New rumor might explain rush to the altar, if true

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were married in secret a few weeks ago, surprising the world and their fans with how quick they were to decide that they wanted to spend the rest of their life together. A pregnancy might explain this rush.

PageSix reports that “rumors are rife” on the set of Blake Lively’s hit TV show, “Gossip Girl,” that she might be with child, with the obvious implication that this is why she and Ryan married so quickly.

“The blond beauty, back at work in New York after her secret Sept. 9 wedding to Ryan Reynolds, is ‘glowing,’ say spies, but also is eating more than normal,” the celebrity e-zine writes.

An insider claims that Blake, who is always watching what she eats, seems to have foregone the diet and is indulging her every whim.

“Blake is usually really careful about what she eats, but since her wedding, she seems to be eating a lot more. Everyone on set is on bump-watch,” the spy is quoted as saying.

A rep for Blake has already denied the report, calling it “completely untrue” but voices in the blogosphere are pointing out that, with celebrities, there’s never smoke without a fire.

While Blake has never made a secret of dreaming of a large family, that she’s pregnant already remains, for the time being, pure speculation.

“I’ve always wanted a big family. Oh, I’d love 30 [children] if I could,” she said in the October issue of Allure magazine.

Blake and Ryan met on the set of “Green Lantern” but only started dating some months later, after she broke it off with Leonardo DiCaprio.

They have been together for a little over a year, but have only recently gone public with their romance.

This is Ryan’s second marriage and Blake’s first. He was married for two years to another Hollywood stunner, Scarlett Johansson.
