Pregnant Blake Lively puts her baby bump on display while out with a male friend in New York City

Pregnant Blake Lively showed off her growing baby bump as she rocked a long gray coat as she walked through Manhattan with a friend in New York City on Friday night.

The 35-year-old stylish star, who is expecting her fourth childopted for a casual look, consisting of a black dress, matching boots and a crossbody phone case.

For her night out, she wore her long golden hair in loose waves and appeared cheerful as she gave her boyfriend a sweet hug before parting.

The male companion of the mother of four wore camouflage pants, a black t-shirt and an olive green windbreaker with gray accents.

The actress’ sighting comes after her husband, Ryan Reynolds, revealed that their three children were once completely unaware that their boyfriend Taylor Swift was famous.

The actor, 46, explained that their girls — James, seven, Inez, six, and Betty, three — assumed Swift was just a close family friend who sang for a “hobby.”

It wasn’t until they saw the multi-Grammy winning performer in concert that they fully understood her superstar.

“I think the most exciting thing for them is that for a long time they thought Taylor was like an aunt, like a friend of Mom and Dad who’s very, very close, almost family,” Reynolds said during Sirius XM’s The Jess Cagle Show.

He continued, “And then one day they went to a concert and said, ‘Ohhhhh, this isn’t a hobby.'”

Swift and Lively have been close friends since 2015.

At the time, the Gossip Girl actress had been married to Reynolds for three years and in December 2014 they had welcomed their first daughter James.

Lively would give birth to the couple’s second child, daughter Inez, in September 2016.

Nearly three years later, the married couple secretly welcomed a third daughter named Betty in October 2019, but they didn’t disclose her name publicly at the time.

It wasn’t until the summer of 2020 that Lively and Reynolds gave Swift the honor of revealing their daughter’s name to the world through her song Betty.

The hit was featured on Swift’s eighth studio album Folklore. Fans quickly put the pieces together after hearing the names of the other two daughters of Lively and Reynold in the song.

Swift previously included the children of Hollywood couple ‘It’ in her work in 2017 by using a sample of James’ voice in the intro to her song Gorgeous.

Lively was also in the director’s chair to bring the music video for the Mean singer’s previously unreleased song, I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version), to life in 2021.

Now fully aware of “Aunt” Swift’s status, Reynolds host Jess Cagle told James, Inez, and Betty are huge fans themselves.

They were especially excited about Swift’s latest album Midnights, which was released on Friday, October 21.

And to celebrate the occasion, Reynolds said he planned a “Midnights dance party” with his girls at their rural New York home.

“We’re going straight to the porch where we do a full dance number on Midnights, swearing included,” teased The Amityville Horror actor, adding: “My favorite thing is when a 3-year-old just throws down the F-bomb in a song and has no idea.’

Reynolds and Lively announced in mid-September that they were expecting their fourth child together.

Lively did the honors by confirming her pregnancy in an Instagram post with a photo of her cuddling Swift with her baby bump fully displayed.

When he appeared on Monday’s episode of the TODAY Show, Reynolds admitted he hopes the baby will be a girl.

The star said: ‘I know girls, so I kind of hope so, but I’m ready for whatever.’

Reynolds told the hosts that he and his wife “never find out” the sex of their child before birth.

‘We don’t know the baby’s gender and we’ll never find out ’til [they’re born].

The actor spoke of his upbringing as the youngest of four sons, joking that his siblings were “just arsonists and firefighters” before admitting he was the “ultimate girl father.”
