you know? We’ll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think.”
