Blake Lively was quick to clarify who her children’s father is after making a statement about her personal trainer on Instagram. As you may know, Lively has tied the knot to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, with whom she has four children. However, Lively risked causing misunderstanding when she appeared to insinuate that her personal trainer was in charge of her four children. Awkward. The 35-year-old posted an Instagram photo of herself exhibiting off her beautiful shape, prompting one fan to wonder, “How have you had 4 kids?” In her response, the Gossip Girl star tagged her personal trainer, Don Saladino.

However, perhaps knowing that the comment may be construed in multiple ways, Lively swiftly followed up with: “Wait a minute. That’s not how it works. He is not the biological father. He’s only the one who assists me fit back into a few of my clothes. He’s a greater person & friend than he is a trainer. This is saying something.” Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively married in 2012 and now have four children: James, 8, Inez, 6, Betty, 3, and a fourth baby born this year. In a poignant address at the American Cinematheque Award ceremony in Los Angeles in November, Lively praised her husband for being a terrific father.
After A Confusing Comment About Her Personal Trainer, Blake Lively Clarified Who Her Husband Is
When the actress and mother-of-four realized she had implied that her children’s father was not her husband of 11 years, Ryan Reynolds, she was ready to clear up any confusion. The amusing discussion in question occurred only hours after Lively posted a seductive swimwear photo on Instagram, in which she wore a cherry-red bikini top, complementing high-waisted bottoms and heart-shaped sunglasses. The actress completed her summer’s appearance by putting her blonde hair into two bunches and swiping on a strong red lip while wearing a yellow-and-white striped towel across her waist to cover her bottom half. While the photo appeared to be nothing out of the norm, Blake clarified when a fan wrote, “How do you manage to raise four kids???,” she responded, tagging her personal trainer, Don Saladino. Lively quickly realized her goof and replied again, explaining, “Wait, no. That’s not how it works. He is not the biological father.
He’s only the individual who helps me fit back into a number of my clothes. He’s a better person and a better friend than a trainer. And that’s saying something.” Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds met on the set of the movie Green Lantern in 2010 before marrying in September 2011 bringing along their four children, James, Inez, Betty, and their newest arrival (the child’s name has yet to be publicly revealed). Last month, Lively updated her fans on what it’s like to raise four children by sharing a very on-brand statement in support of her canned cocktail line, Betty Booze. “These are recipes I’ve been making for family and friends for years,” she wrote with a photo of herself serving the cocktails on a silver dish. “But now I have four children.” And I’m exhausted. So there you have it. In a tin. Enjoy. Responsibly… sort of.” In a heartfelt address at the American Cinematheque Award ceremony in Los Angeles in November, Lively praised her husband for being a terrific father.
