Blake Lively's Pregnancy Glow Can't Cover Up Her Workout Struggles

While pregnancy looks great on Blake Lively, and there is no doubt that she is doing great while preparing for her baby's arrival, one can't say the same for her workout routine. The star actress joked about how her routine wasn't yielding results as her bump grew bigger. She shared a photo collage on Instagram, displaying the difference in her pre-baby and pregnancy body. Both of Lively's photos were taken in a similar fashion such that she rocked a two-piece gym wear in both snaps.

The mom-of-three slipped her figure into a sports bra and a pair of leggings in one snap. The second one featured her sports bra paired with baggy sweatpants. However in both snaps, Lively posed with her trainer, Don Saladino. She also rocked grey-colored Nike sneakers.

The A Simple Favor actress posed with one hand on Saladino's shoulder while she arched one hip and place the other on her tiny waist. Lively's first photo featured her slim graceful limbs and flat tummy. The other collaged photo was a sharp contrast featuring her large baby bump. The Shallow star maintained the same pose while sharing a sweet smile. She hilariously captioned:

Fans became privy to Lively's pregnancy back in September 2022 when she attended the 10th Annual Forbes Women's Summit In New York. At the time, she rocked a fashionable maternity look in a sequined mini dress from Valentino. She spiced the look with a pair of chunky platform heels. Lively sleeked her ombre blonde hair back with a headband while rocking a tiny scarf around her neck.

When the new baby arrives, Lively and her spouse Ryan Reynolds will be parents for the fourth time. The couple has three daughters, James, Inez, and Betty.

Speaking about the unborn baby, the Hitman's Bodyguard actor said that he hoped they welcome a baby girl. He and Lively already have three daughters and he felt it was only right that they welcomed another baby girl. Ryan stated, "I know girls. so I'm kind of hoping for that." Presently, the baby's gender is unknown due to the couple's tradition of keeping mom about their babies' genders.

Ryan gushed about how their lovely family stepped up to give proper care to Lively as she carried their fourth baby. He made it known that he and their daughters rallied around his beloved wife. The Red Notice actor revealed this at the 36th Annual American Cinematheque Awards in November 2022. The celebrity dad relayed, "It's not just me. It's our kids, too. We all rally around her and help her where we can and do romantic things for her."

Ryan and Lively's daughters have a doting aunt in music sensation Taylor Swift and it is safe to that that it's a big flex. It's no doubt that Swift is smitten by the girls and fans got to see her display it. The Grammy-winning singer featured the girls' names in her songs over the years.

After Swift released her tenth studio album, "Midnights," fans speculated that she hinted at the couple's fourth baby's name. In You're on Your Own, Kid, which is off the album, Swift referenced the name Daisy May, and fans thought that was the clue. However, Ryan and his wife did not confirm this.

Since beginning his acting sabbatical in October 2021, the 46-year-old actor has been spending more time with his daughters and he has shared that he enjoys being "a present dad." The Free Guy star relayed that he enjoyed taking them to school in the morning and picking them up later in the day.

While it's clear Ryan is having fun at his job as a dad, he has admitted it gets tough sometimes. The star noted once relayed that he has moments where he would snap, but made sure to fix it.

In a 2012 interview with Allure, Lively, 35, made it known that she always wanted a big family, and as she became a family woman, the actress became more selective of the movie roles she took. This she did, for the sake of her children.
