Blake Lively has shared stunning new pregnancy photos, as she slammed the paparazzi.
Earlier this week, the Gossip Girl star announced she is expecting her fourth child with her husband Ryan Reynolds by debuting her baby bump at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit.
The 35-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday night to share a series of pregnancy snaps, as she hit out at the invasive paparazzi who follow her.
The actress wrote: “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.”
“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”

Blake and Ryan, who tied the knot in September 2012, are already parents three daughters – James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 3.
This is not the first time Blake has slammed the paparazzi for photographing her young children.
Last July, the A Simple Favour star opened up about a “frightening” incident where her children were “stalked” by paparazzi New York City.
After a tabloid published paparazzi photos of her and her daughters, Blake wrote on Instagram: “You edit together these images together to look like I’m happily waving. But that is deceitful.”
“The real story is: My children were being stalked by a men [sic] all day. Jumping out. And then hiding. A stranger on the street got into words with them because it was so upsetting for her to see.”
Blake said she tried to “calmly approach” the photographer to speak to him, but claimed he would “run away” before reappearing to take more photos.
The mother-of-three continued: “Do you do background checks on the photographs you pay to stalk children? Where is your morality here? I would like to know. Or do you simply not care about the safety of children?”
Blake then said she spoke to other members of the paparazzi, who agreed to leave her kids alone if she posed for some photos on her own.
Describing the incident as “frightening,” Blake asked the outlet to “tell the whole story.”
She added: “At minimum, listen to your followers. They too understand this is dark and upsetting that you pay people to stalk children.”
“Please stop paying grown ass men to hide and hunt children. There are plenty of pictures you could’ve published without the kids. Please delete. C’mon. Get with the times.”
