She also thanked her followers who continue to support her by unfollowing media publications that share photos of children.

The star has long defended her three young daughters' privacy.

She has previously shared a \"frightening\" experience where she said a man would not stop \"stalking\" her children and taking photos.

Lively issued a demand to media outlets asking them to stop paying photographers to \"hide and hunt children.\" The star also requested background checks on photographers and said, \"Do you simply not care about the safety of children?\"

The actress, who hasn't appeared on screen since 2020, made her directorial debut for Taylor Swift's \"I Bet You Think About Me\" music video in 2021.

She opened up to Forbes in May that having kids made her realize her \"time was even more precious.\"

\"Family is at the root of everything that I do and it's also at the root of everything that I create,\" she said. \"I want to be in films, I want to make films, I want to author films that I would be proud for my children to see. Even the gowns I wear -- I just want my kids to be proud.\"
