While Lily Bloom, the character portrayed by Blake Lively in the 2024 romance drama film It Ends with Us, is shown as pregnant, the actress herself was not expecting at the time of filming.
The 36-year-old star and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, welcomed their son, Olin Reynolds, in 2023, expanding their family to six.
At the 10th annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit, Blake surprised attendees by revealing a baby bump, announcing her pregnancy in style.
Then, on February 12, 2023, during the Super Bowl festivities, Blake subtly confirmed the birth of their fourth child.
Filming for It Ends With Us began later in 2023, likely after Blake had given birth, which suggests that she was postpartum rather than pregnant during the shoot.
However, Blake has experienced working while pregnant before, notably during the filming of The Shallows in 2015.
As with many book adaptations, It Ends With Us faces public skepticism. Yet, despite the usual doubts, the movie has garnered positive reactions from audiences, suggesting it may have succeeded in winning over fans.
