The “Gossip Girl” star stunned viewers on Thursday by showing off her growing baby belly at New York City’s 10th annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit.
The 35-year-old actress was glowing as she held her growing baby bump and smiled in a shimmering gold gown.
Lively wore white heels, hoop earrings, and a headband with the ensemble. She is already the mother of three young children, James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2, with her husband Ryan Reynolds.
The “Age of Adaline” actress has not yet made a social media announcement.
Lively posted a photograph of herself in a white bikini and poolside in August, but she did not say when the photo was taken.
“Summer lovin’ … had me a blast,” Lively wrote in the description of the Instagram post.
She married her co-star from “Green Lantern,” who is 45, in September of 2012, and the pair welcomed their first child, James, two years later.
Inez was born in 2016, and Betty will join us in 2019.
Actor Ryan Reynolds said in October 2021 that he was taking a “sabbatical” from the industry to spend more time with his family.
To which the actor replies, “Well, I’ve done a lot of [acting] … and I don’t want to miss this time with my kids,” the actor said in a LinkedIn News interview two months later.
In December of 2021, Reynolds elaborated,“I want my kids to have a pretty normal schedule, I think it’s totally important for their development and I really enjoy being a present dad. I love taking them to school in the morning, I love picking them up.”
He and Lively have been quite open about their desire for a large family for quite some time, including discussing their pregnancy cravings before they had James.
The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” actress said to Marie Claire in September 2014, “If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would.”
Reynolds had told Details the year before that both he and his wife grew up in big families.
“We’d love to have a big family, A lot of people say it’s crazy, but we’ll only know when we’re there, you know? We’ll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think.”
