Blake Lively Says She Baked Son Olin a Boob Cake for His 1st Birthday

As a mother of two beautiful children, I can wholeheartedly relate to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ heartwarming experiences with parenthood. Their words resonate deeply within me as I too have found myself wide awake at odd hours, grinning from ear to ear, overwhelmed by the simple yet profound beauty of my children’s existence.


Blake Lively’s not a regular mom.

The actress from “It Ends With Us” (who has children James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and Olin born in 2023 with husband Ryan Reynolds) recently discussed the unique birthday cake she made for her son’s special occasion.

She mentioned that her birthday cakes often have a playful touch. For her baby’s cake, she made an oversized pair of boobs, which she later shared on Instagram during the Zoe Ball and Friends show on BBC Radio 2. She joked that this design might give him nightmares for years to come.

Nevertheless, Blake remains firm with her decision, explaining that she was merely providing her son with one of his beloved items.

“But what do they want at 1?” she quipped. “Like, he can’t declare what he wants, so boobs.”

There’s some uncertainty about whether this interview occurred prior to the controversy surrounding the Gossip Girl star’s upcoming movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s popular novel.

There’s been a lot of talk suggesting potential conflicts behind the scenes between Blake and director/co-star Justin Baldoni from “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”, as fans have observed that no one in the cast follows Justin on social media, and he seems to be doing interviews separately.

Critics have also pointed out that Blake’s promotional tactics for the movie, which deals with a serious topic like domestic violence, appear to be rather playful or carefree.

In the midst of the ongoing discussions, Brandon Sklenar, who plays a role in “It Ends With Us”, stepped forward to advocate for the female characters in the movie.

“He stated on Instagram on August 20th that criticizing women who invest their heart and soul into this movie due to their strong belief in its message seems contradictory and takes away from the film’s essence. In truth, it goes against the very idea the film represents.”

Moreover, he advised avoiding speculation about potential off-screen events and instead concentrating on the motivations behind creating the movie. He expressed his disappointment at the prevalence of negative sentiments circulating on the internet.

Regarding Blake’s motherhood, those who know her best have recently commended her strong maternal instincts and capabilities.

In the September issue of Vogue, Colleen mentioned, “She might be on a call with anyone, even the Pope himself, but if her child enters the room, she will focus all her energy on them. This aspect of her really resonated with me as a mother.”

At the same time, director Paul Feig of the film “A Simple Favor” had nothing but high compliments for Blake, stating that she is “one of the most exceptional mothers I’ve ever come across.”

“I have seen Frozen with my daughters so, so many times and people don’t know this, but if you play Frozen backwards, it’s actually a shot for shot remake of The Exorcist,” Reynolds joked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2018.

On December 15, 2016, for the first time, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively presented their daughters, James and Inez, at Ryan’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony. This is a typical venue for private celebrities to introduce their children to the world. In his speech, Reynolds expressed his gratitude towards his wife, saying “You improve everything in my life – absolutely everything. You’ve given us two remarkable children that I could only dream of having. You’ve turned me into the father I always wanted to be, even when I thought I was only capable of being a fun uncle.”

Back in August 2016, just prior to the arrival of their second daughter, Reynolds shared with TopMob News that nothing on this planet is as humbling as having a baby. He expressed that it was the most wonderful experience anyone could ever have.

Reflecting on a past appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2015, I fondly reminisced about my cherished family life. Speaking candidly, I expressed the profound love I hold for my wife and daughter. In no uncertain terms, if called upon, I would lay down my life for her – a sentiment I have often shared with my spouse. The instant I gazed into my child’s eyes for the first time, I recognized that in any potential danger, I would employ my wife as a protective barrier to safeguard our little one.

Keeping in line with his witty style of humor, Reynolds playfully shared this parenting joke with his Twitter audience back in 2016: “Being a father brings the most incredible feeling on Earth. Except for those delightful years I spent without a child, of course.”

Back in 2016 on NBC’s Today show, I proudly declared, “I’m the one who takes care of business, and I don’t mind it one bit! It seems she shares this trait, but what sets me apart is my eagerness for late-night duties. You know, the grunt work that needs to be done. I relish in it!”

Fatherhood, he said, has been “amazing.”

2016 saw me experiencing one of those exceptional mornings, where my little girl clung to me, reluctant for me to depart—all because Mom was still sleeping. It felt like I couldn’t bear to leave; it was as if a piece of my heart had been torn out.

In 2016, I found myself watching the Super Bowl with my family, and there was a moment that took me by surprise. My daughter, who was quite young at the time, spotted something unusual on the screen – it was me, or rather, multiple versions of me. Twelve to be exact. It was like a surreal sight to her, as if she had stumbled upon 24 superfluous milk cows. Her response was nonchalant, typical of a child who has yet to fully grasp the concept of fame. “Eh, whatever,” she said, showing little to no enthusiasm for my television debut. It was a humbling reminder that even in the midst of what may seem like a grand spectacle, the people closest to us often see us for who we truly are – just regular folks trying to make our way through life.

2016 saw Ryan jokingly tell his Twitter audience about his anxiety when he took his baby girl somewhere on her own for the first time, admitting he was a wreck dropping her off at Burning Man.

2015 saw the proud father excitedly sharing, “She’s fantastic!”, hinting at whether their sole child, James, had begun to talk. However, they were only getting various sounds, not yet any understandable English phrases at that time. He jokingly teased her, saying he was often making fun of her for it.

In a post on Instagram back in 2015, Blake Lively expressed her deep conviction that Van City Reynolds was their baby’s father, writing, “Ever since our child was born, I’ve felt it strongly in my heart.” She also added, “#ILoveYouSoMuchIt’sSilly.”

2016 saw Blake Lively remark that raising a child is like constantly experiencing the unforeseen. One moment you could be dealing with a mess, the next you might receive a heartwarming smile – which could just as quickly turn into tears. It’s similar to sharing a life with an unpredictable addict. Yet, when you have a baby, you can’t envision ever being without one. If I could, I’d be an elderly woman still cradling an infant, Lively humorously added.

In 2015, Lively expressed that it was the most exceptional, stating, “Family is what unites us all. Regardless of our diverse professions, we are all connected through our families. It’s quite heartwarming.”

On Father’s Day in 2015, I was blessed with a priceless moment – my daughter gave me a radiant smile. This simple gesture was more than enough as I prepared to embark on a six-year journey, writing a comprehensive guide on parenthood and setting off to gather its insights.

He shared with TopMob News during the promotion of the film “Woman in Gold” in 2015 that there were instances where he woke up without realizing he had been walking for five minutes.

“Yet, it seems you adore it deeply. Even in the dead of night, it brings out a broad, perhaps foolish grin on your face. I mentioned this to someone else earlier. Normally, anything disrupting your sleep every 45 minutes would be met with frustration. However, when it comes to a baby, it’s the most wonderful thing that has ever entered your life.”

In everyday language, Reynolds humorously commented in 2016: “One of the most ordinary sequences is kissing, having a few drinks, then continuing with that and eventually having a child. But for this particular occasion, I was completely sober.”

“I find it fascinating – both ordinary and deeply significant at the same time. It often makes me chuckle, you know, like when certain celebrities discuss their children. I can’t help but cringe, as if every child born was the first to leave a womb.”

In 2015, Reynolds expressed his feelings about James, saying, “Many have done this before, but I must add a touch of modesty. Yet, I adore him immensely.” He continued, “I am truly in awe of that child. It’s almost ridiculous how much she has me wrapped around her little finger. She says ‘Dada,’ and I would walk through a solid wall to be with her.”
