Blake Lively forced to clarify who father of her children is after confusing comment about her personal trainer

Blake Lively was quick to provide clarification on who her children’s dad is after she made a comment about her personal trainer on Instagram.

As you probably know, Lively is married to Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, and the pair share four children.

However, Lively risked confusion after she appeared to suggest that it was her personal trainer who was responsible for her four kids. Awkward.

The 35-year-old shared a snap of herself showing off her enviable physique on Instagram, prompting one fan to ask: “How have you had four kids?”

The Gossip Girl star responded by tagging her personal trainer, Don Saladino.

But seemingly realising the comment could be interpreted in more than one way, Lively quickly followed up by adding: “Wait, no. That's not how. He's not the father. He's just the one who helps me fit into (some of) my clothes again after. He's an even better person and friend than trainer. And that's saying a lot.”

Reynolds and Lively got married in 2012 and are proud parents to James, eight, Inez, six, Betty, three, as well as a fourth child who was born earlier this year.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in April, Reynolds said: “You know, two to three was a huge jump… three to four less so. I cannot speak for my wife, but it’s just from what I’ve observed. But we love it. You know, we would be idiots to do this again if we didn’t love it.”

Lively heaped praise on her husband for being a great dad in a heart-felt speech at the American Cinematheque Award show in Los Angeles back in November.

She said: "With his art, his heart, his philanthropy, his humor, his integrity, his unmatched work ethic, his self-deprecating levity, his hard-earned depths and his grace - so many of those stunning qualities come from his homeland, Canada, and giving back to the country that gave him his life is critical to who he is as a person.”

Lively then went on to speak about the family’s personal life.

"I am his home, and his girls are his home, and just like that 19-year-old boy, he races home," Lively said.

"Whether it's across the globe or a meeting across the street, he is hard-wired to get home. If he came home from set not in his wardrobe, you'd be very concerned. Soaked in mud, fake blood, real blood, prosthetic scars, superhero suits, tap shoes or clown makeup, daddy always comes home."
