Blake Lively Unveils Candid Selfie with Ryan Reynolds to the Tune of ‘Wild Horses’ as Justin Baldoni Faces Legal Storm

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are becoming affectionate.

On Sunday, March 16, Lively, 37, posted a fresh selfie with her spouse, 48, amidst her ongoing legal dispute with her It Ends with Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.

The Instagram Stories image, which featured The Rolling Stones’ 1971 song “Wild Horses,” depicted Lively beaming as she leaned against Reynolds’ head and shoulder, enveloped in a navy blue coat.

Reynolds, on the other hand, donned a vibrant knitted sweater and a light blue beanie emblazoned with ‘Wrexham Lager,’ one of the sponsors of Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Welsh football club, Wrexham A.F.C.

Reynolds has been backing his wife, to whom he wed in 2012, during her highly publicized legal struggle with Baldoni, 41. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, which he refutes. Baldoni later filed a countersuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist in January, claiming defamation and extortion.

A court trial is set for March 2026.

Lively’s recent social media update follows her attendance at the premiere of her latest film, Another Simple Favor, marking her first movie to debut since her legal disputes with Baldoni commenced.

On March 7, the actress strolled the red carpet in Austin, Texas, as her comedic-thriller sequel launched the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival.

A few days later, the Gossip Girl graduate posted a summary of her experience at the festival on social media.

“Attending @asimplefavor opening night @sxsw felt like a rock concert. My gratitude goes to the best audience,” Lively’s caption commenced.

“Creating this film was already a gift, every aspect of it. Sharing it with all of you and feeling the love reciprocated was the most wonderful sensation. Thank you for welcoming us, Austin,” she added.
