Blake Lively is looking back at her motherhood moments of the year.
“2023 Highlights: pumping at @disneylandparis 🥛 Cheers Remy,” Lively, 36, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, December 30, referring to the Ratatouille animated character.
The former Gossip Girl posed with sister Robyn Lively and mother-in-law Tammy Reynolds in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at the amusement park in France in a few pictures. Blake also snapped a picture with Ratatouille costumed characters. She had her breast pump attached on the waistline of her trousers and a yellow Disney tee shirt.
The news that Blake had given birth to her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds first surfaced in February. The name and sex of their child have not been disclosed in public. In addition, Blake and Ryan, both 47, have three elder daughters: Betty, 3, Inez, 6, and James, 8.
“We’re very excited. Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it,” Ryan quipped during an appearance on CNBC’s Power Lunch in February. “Everybody’s doing great. Everybody’s actually doing fantastic.”

He added at the time: “I think if we hadn’t figured it out by now, I think we’d be in deep, deep trouble. But, yeah, it’s a zoo over here!”
Following her maternity leave, Blake returned to the red carpet for the first time at Michael Kors’ New York Fashion Week presentation in September.
“Only @michaelkors could get me to squeeze into gold sequins way too soon after having a baby. Love you MK✨ ✨,” Blake captioned a second 2023 highlight post on Saturday, sharing behind-the-scenes pics of the NYFW festivities. She jokingly added, “And yes I low-key moonlight as an interior designer but please don’t tell bc I definitely don’t want the world to know that I have a hidden talent which I require external validation on.”
“Thank you 2023 part 1. In no real order,” the Deadpool star captioned a Saturday Instagram carousel of photos with Blake, Wrexham FC co-owner Rob McElhenney, Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy and costar Hugh Jackman. “I got to spend most of the year working and playing with the people I ❤️❤️.”
Ryan also shared an exclusive photo that she took in October of Blake, 51-year-old Robyn, and Taylor Swift in their private suite during the Chiefs vs. Jets football game. (Swift, 34, had invited many of her well-known friends to watch the Chiefs play an away game in New Jersey, where her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, plays.) The 34-year-old Kelce even “liked” Ryan’s social media post.
