Married to Ryan Reynolds and mother of four daughters, the actress poses at Disneyland Paris, alongside the characters from Ratatouille. A photo that puts an end to controversies over breastfeeding in public.
Mother of four girls (James, 9 years old, Inez, 7 years old, Betty, 4 years old and a youngest born on February 12, 2023), Blake Lively is delighted to have such a large family with her husband Ryan Reynolds. “It’s something I’ve always wanted since I was little. I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life, but I knew I wanted to have lots of children because I come from a big family and that has always been important to me.”explained the actress to U.S. Weekly.
However, Ryan Reynolds’ wife recognizes that her life as a mother is not always easy, because she has always breastfed her children, which requires great talents in terms of organization. “I am a very possessive mother. I believe that breastfeeding your child further strengthens this bond between a mother and her baby. Fortunately I have a job that allows me to take my child to my workplace. Between two scenes, I can always take care of my daughter and it’s a real privilege“, Blake Lively confided to femina.fr after the birth of her second child.
Since then, this woman of character, who combines her professional career and her family life, has learned to be ingenious and no longer hides what makes her daily life as a mother easier! This December 31, during a stay at Disneyland Paris with her mother Robyn Lively and her mother-in-law, Tammy Stewart Reynolds, the actress took selfies in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle and with the characters from Ratatouille, with the pump of his breast pump hanging from his jeans! “Highlights of 2023: expressing my milk at Disneyland Paris. Cheers, Rémy“, she wrote in the caption of the photos published on Instagram.
The actress thus intends to show that she wants to continue breastfeeding her youngest, 11 months after her birth, and to relieve all the young mothers who make this choice, but who do not dare to say it loud and clear! Blake Lively thus trivializes breastfeeding in public while in July 2021, a young mother was asked by park security agents to stop breastfeeding her child while she was on a public bench. This is not the first time that she has discussed her breast pump without taboos: last May, she justified her absence during the famous MET gala by publishing a photo of herself in her bathroom expressing her breast milk!
