Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were spotted sharing a heartfelt moment just before the Gossip Girl star took the stage at the Time100 Gala on April 24, 2025. The couple, known for their unwavering support of one another, were captured in a private and serious conversation in rare behind-the-scenes footage obtained by Page Six.
Lively, 36, delivered a moving speech during the event, subtly addressing a personal legal battle and honoring the strength of women. The It Ends With Us actress is currently facing a lawsuit involving co-star Justin Baldoni, which she briefly alluded to during her address.
“I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum,” Lively shared with the audience. “What I will speak to, separately, is the feeling of being a woman who has a voice today.”
She also revealed a deeply personal story about her mother, describing her as a survivor of “the worst crime someone can commit against a woman.” Lively emphasized the importance of breaking the cycle of silence, saying, “If we name it, we change it.”
During her speech, the A Simple Favor star also took a moment to praise Reynolds, calling him her “sweet husband” and thanking “every man who is kind and good when no one is watching.”
The duo’s behind-the-scenes exchange, now making rounds on social media, has fans applauding their quiet bond and the strength of their partnership during challenging times.
As Lively continues to navigate public scrutiny and personal battles, Reynolds remains a steady presence—offering support when it matters most
