Hours after the outing, Lively posted a slideshow of her pregnancy progress via Instagram.
“Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a 🦄sighting will leave me alone,” the “Age of Adaline” star wrote. “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,” she continued. “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.”
In the social media slideshow, the expectant star was all smiles in a cutout swimsuit, a pink bikini, a robe and more maternity looks.
Taylor Swift made a cameo in one of the photos, hugging her pregnant friend by a pool.
