Blake Lively pregnant with first child

Hollywood star couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who tied the knot in 2012, are expecting their first child together. The 27-year-old former Gossip Girl actress announced her pregnancy news by posting a picture of herself showing off her baby bump on her Preserve lifestyle website, reported US magazine.

In the snap, Lively is shown cradling her bulging belly, while she dedicated the latest installment in her web project to expectant mothers and family.
