Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have welcomed their first baby together

Blake announced her pregnancy on her lifestyle website Preserve, and soon after started showcasing her maternity style in a series of outfits that emphasised her blossoming tummy.

Both Blake and Ryan have spoken of their excitement at the prospect of becoming parents. "I'm good with diapers and all that kind of stuff because I have lots of nieces and nephews, so I've done it all before," Ryan, 38, recently said. "I'm just excited about having a buddy." Blake has echoed his sentiments. "I came from a big family, a big family of Southerners," the former Gossip Girl star revealed. "I'm the youngest of five, so I never raised any siblings below me, but I'm always the person who's taking everyone else's kid and putting them on my hip, so I've kinda always been a mama."
