On the 25th of August, Blake Lively gracefully stepped into her 36th year, all while juggling the role of a mother to four children. It is a wonder how she manages to radiate youthful energy, earning compliments. Yet, beyond her status as a stunning mother, Lively is a master of privacy, especially when it concerns her children. This is strikingly evident in her decision to keep the gender of her fourth baby with Ryan Reynolds a secret.

Amidst her penchant for privacy, Lively offered a glimpse behind the curtain as she responded to a heartfelt birthday message. In her reply, she touched upon the intricacies of co-parenting, and surprisingly, the focus was not on her husband.

The captivating chemistry that Lively and Reynolds share extends beyond the screens into their real lives. In a delightful twist, she stepped into the limelight to unveil her profound connection with her closest friend, Gigi Hadid. Hadid took a nostalgic trip down memory lane on her Instagram, sharing a throwback snapshot that featured Lively sporting a noticeable baby bump. Responding to Hadid’s heartfelt birthday wishes, Lively playfully alluded to her own children and amusingly hinted at her co-parenting partner.

With a whimsical touch, she wrote, “Pretty sure this pic is before her (our) baby number 1, but I just love it because I still feel like the baby of the group.” Gigi Hadid’s post harks back to the period when both were navigating the journey of pregnancy simultaneously. Concluding her reply to Hadid’s message, the mother to four added an affectionate note, signing off as “Love you mama, sister, friend.” This beautifully mirrors their strong connection and the moments they’ve shared.

But little did anyone suspect that Taylor Swift, who holds a deep connection with Lively’s children, played the role of the spark that ignited this wonderful friendship between the two models.

Whereas, Hadid and Swift have been friends for over a decade now.

Beyond her matchmaking role, Swift’s connection with Lively’s fourth child has given rise to intriguing theories. While the baby’s gender and name remain undisclosed, fans speculate Swift hinted at the child’s name in her song ‘You Are on Your Own Kid’. The lyrics “I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May” have fueled these speculations. Adding to the intrigue, Swift confirmed the names of Lively’s first three children in her 2021 album ‘Folklore’.
