Blake Lively hits back at paparazzi 'waiting outside' her home by sharing candid pregnancy photos

Blake Lively has hit out at paparazzi "waiting outside" her house since she announced that she is expecting her fourth child.

The former Gossip Girl star, 35, debuted her baby bump on the red carpet at the 10th annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit.

However, since then the star says photographers have been waiting outside her home for a sighting of her growing baby bump.

Hitting back at the paparazzi Blake unveiled a series of private photos on her Instagram in hope that it would make the photographers "leave her alone".

She also slammed those waiting for freaking her and her three children out.

Alongside the sweet pregnancy photos, Blake wrote: "Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a unicorn sighting will leave me alone. You freak me and my kids out.

"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.

"And thank you to the media who have a ‘No Kids Policy’. You all make all the difference. Much love!"

Blake already has three daughters - James, seven, Inez, five, and Betty, two - with her husband Ryan Reynolds, who she began dating 2011 before marrying in 2012.

The pair - who keep their private life very under wraps - revealed their youngest child’s name with the help of Taylor Swift, who named her Folklore album track after the toddler in 2020 and later detailed how they trust the 32-year-old singer-songwriter “implicitly”. ]

Ryan, 45,  said: “She’s very sensitive to any of that stuff. And obviously, the song has nothing to do with our kids other than our kids’ names. But I mean, what an honour. We thought it was pretty damn amazing.

We still do. You know, I still walk down the street and shake my head thinking, ‘I can’t believe that happened.'”

The Deadpool star recently shared about his decision to step away from acting for a bit to focus on fatherhood.

Ryan said: “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.

“When I’m shooting a film, I’m oftentimes in Europe, I’m away, there are incredibly long hours, it’s a ton of constant, kind of requirement to be there the whole time, not just because I’m performing but I’m also generally producing and writing on my movies as well.”
He added: “I really enjoy being a presenter dad. I love taking them to school in the morning, I love picking them up.”
