Ryan Reynolds Thinks Blake Lively Is “Fearless”
Last week, the It Ends With Us legal drama came to a close after Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni agreed to a settlement just two weeks before the case was scheduled to go to trial. Lively celebrated the news as a “resounding victory” and made a surprise appearance at the Met Gala just hours after the settlement was announced.
After all that, a very celebratory Mother’s Day was in order. Her husband, Ryan Reynolds, posted a tribute to Lively on his Instagram Story on Sunday, sharing photos of them hugging in ponchos by a waterfall and lounging side by side in Adirondack chairs. “I appreciate this mother beyond measure,” Reynolds wrote. “She is kind. She is fearless. She’s the absolute love of my life — and to our four little kids, she’s the life of their love.”
Reynolds has stood ten toes down for Lively throughout her legal battle against Baldoni, demonstrating support both on social media and in text messages unsealed as part of a court order. In an August 2024 text, Reynolds praised his wife for her work on It Ends With Us, saying she “went so far above and beyond what should be asked of anyone, in order to land a jumbo jet on a fucking dime.” He also had some pretty choice words for Baldoni, whom he called “an inexplicably toxic mess — to say nothing of the fact he ‘presents’ as a feminist ally/warrior when he’s actually a thoroughbred, predatory fraudster.” (Baldoni flatly denied all of Lively’s allegations, and his lawyer said he is “ecstatic” about the settlement.)
