A source told US Weekly, ‘They are hoping for a boy this time around. But, of course, they just want a healthy baby, no matter the gender.’

The insider added that the couple ‘love being parents’ and are ready to expand their family.

‘The timing is perfect because all of their kids are two years apart, so they’re keeping with the pattern.’

Blake and Ryan met in early 2010 while working on the movie Green Lantern and started dating in October 2011. They wed in 2012.

In 2020, the bombshell stated she was very content being a mother.

‘I guess I really have to really, really, really, really love it, because I’m just obsessed with my kids,’ Lively explained when asked how she picks her roles during a chat with Harper’s Bazaar.

Reynolds recently shared about his decision to step away from acting for a bit to focus on fatherhood.

Ryan said: ‘The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don’t want to miss this time with my kids. When I’m shooting a film, I’m often times in Europe, I’m away, there are incredibly long hours, it’s a ton of constant, kind of requirement to be there the whole time, not just because I’m performing, but I’m also generally producing and writing on my movies as well.’   

He added: ‘I really enjoy being a present dad. I love taking them to school in the morning; I love picking them up.’
