Blake Lively expressed her insecurities in an Instagram story
Blake Lively is the mother of three, James Reynolds, Inez Reynolds and Betty with her husband Ryan Reynolds. She took to her IG stories on Friday, January 29, 2021, and shared how she had to put together an outfit for her appearance on The Tonight Show in January 2020. She wrote, “Because no one had samples that fit me after giving birth," she continued, "And so many clothes from stores didn't fit either. So. Many. It doesn't send a great message to women when their bodies don't fit into what brands have to offer”.
She further wrote how giving birth is a beautiful miracle and she wishes that she felt confident, a year ago. She added, “It's alienating and confusing. And I wish I felt as confident then as I do now, a year later looking back. That body gave me a baby. And was producing that baby's entire food supply. What a beautiful miracle. But instead of feeling proud, I felt insecure. Simply because I didn't fit into clothes. How silly is that in retrospect”.
