Blake Lively has been praised by fans for showing off her bikini body weeks after welcoming her fourth child last month.
The 35-year-old mum-of-four gave birth to her baby in February. Although neither she nor her husband Ryan Reynolds, 46, have shared many details about the new arrival, we now have a fresh look into their lives as parents to four kids. They are already parents to James, eight, Inez, six, and Betty, three.
While fans wait to hear more about the couple’s new baby, the Age of Adaline actress shared a new Instagram carousel with pictures form a recent family trip.
In the snaps, the Gossip Girl alum wore a bikini top, with flares and accessories. Another photo showed Blake posing by pool while wearing a black cut-out one-piece swimsuit.

Lively’s mum Elaine and her mother-in-law Tammy Reynolds were also pictured in the carousel.
Blake’s fans were surprised after seeing her new snaps. “Didn’t you just have a baby?!”
While someone else wrote: “And by the way… you look like you never had children… how do you do it?”
Lots of fans were also impressed by how ‘normal’ Blake’s pictures look after welcoming her fourth child.

“Let’s take a moment and appreciate how normal these pictures look. Get it Blake, truly a beautiful person on screen and off,” one follower gushed.
Someone else wrote: “Let’s all [clapping emoji] Blake for being a NORMAL woman! She is not rushing the post baby body aka endorsing quick fix unhealthy routines. Instead, she posts an unfiltered natural [fire emoji] bikini shot! What a great role model for us all!”
The praise continued in the comments section, with another fan writing: “I love these because they are fun. Like my friends would post. Nothing too sexy or suggestive. Hard not to like them both, the politics of the lower league football aside.”

When the couple confirmed the arrival of their fourth bundle of the joy, they kept details about the baby’s name and gender private.
The news was confirmed in the most nonchalant way, with Lively sharing a Super Bowl Sunday post this year with her husband and mother-in-law, without her baby bump.
She confirmed her pregnancy in September at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit, where she joked about her love of ‘creating’ things.

"I just like to create. Whether that's baking or storytelling or businesses or humans, I just really like creating,” she shared.
Although Blake and Ryan do occasionally post pictures of themselves with their children, Reynolds and Lively largely keep their social media channels free of them and let their kids grow up in private.
