Lively is fed up with paparazzi outside her home and shared a photo dump of her gorgeous pregnancy pictures with her baby bump visible in a bid to rid them.
The Instagram post featured 10 intimate pictures including one with her friend Taylor Swift, older sister Robyn Lively, and several with her hubby Ryan Reynolds. She is pictured smiling in a red swimsuit in the first photo.
“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,” she declared in the caption.
“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 ?♥️. Much love! Xxb,” Lively concluded.

According to US Weekly, Ryan and Blake who share three daughters are hoping for a baby boy.
“They are hoping for a boy this time around. But, of course, they just want a healthy baby, no matter the gender,” a source said to the outlet.
The Hollywood power couple reportedly “love being parents,” per the source, noting that the pair are seemingly scheduling their pregnancies two years apart.
“The timing is perfect because all of their kids are two years apart so they’re keeping with the pattern,” the source claimed.
