Blake Lively is receiving praise from fans for “making pumping in public more accepted.”


She brought her portable breast pump along to Disneyland.

As 2023 comes to a close, many are reflecting on their cherished moments of the year, and for Blake Lively, that includes a unique experience at Disneyland Paris. The actress recently posted a series of photos from her visit to the theme park on Instagram. Amidst snapshots of her in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle and inside the It’s a Small World ride, Blake shared a relatable image for new mothers, featuring her posing with the Ratatouille cast while carrying an unexpected accessory: a portable breast pump securely clipped onto the pocket of her jeans.

“2023 Highlights: Pumping at @disneylandparis 🥛 Cheers, Remy!” was her caption for the post.

Lively, who welcomed her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds earlier this year, received accolades from her supporters for “making pumping in public a common sight.” In the comments section, one fan applauded the normalization, saying, “Love seeing pumping normalized! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Get it, mama.” Another expressed gratitude to Blake for helping moms feel “at ease and empowered” to “care for their babies wherever they are.”

A third comment playfully remarked, “If you haven’t pumped while waiting in line at Disneyland, what are you even doing?!”

Although Lively and Reynolds haven’t disclosed the gender or name of their latest addition, the couple already has three daughters—James, Inez, and Betty—and Reynolds had expressed his desire for a fourth child. “I have experience with girls, so I’m secretly hoping for that,” Reynolds shared during a November 2022 appearance on the Today show.
