These parents-to-be are on the go!

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were each spotted stepping out separately in New York City today. The pregnant star flaunted her growing baby bump in her usual stylish way while leaving her downtown hotel by wearing a curve-hugging Amour Vert's Francoise Stripe T(r)EE Tee with denim jeans, black heeled boots and a bright blue peacoat.

The beautiful mama-to-be seemed to be in good spirits as she flashed a smile at the paparazzi.

Meanwhile, her hunky hubby was spotted earlier in the day, rocking a short-sleeved shirt, vest, cap and very impressive beard (way to keep No Shave November a thing in December, Ryan. We're a fan).

His outing comes at the same time as some exciting news for the future dad. E! News confirmed Reynolds is in talks to land his first post-baby film by reprising his role as Wade "Deadpool" Wilson for a new project.

"Uh... It's Chimichanga Time," the actor tweeted this morning with a photo of a Deadpool portrait made of bullets by artist Mike Oncley.

Although exciting, some fans were anticipating this casting long ago. Fox announced a while back that it had slotted Deadpool for a February 2016 release, and Reynolds, who portrayed the character in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was expected to snag the lead.

Tim Miller is directing the superhero film from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Lauren Shuler Donner and Marvel's Kevin Feige are producing.
