Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are hoping for a boy following news the Gossip Girl star is pregnant for a fourth time.
The couple shared their happy news over the past week - with 35-year-old Blake glowing on the red carpet at an awards ceremony with her bump on display.
The pair share daughters James, seven, Inez, five, and Betty, three, and would now like to add another male to join their New York family home according to an insider.
They told US Weekly: "They are hoping for a boy this time around, but, of course, they just want a healthy baby, no matter the gender."
They added: "They love being parents. The timing is perfect because all of their kids are two years apart so they're keeping with the pattern."
Blake reportedly kept news of her fourth pregnancy completely under wraps - even surprising her pals.
After announcing the big news at Thursday's 10th Annual Forbes Power Women's Summit in New York, a source said: "Even her friends were surprised that she was pregnant again. She kept it very quiet."
They went on to praise the star's attentiveness when it comes to motherhood.
"Her kids are her first priority over everything," the source revealed. "You never would think that Blake Lively, this superstar and beautiful woman would be this regular person who cooks dinner every night and takes care of the family, but she is really wonderful with the kids."
Fans had no idea either that Blake was expecting as there was no sign of a baby bump in a bikini snap she posted on Instagram as recently as August 24.
Forbes published an interview with Blake in May of this year in which she spoke about her three young daughters.
"I think having children for me made me feel so much more in my skin," she said.
"I never felt more myself or at ease in my own body or more confident - not to say that there aren't a bevy of insecurities coming at me a million times a day, but I just feel incredibly settled."
