For now, the Hollywood star couple has not confirmed the news.
This fourth pregnancy is in any case a surprise, since the former actress of the series
Gossip Girl
posted in August a photo of her in a bikini which still did not show anything.
“I have never felt so much myself”
A few months ago, during an interview, Blake Lively confided in motherhood.
“I think having kids has made me feel a lot better about myself.
I've never felt more myself, more comfortable in my body, or more confident - I'm not saying I never have insecurities that plague me a million times a day, but I I feel incredibly good”, she declared in the magazine
Forbes
.
Then to recall the importance of the family: “My family is always my priority and that since childhood, whether it is my parents and my brothers and sisters, or now my own family.
The family is […] at the base of everything I create.”
The Hollywood couple that lasts
In a relationship for more than ten years, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have encountered some pitfalls before spinning the perfect love.
The two met in 2010, on the set of Martin Campbell's
Green Lantern
, but their relationship was platonic at first.
"We were friends," the 45-year-old actor remembered in the "SmartLess" podcast in 2021. A year later, his divorce from Scarlett Johansson was finalized.
At the same time, Blake Lively broke up with Penn Bagdley, Dan's interpreter in
Gossip Girl
.
That being the case, the romance between the heroes of
Green Lantern
will take months to begin.
“Nearly a year and a half after we met, we arranged a double date… with the people we were dating at the time,” said Ryan Reynolds.
The two would subsequently “stay in contact, but in a friendly way”.
Single again, the actor seizes the opportunity to see Blake Lively again.
“One day when she was going to Boston, and I was like, 'Well, I'm going to ride with you.
We both took the train.
I simply begged her to sleep with me.
The sequel, Ryan Reynolds described it in
GQ
, in November 2016. “We went to a small restaurant in Tribeca (
Lower Manhattan in New York, Ed.
) which opens really late, and a song is played.
I said, "Do you want to dance?"
No one was there, the street was empty.
And the magic happens.
"A week later, I said to him, 'We should buy a house together,' Ryan Reynolds still remembered in the "SmartLess" podcast.
And we did.”
The couple will finally seal their union on September 9, 2012, in South Carolina, before giving birth to three daughters, James, in 2014, Inez, in 2016, and Betty, in 2019.
