Everyone’s favourite A-list mum and dad are expecting again! It comes as no surprise that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have their fourth child on the way. What may come as more of a shock is that they have already had it!

In a celebration post for 2023’s Super Bowl, Lively posted a cute family snap featuring a noticeably lacking baby bump.
Fans were quick to pick up on this, with many sharing their congratulations for the Reynolds and Lively’s new family addition.
“Epic post! I knew the baby had arrived. Great job keeping your life private (as you can). Bravo,” one commenter wrote.
“Did I miss something. Where is the baby bump?,” another shared.
Lively’s seemingly instantaneous transformation was preceded by a January 3rd Instagram post, featuring her recent bump progression. Given the timeline of her pregnancy, it’s safe to say fans have already delivered the due share of congrats.
She and husband Ryan Reynolds managed to keep her pregnancy news a secret for several months, if Blake’s baby bump debut is anything to go by.
Onlookers erupted into applause as she arrived at the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit in a tiny gold minidress in September 2022.
Covered in sequins, the dress sparkled over stylish Blake’s belly, which she cradled gently as she beamed for waiting photographers.
The 35-year-old joked of her surprise: “I just like to create. Whether that’s baking or storytelling or businesses or humans, I just really like creating.”
This will be her and Ryan’s fourth child together, the couple already sharing James, seven, Inez, five, and Betty, two.
Ryan didn’t accompany Blake as she revealed the news in 2022 and was likely at home with their children, as he recently took a break from acting to spend more time with their young family.
“The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don’t want to miss this time with my kids,” he told LinkedIn News Senior Editor at Large Jessi Hempel last year.
“For many years when my wife Blake would shoot a film, I would not shoot a film and I would be with the kids and vice versa. So we would sort of trade-off. We never really worked at the same time. But always we were away.”
As for what Blake and Ryan may choose to name their next addition, fans already have something of a conspiracy theory going.
Many have speculated that the couple’s close friend Taylor Swift will be the one to reveal what name Blake and Ryan have planned for their next bub.
The songstress included all three of their children’s names on her 2020 album Folklore in the song ‘Betty’.
In her latest album, Midnights, some fans have theorised that Taylor – who has been close with Blake and Ryan for years – included a secret reference to their fourth child in her lyrics.
