Over the weekend, Ryan Reynolds stepped into the public eye to express his support for his wife, Blake Lively, amidst an ongoing legal dispute involving her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, from “It Ends With Us.”

On Saturday, Reynolds, known for his role in “Waiting,” shared a candid moment on Instagram. The 48-year-old actor posted a photo with Lively, 38, as they admired Halloween decorations near their home in New York.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2012 and are parents to four children, appeared cheerful in the outdoor selfie. The image, which was shared with Reynolds’ nearly 52 million Instagram followers, captured a slice of their everyday life.

In the photo, Lively is seen handling the camera duties while Reynolds poses with his hands casually tucked into his pockets. They stood next to a whimsical balloon spider attached to a street lamp, adding a festive touch to the scene.

Blake Lively looked effortlessly chic, her sandy blonde hair flowing naturally, complementing her figure, which was elegantly draped in a tweed jacket. The snapshot offered a glimpse into the couple’s life, highlighting their bond and shared moments amidst the ongoing challenges.

The Gossip Girl alum reposted the selfie with Reynolds to her own Instagram Story shortly after he did.

Lively, who is in ongoing litigation with Baldoni over production of their 2024 film It Ends with Us, took to Instagram Stories modeling a pair of pajamas she said she was partial to.

‘I am so obsessed with my new jammies that I swap out the bottoms with jeans or slacks and pass off the top as a regular shirt,’ said Lively.

Lively concluded her statement by writing ‘no one will ever know’ with a shush emoji, as she tagged the manufacturers of the products she likes. 

In the selfie she posted, the Gossip Girl star was standing in a walk-in closet, in front of dozens of pairs of shoes, while wearing white pajamas with necklaces, with her blonde mane styled to one side. 

Lively indicated that the London-based brand DAMSON MADDER.had manufactured the pajamas, with the specific item she was modeling called the ‘Antonella Pj Set – Polka Dot.’

In December of 2024, Lively named Baldoni in a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment, retaliatory conduct, and intentional infliction of emotional stress.

In her lawsuit, the Gossip Girl alum accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her in multiple ways – including body shaming her – and orchestrating a smear campaign against her to damage her reputation.  

In her lawsuit, Lively named a number of Baldoni’s collaborators, including his company Wayfarer Studios, the studio’s CEO and financial backer, and PR personnel Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel.  

Baldoni had initially asked for $250 million in damages from the paper, then added it into the $400 million lawsuit he filed this past January.

In the suit, Baldoni named Lively, her spouse Ryan Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane, citing the aforementioned report in legal documents. It was thrown out of court this past June. 

All parties have denied all of the allegations against them.
