Over the Forth of July holiday, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were (surprise!) photographed together looking very cozy and affectionate and sun-kissed, like they were a J.Crew ad or something. We didn’t have access to those pics – you can see them there. Some people have a theory that Blake arranges certain photo-ops with a particular paparazzo and/or exclusive photo agency – all I know is that we rarely have access to these super-exclusive photos of Blake and Ryan being all kissy and lovey-dovey. Anyway, I brought up that photo set because some people looked at Blake in her retro one-piece swimsuit and thought “Preggo.” The alternate theory, I suppose, is that Blake never works out and it’s starting to catch up to her thighs and hips a little bit (no disrespect – she does seem to have put on a little weight, but she’s still got an incredible figure). Now Star Magazine has another theory – Blake isn’t pregnant… YET. But she will be soon, and she’s already begun to put on weight in anticipation of the conception…?
Blake Lively, 24, has told friends that she purposely put on 10 pounds so she could have a baby as soon as possible with her sexy squeeze, Ryan Reynolds, 35.
“She and Ryan are ready to go for it, even without a wedding,” an insider says. “Ryan has been aching to start a family, so this is his dream come true.”
In fact, one of the reasons he and Scarlett Johansson got divorced was because she wasn’t at all interested in having children. Now he has a partner who’s on the same page.
“They told friends they want lots of children and are ready to get started,” the spy says. “She’s even given up alcohol already.”
Their families are also on board – “Everyone sees a wedding and kids in their near future. Blake wants to be a mom by next year.”

When I gave up drinking, I began to lose weight, so I don’t know what’s going on with Blake and her “I gave up alcohol and put on 10 pounds” thing. I think it’s more likely that Ryan and Blake spend their days eating and cooking and boning, and Blake has put on a few “I’m in a good relationship” pounds. Blake is so retro – would she get pregnant without the ring? Isn’t she too old-fashioned for that? Or would she use a pregnancy to get Ryan to give her a ring?

‘She purposely put on 10 pounds so she could have a baby as soon as possible’?? What, was she too skinny too menstruate or something? I don’t believe that, she’s always looked healthy. This is just a dumb story. Also, wasn’t she drinking wine on some of the lovey-dovey-swimsuit pics?
I hope these stories won’t lead her to lose that weight again because she looks great with the extra pounds. She still looks super skinny anyway. I guess those are “love-pounds” you gain when you are with someone new and happy.
+1
She looks fine, people. Reminds me of the stories people have been running about Mila’s weight gain. For all we know the *FEW* extra lbs could be from birth control or the monthlies.
Meh….she is so mediocre looking and acting….bleh
I couldn’t agree more. I just don’t get the fascination. Sure she is a pretty girl, but pretty girls are a dime a dozen. Perhaps because she is tall and quite slender. As for the acting, “meh” seems to some it up.
I don’t really see those 10 pounds. She still has a killer body.
She looks great. And happy.
I think it’s just a very bad bathing suit. She might have gained 5 lbs at most.
This.
I saw the bikini pic and she looked great to me. My guess is that she was on her period. Take a look at her arms! They were thin while she belly looked bloated.
Baxter!! So good to see you again, how have you been, love? Rrwoof.
Meh, it’s probably just a mix between new relationship glees and her age. I continued to go through visible body changes from 18-26, especially around the butt, hips and thigh area, and hear a lot of women do.
Yeah I believe your theory about the relationship weight more than anything else. She is looking a little less toned, for instance her arms show less muscle. That happened to me too in my mid-twenties, before I had skinnyminny muscular arms and slowly around 25 y.o. they got a little ‘insulation’. She looks great though, good for her that she’s happy in her relationship. Nothing newsworthy here.
What is the appeal of her face???
+1
Even with the nose job! Don’t get it at all.
+2
She’s just a cleaner Ke$ha
Well, if she actually IS pregnant? I sure hope RR mans up and puts a ring on it. I am SOOOO sick of Hollywood “baby mamas” and narcissistic celebs who are not committed to each other endlessly bringing innocent children into the world.
