Blake Lively has decided to share a range of photographs of herself with a growing baby bump as she attempts to persuade photographers to leave their perch outside her home.
Taking to Instagram, Blake, 35, shared a sweet carousel with her 35.3 million followers. The collection of snaps showed her beaming in a variety of settings, one showed her and husband Ryan Reynolds, 45, relaxing poolside.
Another showed her cuddled up with her sister Robyn Lively, 50, as she appeared to rest her eyes.
One shot showed Blake in a pink bikini with her bump proudly on show as she shared a hug with popstar Taylor Swift which sent fans into a frenzy.
Although friends and fans alike loved the precious snaps, not everyone was impressed with why Blake felt she has to post.
Blake opened up about 11 photographers waiting outside of her home and making both her and her children uncomfortable, with her hoping the personal pictures would get them to leave her alone.
She wrote: "Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a [unicorn] 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 [prayer hands emoji] [heart emoji]. Much love! Xxb"
The pictures grabbed a lot of attention with the comments quickly being flooded with congratulations to Blake and Ryan over their expanding family.
Victoria Beckham wrote: "Congratulations x kisses from us all".
The Home Edit Instagram account commented: "You are so stunning…. Couldn’t be happier for you guys!!!!!!!"
Reese Witherspoon said: "Last one is [100]! So happy for y'all!"
One fan said: "What adorable photos! Thank you for sharing these intimate moments! You are amazing!"
Fellow celebrities have rushed to the comments to share their support on Blake's No Kids Policy, with the actress famously not giving permission for her children's images to be used in the press.
Nikki Reed said: "Thank you so much for continuing to be vocal about this totally ignored issue. You are not alone in this fight. Big love [heart emoji]"
Blake's sister Robyn wrote: "Makes me angry you have to share such private photos to try and regain your privacy… I love you [heart emoji] and I hope these A-holes back off."
