Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have decided to skip the Met Gala in 2025, according to a source close to the couple. The event, scheduled for May 5, will be missing two of its most popular celebrities, as Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 48, have no plans to attend.
Despite Lively’s reputation as the “Queen of the Met Gala,” known for her stunning red carpet moments, the couple has not been to the prestigious event since 2022. Last year, they opted to spend time with their four children rather than attend, focusing on family over the fashion extravaganza.

Though they are currently in the spotlight due to a legal dispute involving Lively’s It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, the source clarified that their decision to skip the Gala was made long before this drama began. The couple’s absence will leave fans wondering who will steal the show in their place.
While Lively and Reynolds’ absence from the Met Gala may disappoint those hoping for another iconic look from Lively, it’s clear that they are once again prioritizing their personal time and family life over the glitz and glamour of the fashion world.
