Blake Lively is living a happy married life with her doting husband, Ryan Reynolds. The duo is now parents to four kids and their life is simply fans can’t help but adore. Though they are happy to enjoy parenthood, the actress was not all good after giving birth to her third daughter. She has always been praised for her post-pregnancy look however it somehow didn’t help her in getting rid of her body insecurities.
She opened up about her insecurities after giving birth to her third child, Betty Reynolds. Back in 2021, the actress took to Instagram to confess about being different inside.
Blake Lively Got Candid About Her Body Insecurities
The 35-year-old actress is a proud mother of four kids. However, it still was difficult for her to cope with the body insecurity she felt when she gave birth to her third daughter, Betty in 2019. She had difficulty adjusting to the post-pregnancy look which she revealed in a series of posts on her Instagram story.
In one post, Blake Lively talked about having problems getting the right outfits when she made an appearance in public.
Sharing a picture of her wearing a black dress during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in January 2020, she wrote,
“I put together a @lavinoffical shirt and dress from @netaporter to make this pretty outfit. Because no one had samples that fit me after giving birth. And so many clothes from stores didn’t fit either. So Many.”
She continued to write,
“It doesn’t send a great message to women when their bodies don’t fit into what brands have to offer. It’s alienating and confusing.And I wish I felt as confident then as I do now, a year later looking back.”
She eventually recognized that she had to feel proud of herself rather than feeling insecure.
“That body gave me a baby. And was producing that baby’s entire food supply. What a beautiful miracle. But instead of feeling proud, I felt insecure. Simply because I didn’t fit into clothes. How silly is that in retrospect.”
In conclusion, she gave a shoutout to “@Katiesturino and others” who are doing their best to help women in accepting their bodies and challenge brands to do much better in providing various options for post-baby body looks.
The Lively-Reynolds is Now a Family of Six!
The Gossip Girl alum and the Deadpool actor haven’t shared any pictures of the new member of their family. However, during her Super Bowl appearance in February this year, it was revealed that she no longer has a baby bump.
While all the kids were not ready when Betty entered into their family as Lively shared at the time that her second daughter, Inez was “not so much” into Betty in the start making their lives “a bit of a tough adjustment in our house, but it’s good.” However, this time, the trio already are ready for a newcomer. “They’re in. They love it, they’re ready,” the couple told Entertainment Tonight.
Reynolds and Lively have been together since 2010 and tied the knot in 2012.