Sorry- call me old school, but at my age and with my background…there is a word for these poor kids with no legal fathers. Please don’t make me say it. 🙁
Whatever man signed the birth certificate is considered the legal father
@ Genevieve: It’s not just limited to celebs-a lot of people have kids out of wedlock.
I personally believe that marriage is a rather dated institution and I don’t fault the Brangies of the world who had children without being married. That being said, I think it’s ideal to have two parents involved. Not only to help with the parental responsibilities but to provide a balance of role models. This can also include same-gender marriages-the point being that even if it’s 2 moms or 2 dads, that each partner brings something to the table.
OKitten…
I’m sure I have what’s considered “dated” thinking, especially for someone who grew up without quite the taint of illegitimacy of my parents generation…but, hey…you feel what you feel.
To each his own.
I think it’s better that two people who choose to procreate regardless of their sexuality or relationship commit to being loving parents who care about their kids rather than conform to some outdated and many times false concept of what a traditional ‘happy’ family is.
You said it much more succinctly than I did. But yeah- +1.
+2.
While I agree that celebs shouldn’t have babies only for publicity, it’s simply NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS whether anyone is married or not.
Go back to the 1930s and have fun there without any rights!
“…there is a word for these poor kids with no legal fathers…”??
I’m speechless.
That was the worst part! Judging children for having unwed parents is just cruel.
If they love each other, I see nothing wrong with starting a family,
Blake is lucky she’s samll boned. For someone so tall her shoulder and wrists are small so she likely wont ever have bread arms. (no hate I am 5’6 with broad shoulders and always envy people with smaller ones tis all)
I think the story is BS. But as Joan Rivers said on Fashion Police in the pics they looked like “two sex symbols walking around their tralier while their meth was cooking”
They are both out-of-shape
In some of the pics you can see Ryan in a wife beater with (gasp!) love handles.(unless they were empathy cravings lol)
My guess is they’ve spent the summer both eating themselves into a stupor.
A week in the gym should cure that
I did like the fact that 2 days after those pics we had Scarlett looking sexy on an Itlian yacht in a white bikini with some relic meathead wrestler look alike from the 80’s as counter (I’m soo conspiracy minded)LMAO
Both of these people are in good shape, if you can take a photo and look like that,FAT is not an acurate discription, besides, Bobby Strom has the equipment right outside their door just waiting until dinner is over. This is how they make their living, I don’t think they would just go to pot. But it is good for her that Ryan is not obsessed with super thin women. He likes meat on his bones.
Blake, Blake, Blake get someone your own age. Reynolds is too old for you.
More like: Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, get someone your own age. Lively is too young for you.
More like: Blake Blake Blake take acting lessons and learn how to pronounce clearly.
Well for someone who can’t act or speak properly she’s certainly gone a long way.
The age factor is not huge for them. Lots of women marry men that are older and mentally women mature much earlier than men. This is not just conducive to Hollywood. If you look around your own family and friends you will find this is very common.
The girl is in love and is eating. Leave her alone.
She looks fine. And as others have said, happy. From the twitter sightings, it’s clear that she and Ryan do a LOT of eating. They’re always in some restaurant or eatery someplace, trying out good food. They’re big foodies and why not? Give the gym a break and live a little. It was their summer off and they traveled and ate and boned the whole time. Sounds great to me.
Pregnancy would explain why she seems incapable of keeping up with her roots.
I remember when I had a figure like that when I was young, I didn’t work out either, then I had a buddha baby and I’ve never been the same. It catches up with you but it will give you a hard landing after having a kid. Now I have the middle age spread and I kill myself at the gym. I hope she begins a healthy regiment before become impregnated…wish I had…time is a cruel b!tch.
Maybe she’s just eating some of her own cooking…
She doesn’t look like she’s gained any weight to me, she looks great.
I really hate her as an actress, but as a woman . . . to talk about her weight and make it seem like she’s gaining weight to become pregnant is dumb. She’s 24 and her metabolism is slowing down. She’s not a little kid anymore and she’s in a relationship . . .no more no less. She’s not a fat ass by all means, so we should leave her alone.
