Blake Livelyis welcoming herSisterhood of the Traveling PantscostarAmber Tamblyninto the mom club after the 33-year-oldannounced her pregnancyon Wednesday.
“So proud of my dear friend, and new mama to be, @amberrosetamblyn,” Lively, 29, wrote. “Whatever your beliefs, one thing is certain, the world must be a better, safer place for women and girls.”
Tamblyn, now married toArrested Developmentactor David Cross, wrote about a discussion she had with her mother about the traumatizing experience and how her mother had gone through something similar.
“Motherhood has been heavily on my mind because I am going to be a mother soon,” writes Tamblyn. “I’m pregnant, with a daughter on the way. I think constantly about the world I am bringing her into. Will I get a phone call from my daughter someday, one she never wanted to make? Will I haveto share with hermy story, and the story of her great-grandmother’s words to her grandmother?”
Tamblyn’s grandmother’s response to her mother’s sexual assault was “Boys will be boys” — a statement passed down for generations that the actress is standing up against today.
TheDjango Unchainedactress wed Cross, 52, in 2012 after a five-year courtship andAugust 2011 engagement. This is the first marriage, and first child, for both.
