Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Pose Together Amid Lawsuit

by

As a gamer, I found myself caught up in the buzz surrounding Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ appearance at the Another Simple Favor premiere in NYC. Despite the ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, we managed to steal the spotlight just days after she was recognized at the Time100 Gala. During that event, she briefly acknowledged the effects of the past two years on her life. With the legal proceedings still unfolding, our recent red carpet stroll has reignited curiosity about this high-profile case.

Blake Lively is all smiles at Another Simple Favor premiere

On the evening of April 27, 2025, Blake Lively graced the New York City premiere of Another Simple Favor at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Accompanying her was her husband Ryan Reynolds, the film’s director Paul Feig, and fellow actress Anna Kendrick. For this high-profile event, Lively chose a striking mint-colored gown featuring draped fabric and geometric cutouts, which she paired with eye-catching jewelry.

The movie is a follow-up to the 2018 release titled “A Simple Favor.” Besides Lively and Kendrick, other notable actors like Elizabeth Perkins, Bashir Salahuddin, Andrew Rannells, and Henry Golding are part of the main cast. There are also several others contributing significantly to the film.

Amidst her ongoing legal fight with Justin Baldoni, Lively’s recent presence is noteworthy. This disagreement originated in December 2024 when Lively initiated a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation. However, Baldoni refuted these allegations and responded with a countersuit worth $400 million against Lively, Reynolds, and their representative Leslie Sloane. This court case is set for March 2026.

Three days following Lively’s recognition at the Time100 Gala on April 24, her debut took place. In her speech, she alluded to recent experiences and expressed, “I have many thoughts about the past two years of my life, but this isn’t the appropriate platform.” She further mentioned, “What I will discuss independently is the sensation of being a woman who possesses a voice… because every life, every action, whether significant or minor, influences another” (as reported by PEOPLE).

Addressing folks the next day, Reynolds shared, “I’m not sure if I’ve encountered someone as resilient as her.” He continued, “Her ways of handling things are simply drinking coffee.” He also mentioned, “I can’t fathom how she manages what she does with such grace and fortitude.” Regarding the perception of him being a supportive partner, he humorously stated, “Let’s not jump to conclusions before we have all the details.
