A lip reader revealed what Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively said to each other during a recorded exchange at the Time100 gala on Thursday.

The interaction, which was recorded by a witness in the room, showed Reynolds talking to his wife before she delivered her honoree speech.

“I should be there, I need to shine right now,” Reynolds allegedly told the “Another Simple Favor” star, lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail.

“You need to understand what I am saying to you right now.” Reynolds, 48, continued.

Lively then placed her hand on the “Deadpool” actor’s cheek before telling him, “Kiss me one more time.”

He then got up and gave his wife — who was included in the magazine’s “Most Influential People of 2025” list — a quick smooch before she took the stage.

In her address, Lively subtly referenced her legal battle with Justin Baldoni by telling a story about her “eternal optimist” mom, Willie Elain McAlpin, who she said was a victim of “the worst crime someone can commit against a woman.”

The “Gossip Girl” alum, 37, said McAlpin, 77, concealed “her raw and undeserved shame” throughout her entire life, but she was asked to share her mom’s story because “if we name it, we change it.”

“My mom never got justice from her work acquaintance who attempted to take her life when she was the mother of three young kids years before I was born,” Lively further explained.

Lively’s words held extra significance as the actress remains embroiled in her ongoing legal feud with Baldoni. 

Lively filed a lawsuit against her “It Ends With Us” co-star in December 2024 for sexual harassment and claimed he attempted to tarnish her reputation by orchestrating a smear campaign against her 

Baldoni has denied the allegations and responded by countersuing Lively, Reynolds and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, for defamation, extortion and other claims in a $400 million lawsuit.

Their trial date is currently set for March 2026.
