Blake Lively shares extremely rare photo of her and Ryan Reynolds' kid

Blake Lively just shared a rare glimpse of one of her four children, whom she shares with husband Ryan Reynolds.

The Gossip Girl actress, 38, and Deadpool star, 49, are parents to three daughters - James, 11, Inez, nine, Betty, six - and one son, Olin, who's three years old.

Fans of the celebrity couple will know that they are famously private when it comes to their family, and they purposely avoid posting pictures of their kids' faces on the internet, which is a move a lot of famous parents go for these days, in order to protect their little ones' privacy.

Further explaining why they keep them out of the spotlight, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan previously explained: "I try not to impose upon them the difference in their childhood to my childhood or my wife's childhood. We try to give them as normal a life as possible."

Now and then, though, we do catch sight of the family out and about, on a very rare occasion, such as at a Wrexham FC game together - a British football club that the actor co-owns.

And yesterday (Sunday 29 March), Blake even included a picture of one of the children in her Instagram photo dump.

The mother-of-four shared a carousel of images from a recent trip to the UK, which of course included a trip to the family's beloved football ground, as well as a visit to Soho Farmhouse - an exclusive, 100-acre luxury members' club and hotel in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.

Among the snaps was a blurry candid picture of Ryan walking through a garden with one of their little ones propped up on his shoulders.

You can't see their face or tell which of their kids it is, but still, it's definitely a rare insight!

Elsewhere in the Instagram post, Blake shared a slew of pictures from the Wrexham FC stadium in Wales, as the trip centred around a match where the club took on Chelsea.

She also shared photos from their trip to Soho Farmhouse, which included falcon holding and archery. Blake even took the time to visit Great British Bake Off star Prue Leith and was also joined by her sister, Robyn Lively.

Blake wrote in her caption: "So grateful for the best week with my loved ones. Thank you @wrexham_afc and all the players and everyone who works at that stadium for the performance of a lifetime.

"The greatest 10,000 people to share an emotional roller coaster with is in Wrexham."

She added: "Shout out to everyone (like my sweet sister in slide 10) who thinks someone is taking a photo of their cute outfit, when it’s really a video."
