Ryan Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, will not be attending the Golden Globes Sunday despite his nomination for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Page Six can confirm.

The hit Marvel Studios movie, which grossed $1.33 billion worldwide, is nominated in the cinematic and box office achievement category.

Reynold’s co-star Hugh Jackman will not be attending the awards show in Los Angeles, either, according to Deadline.

Page Six has reached out to reps for all stars for comment but did not immediately hear back.

However, a source tells Page Six Saturday that Reynolds and Lively’s decision to skip the Globes was made well in advance of their legal drama with Justin Baldoni and isn’t due to the scandal whatsoever.

We were not given the actual reason for why they have decided not to attend.

The insider also points out, though, that Lively’s latest film, “It Ends With Us,” is not nominated and she was not booked as a presenter.

However, the awards show absence will come just two weeks after the actress accused her “It Ends With Us” co-star of sexual harassment in a scathing complaint and then sued him for emotional distress.

The “Gossip Girl” alum, 37, alleged in her filings that Baldoni, 40, had to be warned at an “all-hands” meeting — in which Reynolds, 48, was also present — to no longer make sex-related remarks, including speaking about his past “porn addiction” or showing “nude videos or images of women.”

Lively also claimed the “Jane the Virgin” alum hired a crisis manager to launch a disparaging social media campaign against her and “destroy” her reputation. She provided bombshell texts in which the crisis rep allegedly once told Baldoni’s publicist, “You know we can bury anyone.”

Baldoni vehemently denied the allegations via his attorney, Bryan Freedman, previously telling Page Six in part that the claims were “intentionally salacious” with an intent to “publicly hurt and rehash a narrative.”

The attorney added that Lively’s allegations were s “another desperate attempt to ‘fix’ her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film; interviews and press activities that were observed publicly, in real time and unedited, which allowed for the internet to generate their own views and opinions.”

Freedman recently told NBC News his client plans to file a lawsuit against Lively “soon.”

In the meantime, Baldoni has filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for their reporting on the legal battle. He claiemd in the suit that Reynolds once lashed out at him because the actor believed that Baldoni had “fat-shamed” his wife.

The “It Ends With Us” director had reportedly asked an on-set trainer how much his co-star weighed since he previously had back issues and had to lift her in a scene.

“The confrontation that followed was so aggressive that Baldoni felt compelled to offer repeated apologies,” the lawsuit stated.

Reynolds — who wed Lively in September 2012 and shares four children with her — has not issued a statement on the scandal but appeared to send a message by allegedly blocking Baldoni on social media.
