Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Turn Heads In First Outing Since Controversial TIME100 Speech

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are brushing off the drama and turning up the romance!

Just two days after the "Gossip Girl" alum was slammed by Megyn Kelly for being honored at the Time100 Gala, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds packed on the PDA while supporting his Wrexham soccer team in Wales on Saturday.

In one sweet snap, shared by Page Six, Reynolds was seen kissing his wife on the forehead as she lovingly wrapped her arms around his waist. Another photo captured Lively grabbing her husband’s face and planting a big kiss right on his lips.

Clearly unbothered by the headlines, Lively also shared a smiling selfie of the couple to her Instagram Stories one day earlier, writing, “Let’s go boys @wrexham_afc” alongside a shot of them posing in front of the team’s logo.

The loved-up moments come after Megyn Kelly blasted Lively’s Time100 recognition in an interview with Daily Mail at the event in NYC.

“It’s a ridiculous joke,” Kelly said on the red carpet. “She shouldn’t be here. She has no influence over anything.”

Kelly went even further, accusing Lively of having “launched a fake MeToo allegation” against her "It Ends With Us" co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.

During her emotional Time100 speech, Lively subtly addressed her ongoing legal war with Baldoni by opening up about her mother, Willie Elain McAlpin, revealing that she had been assaulted by a “work acquaintance," and had spent her life concealing “her raw and undeserved shame.”

“My mom never got justice from her work acquaintance who attempted to take her life when she was the mother of three young kids years before I was born,” Lively shared from the stage.

Without naming names, Lively sent a strong message about resilience, telling the crowd, “Never underestimate a woman’s ability to endure pain.”

She also made sure to thank “every man,” including her “sweet husband,” for being “kind and good when no one is watching.”

Baldoni is staying quiet, at least publicly, following Lively’s emotional speech at the TIME100 Gala.

While Baldoni hasn’t directly responded to Lively’s comments at the star-studded event, he’s certainly making moves behind the scenes.

The actor and director previously denied Lively’s sexual harassment claims and is hitting back with a jaw-dropping $400 million countersuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their longtime publicist Leslie Sloane for defamation, extortion, and other charges.

Adding another twist to the drama, Baldoni recently launched a website designed to present his side of the story, a move he previously teased as a platform to defend himself against Lively’s allegations.

The site features two main sections: The Amended Complaint and The Case Timeline.

The Amended Complaint outlines Baldoni and his production company’s official legal claims against Lively and Reynolds, detailing accusations of defamation, extortion, and what they describe as "false allegations."

Meanwhile, The Case Timeline offers a blow-by-blow account of key events, starting from Baldoni’s acquisition of the rights to "It Ends With Us" through to the escalating feud with Lively.

The website also publishes several bombshell pieces of evidence, including text conversations and notes between Baldoni, Lively, Reynolds, personal trainers, and others involved in the movie's production.

One standout section even features handwritten notes from an intimacy coordinator.

According to the timeline, Baldoni met with the intimacy coordinator on April 21, 2023, to map out how the film’s sex scenes would be choreographed. The document highlights that Baldoni personally requested a female intimacy coordinator to ensure the scenes would be created from a "female gaze," something he felt was important given the novel’s predominantly female fanbase.

A photo of Baldoni’s handwritten notes from that meeting was also published, with claims that these were later shared with Lively during a script meeting at her New York home.

The former co-stars are now gearing up for a courtroom showdown, with a trial date officially set for March 2026.
