Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are making the most of their time together before the holiday rush.
The actress shared a sweet selfie with her husband on Wednesday, November 26, giving fans a little glimpse into their night out in New York City.
The couple smiled in the photo posted to Lively’s Instagram Stories, and she joked: “I put my hair to good use in the evenings,” adding a reference to the iconic Empire Hotel in Gossip Girl.
The couple, who first met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010 and married in September 2012, are parents to four children, James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and son Olin, 2.
Their evening comes at a tense time for Lively, who remains in the middle of a high-profile legal battle with her. It ends with us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.
The dispute began in December 2024 after Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexually harassing her during the filming of the feature film based on the novel by Colleen Hoover.
She also alleged that he attempted to damage her public reputation in what she claimed was a coordinated defamation effort, citing details of a New York Times report, “We Can Bury Anyone”: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.
Baldoni denied the accusations and responded with a separate lawsuit seeking $400 million in damages against Lively, Reynolds and their public relations team.
His countersuit was officially dismissed on October 31 after Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios failed to file an amended complaint by the deadline.
Meanwhile, Lively’s allegations remain active, with the trial scheduled for March 2026.
For now, the latest moment from her Instagram highlights a brief break from legal headlines, showing Lively and Reynolds enjoying a quiet outing together in the city they call home.
