During a Tuesday appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael, new mom Blake Lively opened up about family life with husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, and their 4-month-old daughter James.
“I did have a baby, yes! A little girl,” the Age of Adaline actress, 27, said when asked about welcoming her first child.
The Gossip Girl alum looked lovely in a print Preserve.us jumpsuit, Charlotte Olympia heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
When asked how motherhood has changed her life, the actress replied, “Oh, gosh! Well this, first of all, has changed,” Blake said, pointing to her body.
“Everything is different,” she added. “You see a balcony and you’re like, ‘Oh, my God! The hotel needs to demolish this balcony because my child can’t go anywhere near it.’ Everything is just so much more heightened. We’re crying all the time for no reason.”
Not to mention the sleep deprivation. “I slept two hours last night,” Blake added.
“The last time when Ryan was here, he smelled like baby powder. He was knee-deep in being a dad,” Michael said. The actress laughed and said, “Now he just smells like poop…he’s in full diaper duty. [He] likes the big ones, because they’re easier, so her diapers are like up to her chest.”
When asked who baby James resembles most, Blake joked, “I think she looks like her daddy. I want a maternity test!”
The actress, whose mom was in the audience, went on to share one of her favorite childhood memories.
“She would always take me out of school and take me to Disneyland, which is really ill advised. I know! It was terrible,” she laughed. “She was like, ‘It’s a landscaping lesson.’ But it was really neat because to see people’s imaginations like that, it did open your mind. I don’t know. I’m trying to justify going to Disneyland!”
