According to a relative of the actress, the arrival of this baby would have been calculated in particular according to the professional life of Blake Lively.
“The last few years have been huge for her in terms of career success.
When she finished her most recent project, she knew it was time for a new child,” she says.
The desire for a fourth child also occurred within the couple after a health check of the actor.
In a video shared on Instagram in early September, Ryan Reynolds informed his fans that a colonoscopy had saved his life a year earlier.
During her routine examination, her doctor had removed three benign tumors which “could have become serious if they had not been found in time”, we learned in her awareness video.
“It was a huge trigger for him,” assured a relative of the actor to the newspaper.
After this episode, the couple would have decided to slow down and take advantage of what they had already built together.
“That's when they decided they wanted to have another child, says the close to Ryan Reynolds.
They prioritize their health, marriage and family.
Anything else becomes secondary.”
