Blake Lively Shares Candid Photos of Her Pregnancy While Calling Out Paparazzi

Blake Lively has some choice words for paparazzi hunting for a pregnancy photo.

Three days after confirming her fourth pregnancy, the Gossip Girl alum posted several pics of herself during her pregnancies on Instagram. She paired the slideshow with a message calling out photographers camped outside of her home, writing to the paparazzi, "You freak me and my kids out."

The series of pics include several swimsuit shots, including two where Lively wears a red one-piece featuring a flower-shaped cutout as she lounges poolside with her husband Ryan Reynolds. Other pics show the actress hugging her sister, Robyn Lively, and her bestie, 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. You freak me and my kids out," the Green Lantern actress wrote. "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."

The A Simple Favor actress announced that she was expecting her fourth child with a baby bump reveal at Thursday's 10th annual Forbes Power Women's Summit, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.

For the occasion, where she discussed her non-alcoholic mixer line Betty Buzz, Lively wore a glamorous, long-sleeved sheer minidress with a gold sequined chevron pattern. She accessorized with a white headband, a long white neck scarf, white platform pumps, and gold and sparkling ivory bangle earrings.

Lively and Reynolds, who married in 2012, currently share three daughters: James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2. In an interview with Marie Claire in 2016, the actress explained the struggles of having to shield her children from paparazzi.

"I'd rather not have to deal with it at all, but we knew the lifestyle we were getting into, and while it's hard … it's another thing when it's our child," she told the outlet. "[James] didn't have the opportunity to make a decision about what she wants."
