Blake Lively has confirmed her fourth pregnancy in a stance against the paparazzi.
On Saturday, the 35-year-old actress posted a series of photos on Instagram featuring her baby bump. She also called out photographers who have been trying to take a snap of her since she debuted her belly a few days ago.
Lively, who is already a mom of three, captioned her post, writing: “Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a sighting will leave me alone. You freak me and my kids out.”
It continues, “Thanks to everyone else for all the love and respect and for continuing to unfollow accounts and publications who share photos of children. You have all the power against them.”
The “Gossip Girl” alum also thanks the media “who have a ‘No Kids Policy,’” adding that they make all the difference. She ends the post with “Much love” and signs off, writing “Xxb.”
People, in its recent piece covering the matter, shared that the photos Blake Lively posted include some of her friends and family members. One of them shows her in a red one-piece swimsuit with Ryan Reynolds.
There are also snaps featuring Taylor Swift, who is a close friend of the couple, and Robyn Lively, the actress’s sister.
The post, which surfaced on Saturday evening, has since amassed more than 2.9 million likes. It also has received over 3,600 comments, with netizens expressing their care, love, and support toward the “Age of Adaline” star.
It all comes after Blake Lively shocked the public with her baby bump Thursday. She debuted her budding belly when she attended the Forbes Power Women’s Summit in New York City.
She and Ryan Reynolds maintained their silence regarding the matter for days until the post on Saturday.
Despite the silence, though, a source spoke to People Friday and shared some insight on the “A Simple Favor” actress as a mom of three.
As claimed, Lively is a “really attentive mom,” and “her kids are her first priority over everything.” It was also stated that “she wants to be that old-fashioned kind of mom,” adding that “when the kids are out or sleeping that’s when she makes time to do work stuff.”
Elsewhere in the exchange with the magazine, the insider asserted that one would never think that Blake Lively, a “superstar and beautiful woman, would be this regular person who cooks dinner every night and takes care of the family, but she is really wonderful with the kids.”
