The actress didn't announce her pregnancy to Marie Claire, but she did hint about big baby plans in her future — and even joked she wanted 30 kids of her own. "I gotta get started. If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would," she said.
The actress, who looks to be in her second trimester, gushed that Reynolds is her best friend.
"We've never gone a week without seeing each other. There's no major decision that I make without him. The best part is when we turn off our phones and just talk and hang out. He's my best, best friend. What do you do with your best friend? You do nothing," she said.
Lively has already started nesting — and has even picked out some adorable Southern baby names that you can read all about here.

The actress admitted she was "completely stumped" over baby names, but she feels like she and Shepard have finally found the perfect name.
"We had a little bit of a breakthrough. We've settled on one, thankfully," she told People. "It's a lot of pressure, especially because we felt 'Lincoln' was so perfect."
The House of Lies actress also shared her reaction when Shepard came home with a bell-shaped tattoo on his wedding finger.
"It was surprising. He just came home with a Band-Aid on his finger one day. Those are the kinds of surprises I get at home," she said. "And people wonder why I keep letting him knock me up."
