Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds announce they welcomed baby number four in actress’s latest post

Blake Lively revealed on Super Bowl Sunday that both she and husband Ryan Reynolds welcomed their fourth child together in the actress’ latest Instagram post.

The Gossip Girl alum, 35, could be seen flashing a happy smile as she stood between the Deadpool actor, 46, and his mother Tammy as she showed fans she no longer has a baby bump.

In the caption for the snap carousel, the talented beauty wrote to her 38million followers: “Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023” while adding that she was “busy”.

The two lovebirds, who tied the knot in 2012, already share daughters James, 7, Inez, 6, and Betty, 3.

The happy baby news comes shortly after a source informed Us Weekly a few months earlier in November that Blake “doesn’t have long to go” before she welcomes a fourth addition.

The happy couple has yet to reveal the baby’s name or a picture of their adorable newborn.

Alongside the cute family photo, which was captured in a cozy living room, the actress also shared a few photos of the delicious food they enjoyed during the big day of the game.

Tasty treats included a delicious cake and a hearty, homemade pizza topped with melted cheese and chunks of tomato.

Social media users flocked to the comments section, also noting the missing baby bump, with one commenting, “Wait, did you have the baby?”

Another fan also gushed, “The baby is here,” followed by a heart-eyed emoji. A third wrote: “Great discreet birth announcement! Congratulations to the Reynolds family!’

Other followers applauded Blake’s incredible postpartum body, writing: “I mean jealous that you fit in jeans. My last baby is 96 months old and I still wear leggings.”

A second humorously added: “She gives birth discreetly and afterwards looks like this in a tight shirt. She’s good at that.”

Blake officially announced she’s expecting baby number four early last year in September 2022 while attending the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit.

She had put on a radiant show in a gold sequined mini dress that perfectly displayed her growing baby bump while posing for photos on the star-studded red carpet.

A source at the time told People that the happy news came as a huge shock, explaining, “She kept it very secret.”

“Even her friends were surprised she was pregnant again,” the insider added.

Discussing the actress’ loving motherhood, the source said, “Her children are her top priority above everything.”

“You never thought that Blake Lively, this superstar and this beautiful woman, would be this normal person who cooks dinner every night and takes care of the family, but she’s really wonderful with the kids.”

While both the talented beauty and her husband of 10 years have yet to reveal the gender of their newborn, Ryan opened up about the possibility of adding another baby girl to their family.

The Free Guy actor said on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon late last year: “I know I’m a bit of a hen myself. i know girls I’m a girl dad. I’m used to it. I’m ready for it.”

Blake has also been keeping her fans updated throughout her pregnancy, sharing an Instagram photo series shortly after the actress confirmed she was expecting her fourth child.

In some of the snaps, the blonde bombshell showed off her burgeoning baby bump in a black bralette and matching bottoms as she snapped a quick mirror selfie.

In another, she hugged her best friend Taylor Swift while wearing a pink bikini as they enjoyed a day under the sun.

While Blake and Ryan haven’t announced when they welcomed their fourth child, the Age Of Adeline star uploaded a before and after photo with her husband to Instagram with her husband earlier last month in January.

The happy couple were seen in a workout studio before their pregnancy, with the second snap showing the two in the same room striking a similar pose after their pregnancy announcement.

In the caption, she had written, “I’ve been doing @donsaladino’s workout routine for months now,” jokingly adding, “Something’s not working.”

The couple, who made a stunning performance together three months earlier in November at the 36th Annual American Cinematheque Awards, are already parents to daughters James, 7, Inez, 6, and Betty, 3.

“I think having kids for me has made me feel so much better about myself,” the talented star recently told Forbes.

“I’ve never felt more comfortable or confident in myself or in my own body, not to say I’m not overcome with a million insecurities a day, but I just feel incredibly reassured.”
