Hollywood stars typically lead private lives and rarely post family pictures on social media. However, Ryan Reynolds decided to show that everything is fine between him and Blake Lively despite the ongoing scandal. The 48-year-old actor shared a rare photo with his wife. They posed for a selfie during a stroll through the city at night. The picture was taken during the couple’s recent trip to Wrexham, Wales. The actors spent a romantic weekend away from their four children—10-year-old James, 8-year-old Ines, 5-year-old Betty, and 2-year-old Olin.
Blake Lively, the star of The Age of Adaline, wore a brown top and a cozy checked cardigan. She had a subtle makeup look and let her hair down. Ryan, known for his role in The Hitman’s Bodyguard, was dressed in a white basic t-shirt and a warm plaid shirt, accessorized with round glasses. Blake smiled at the camera while Ryan embraced her from behind. He accompanied the photo with a hit song from Hootie & the Blowfish, “Only Wanna Be with You” (1994).
The couple first met in 2010 while filming Green Lantern. They married on September 9, 2012, at the Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant. After 12 years of marriage, they’ve become one of Hollywood’s strongest and most harmonious couples. Ryan has been supporting Blake in her legal battle with her All’s Well That Ends Well co-star, Justin Baldoni. Blake’s daughter, Ernie, has accused the actor-director of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work environment on set. She also claims Baldoni tried to tarnish her reputation. This is the first time Blake has been spotted since filing the lawsuit against her Italian-American co-star late last year.
Justin, in return, filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake and her husband, accusing the famous couple of using their influence, connections, and resources to ruin his career. Baldoni claims that due to Blake’s accusations, he has lost work on three projects, lost millions of dollars, and is on the verge of financial ruin.
On Monday, lawyers from both sides presented new allegations in the highly publicized case. Baldoni’s lawyer, Brian Friedman, requested that the judge expedite the case, claiming that his client was “suffering greatly.” Blake’s representative, Michael Gottlieb, strongly rejected claims that the actress was deliberately delaying the lawsuit proceedings. Judge Lewis Liman denied Blake and Ryan’s request for an injunction to prevent the opposing team from disclosing information. Gottlieb stated that Blake’s legal team intends to file new sexual harassment charges against Baldoni and hinted that support from celebrity friends of Blake and Ryan would be “very important.”
Justin’s camp also revealed that Blake had been difficult when approving outfits for the film. She allegedly rejected the costume designer’s choices, forced them to buy new clothes that were then altered for her, and refused to come for fittings at an office just 15 minutes from her Manhattan home. According to Baldoni’s defenders, Lively demanded the clothes be delivered to her home, which caused additional problems and costs. As a result, instead of the planned $185,000 budget, the cost of the costumes ballooned to $615,000.
