‘My Life Has Become More Intimate’: Blake Lively Talks About the Change in Her Life Since She Became a Mother
Blake Lively, who stars in It Ends with Us, speaks about motherhood and how it has transformed her life. At 36 years old, the actress and mother of four—daughters James (9), Inez (7), Betty (4), and son Olin (1)—discusses her experiences in an interview with Vogue.
Motherhood has led Lively to become more selective about her projects. “My life has become more intimate,” she said, reflecting on the changes she’s experienced since becoming a parent. Her daily routine emphasizes that family is her top priority.
During the interview, Lively struggled to keep her kids from running around. “Sitting around with them doing chicken dances while I have a very serious conversation with you is probably the most accurate portrait of me possible,” she remarked.
Author Colleen Hoover praised Lively’s dedication to parenting, as reflected in the film adaptation of Hoover’s book. According to Hoover, Lively’s commitment is evident even when she’s engaged in important conversations. Hoover added, “As a mom, I just really fell in love with that part of her.”
Reynolds’ love for their children matches Lively’s passion for them. In a recent interview with E! News, he joked about wanting more children, saying he’d love to have as many little heartbeats as possible running around and causing chaos in their home.
Lively’s new film, It Ends with Us, premieres on August 9. Her role as a mother and actress continues to inspire many.

Former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee Dies At 80
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, veteran Left leader and former West Bengal Chief Minister, died at his south Kolkata residence this morning. He was 80. He had been unwell for a while and had been suffering from respiratory problems that led to frequent hospitalisations. Last year, he had to be put on life support after he contracted pneumonia. But the veteran CPM leader made a comeback.
He is survived by his wife Meera and son Suchetan.
Mr Bhattacharjee, also a former member of the CPM’s top decision-making body, Politburo, served as Bengal Chief Minister from 2000 to 2011, succeeding Jyoti Basu in the top post. Mr Bhattacharjee led the CPM into the 2011 state polls, when the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress posted a historic win, ending the 34-year Communist rule in the eastern state.
An alumnus of Presidency College, Kolkata, Mr Bhattacharjee was a school teacher before he joined politics full-time. After serving as an MLA and a state minister, he was elevated to Deputy Chief Minister before Mr Basu stepped down in 2000. As Chief Minister, he led the CPM to Assembly poll victories in 2001 and 2006.
During Mr Bhattacharjee’s tenure, the Left Front government adopted a relatively open policy towards business as compared to the Jyoti Basu regime. Ironically, it was this policy and land acquisitions related to industrialisation that paved the way for the Left’s stunning defeat in the 2011 election.
Trinamool Congress, which won just 30 seats in the 2006 elections, led the movement against the Tata Motors plant in Singur. Eventually, in 2008, Ratan Tata decided to shift the project to Gujarat and cited the movement by Ms Banerjee as the reason. This was a big setback to Mr Bhattacharjee’s government. Equally damaging was the violence in Nandigram where police action against a group protesting against land acquisition for a chemical hub project led to 14 deaths.
Ms Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress reaped the political dividends of the anti-incumbency of the Left Front rule and the negative perception about the state government’s land acquisition policies, winning 184 seats in the 2011 election. The Left’s defeat in the 2011 polls started a decline it is yet to recover from. Over the next decade, the BJP overtook it as the main Opposition and the Left now is reduced to a minor force in the state it once ruled unchallenged for decades.
Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose expressed his condolence to Mr Bhattacharjee’s family. In her condolence message, Chief Minister Banerjee said she had a decades-long association with the veteran Left leader. “I am very upset. My condolences to Meera di, Suchetan and to all supporters of CPM.” Leader of the Opposition, BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari, said he is “deeply saddened” by the news and expressed his condolences to Mr Bhattacharjee’s family and admirers.
