Actress Blake Lively revealed the unconventional theme of her son Olin’s first birthday cake, which she joked would “haunt him for life”.
The actress has been facing controversies as she promotes her new romantic drama film.
Stories of a behind-the-scenes feud have surfaced, and her media appearances have sparked criticism.
Shrugging off the drama, Blake shared a family story that raised eyebrows during a recent interview.
She spilled a surprising detail from the birthday celebration she and her husband Ryan Reynolds threw for Olin.

“My birthday cakes always have a little bit of a sense of humor. For my baby, I just did a giant set of bosoms, which I feel like will haunt him for life,” she said drily.
“But what do they want at one?” the mother of four argued. “Like, he can’t declare what he wants, so bosoms!”
She promised host Zoe Ball: “I’ll show you a picture after. They’re pretty amazing. Of the cake, not of mine! Also amazing, though.”
Ryan and Blake have been married since 2012 and share four children – daughters James, nine, Inez, and Betty, four, and son Olin, one.
They announced their new baby’s arrival in February 2023, but waited until last month to announce that they had chosen the name Olin.
The Hollywood couple were mocked on social media for the “weird” selection – a Nordic name that refers to the heir to an ancestor.
Blake has been plagued with scandals as she promotes her new movie, which has emerged as a box office smash.
Based on a 2016 romance novel, the motion picture stars Blake as a florist called Lily Blossom Bloom, whose marriage to a man called Ryle Kincaid goes from passionate to abusive.

Her life becomes even more complicated when her old flame Atlas arrives on the scene, reigniting her dormant feelings for him.
Blake’s publicity appearances in support of the film have caused an online furor, with social media commentators branding her a “tone deaf” “diva”.
She was blasted for a giggly, “shallow” interview she conducted with her co-stars, in which they neglected to discuss the topic of abuse.
In addition to starring in the movie, Blake is also one of the producers – and is reported to have feuded with her co-star and director.

Rumors of a rift began swirling after the movie’s New York premiere, where Blake and her co-star did not pose for pictures together despite being the two main leads.
Pouring fuel on the fire, Blake has refrained from doing media appearances with her co-star to plug the film, despite giving interviews with other co-stars.
An insider informed that Blake and her co-star clashed over their creative differences on how to handle the domestic violence issue.
The source said her co-star focused on “what he believed was the abusive male viewpoint” and adopted a “chauvinistic” stance to the subject matter, while neglecting to “consider Blake’s character’s perspective” on the scenes.
“Her co-star almost became the character in the sense that some women on set felt he was borderline abusive to them and that he was unprofessional and unapologetic. Directing a film so serious and so important about domestic abuse without allowing the women to be included in this process is disturbing.”
