Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, once considered the ultimate Hollywood power couple, are now facing public scrutiny for both their careers and their relationship. Known for their humorous social media exchanges and public displays of affection, they gave an impression of true love and mutual support.
However, recent revelations cast their romance in a different light, with fans beginning to question if the affection displayed online was merely performative. Criticisms have also surfaced regarding their perceived insensitivity, particularly concerning their wedding held at a plantation, a choice that many found problematic.
Before their relationship began, both were in high-profile partnerships—Blake with her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley, and briefly, Leonardo DiCaprio, while Ryan was previously married to Scarlett Johansson, ending just before his relationship with Blake. The timeline of their relationship raises questions about potential overlap, with speculation that chemistry between the two started while they were still with other partners. Scarlett reportedly felt resentment toward Blake, believing that her former husband had moved on too quickly.
The backlash around Blake’s role in It Ends With Us, alongside criticisms of the couple’s handling of their image and relationship, has led many to reassess their once-idyllic image. Their story, once seen as romantic and inspirational, is now seen by some as tainted by allegations of manipulation and controversy.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, once a beloved Hollywood couple, are now facing speculation and controversy surrounding their personal and professional lives. Recently, Blake has been filming *It Ends With Us* in New Jersey, alongside co-stars Hasan Minhaj and Justin Baldoni, who also directed the film.
Originally set for a February release, the film’s debut was delayed by the SAG and WGA strikes. Blake plays a character named Lily, a woman in a troubled marriage, which has led to rumors about her own relationship. Blind items and insider reports suggest ongoing arguments between Blake and Ryan, especially around her desire to act, which he allegedly disapproves of, leading to tension whenever she takes on new roles. Some sources claim Ryan’s possessiveness mirrors his previous marriage with Scarlett Johansson, where his discomfort with her career reportedly contributed to their split.
Adding to the rumors, Blake allegedly clashed with Baldoni during intimate scenes, with reports stating he kissed her longer than scripted, supposedly sparking jealousy from Ryan, who, despite not being part of the production, reportedly intervened frequently. The couple, known for their lighthearted public persona, now faces cheating allegations, rumors of marital conflict, and criticism for their wedding venue at a plantation.
Many speculate that a divorce announcement is imminent, with some TikTok influencers predicting it within the next 90 days. Some even suggest Ryan’s PR team has been strategically portraying Blake in a negative light in preparation for the news. Though public opinion is shifting, many hope the couple can work things out, especially for the sake of their three children.
