But it didn’t take a Gossip Girl post to reveal the news: Lively did it herself on _Late Night with Seth Meyers._ “You have a baby at home, and you have a baby on the way, congratulations,” Meyers said. But Lively quickly quipped back: “What makes you say that?… You know you don’t ever say that to a woman.” She gave in, confirming that Meyers was right: “Yes, this is not brownies.” Lively, who earlier this week identified herself and husband Ryan Reynolds as [“breeders,”](http://motto.time.com/4376301/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-breeders/?iid=sr-link1) also joked that she won’t be too overloaded with parenting both children. The couple’s 18-month-old daughter, James, could watch the new baby: “I feel like at a year-and-a-half, she’s equipped to be a babysitter. Like, we can go out and go on date night.” Watch the full interview below: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4380137/blake-lively-pregnancy-ryan-reynolds/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4380137/blake-lively-pregnancy-ryan-reynolds/"},"headline":"Blake Lively Addresses Her Pregnancy: 'This Is Not Brownies'","datePublished":"2016-06-23T18:31:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:02:48.063Z","description":"And she says her 18-month-old daughter is ready to babysit","url":"https://time.com/4380137/blake-lively-pregnancy-ryan-reynolds/","keywords":["motto","Television","movies","celebrities","News"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt56cf54f7a1f1bc9d/6988992a2dce016d8e9e996a/blake-lively-pregnant-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Lasher","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-lasher/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt56cf54f7a1f1bc9d/6988992a2dce016d8e9e996a/blake-lively-pregnant-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"The Shallows\" World Premiere","caption":"Blake Lively attends \"The Shallows\" World Premiere at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 theater on June 21, 2016 in New York City.","creditText":"James Devaney—WireImage/Getty","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4380137/blake-lively-pregnancy-ryan-reynolds/","name":"Blake Lively Addresses Her Pregnancy: 'This Is Not Brownies'"}}]}] ```
