When it comes to cracking self-effacing jokes, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are tough to beat. That's why we're not surprised to see Blake poking fun at herself and her changing body in a new Instagram post. The actress is currently pregnant with her and Ryan's fourth child.
Blake shared these before-and-after photos of herself on Monday
Though she's typically pretty private about her pregnancies, Blake decided to show off her new curves to her more than 37 million followers. She shared two pictures of herself side-by-side: one pre-pregnancy shot and a more recent one showing off her bare baby belly.
"Been doing Don Saladino's workout program for months now. Something isn't working," she quipped in her caption.
Fans only learned of Blake's pregnancy news in September
The current mother of three delighted attendees of the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women's Summit when she showed up on the red carpet sporting a surprising new accessory: a baby bump. Blake later dropped a few low-key hints that she's expecting, joking during interviews about how she loves creating everything from art to humans.
Since then, she's given her followers very few glimpses of her pregnancy progress
Other than sharing a carousel of photos in mid-September, she's been laying low this pregnancy. It could be because there is so much interest and excitement surrounding the birth of her and Ryan's fourth baby that the paparazzi have become pests about getting photos of a pregnant Blake.
Photographers have been so aggressive that Blake called them out on Instagram
"Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a unicorn sighting will leave me alone," she captioned the series of photos in September.
"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."
Blake may not have too much longer to go before her baby arrives
While neither she nor Ryan has revealed an official due date, we're able to use some of the clues that the couple has provided in interviews to make an educated guess. According to our math, the newest Lively-Reynolds baby should arrive within the next few weeks. Hopefully Blake will share more snaps of her baby bump before the little one gets here.
