The actress revealed last week that she’s pregnant with her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds when she stepped out on the red carpet at the Forbes Power Women Summit, her baby bump visible beneath her sparkling Valentino minidress.
And on Saturday, she hit back at paparazzi itching to get even more
photos of her growing belly; the star, 35, posted a slew of photos of her
pregnancy journey thus far on Instagram, including several snaps of herself
in a red cutout swimsuit.
Lively, 35, wore Follow Suit’s “Flora”
one-piece ($225), which features a V-wire front, high-cut leg and pretty
petal cutouts at the waistline.
And it’s not the only bump-friendly bathing suit in her
arsenal; elsewhere in the photo carousel, Lively’s seen wearing a pale pink
bikini while embracing pal Taylor Swift.
“Here are photos of me
pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a 🦄
sighting will leave me alone,” she captioned the pics.
“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! Xxb”
Lively and Reynolds, 45,
already share daughters James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2, and have been
outspoken in the past about protecting their children’s privacy.
Celebrities flocked to the comment section to wish the
expecting mother congratulations and show their support for her message.
“U
da best B !” wrote Gigi Hadid, while Rita Wilson said, “Love you, Blake.”
“This
is fantastic,” Gwyneth Paltrow chimed in.
