Seemingly unfazed by alleged feud with co-star Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively marks her birthday weekend in Rhode Island, sharing a heartfelt moment with husband Ryan Reynolds.

AceShowbiz - Blake Lively celebrated her 37th birthday in a uniquely charming fashion, spending a serene weekend in Rhode Island alongside her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The couple was spotted sharing an intimate kiss on Saturday, August 24, just a day ahead of Lively's birthday. Reynolds, 47, kept it casual in dark sunglasses, a baseball hat, and a button-down shirt while Lively looked effortlessly stylish in an orange halter top and a bun.
The star-studded weekend getaway took an even more delightful turn as close friends Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen enjoying each other's company in the same state. Swift and Kelce, both 34, took time off from their busy schedules - Kelce from the Kansas City Chiefs' preseason games and Swift from the European leg of her Eras Tour.
The bond between Swift and Lively, which began nearly ten years ago, is well-documented. Swift even brought Lively along to cheer for Kelce at the 2024 Super Bowl, showcasing their strong friendship.
Lively and Reynolds' Rhode Island escape comes after a hectic few weeks marked by unprecedented professional success. Their films, "It Ends with Us" and "Deadpool & Wolverine," simultaneously topped the box office, marking the first time in over 30 years a married couple achieved such a feat. The last instance was in 1990 when Bruce Willis starred in "Die Hard 2" and Demi Moore featured in "Ghost." Reynolds's movie grossed $54.2 million domestically in its opening weekend while Lively's film pulled in over $50 million.
In an interview with Willie Geist on "Sunday Today," Reynolds humorously noted this rare competition, saying it was "the only time in my life I've ever dreamt of coming in second." He elaborated, "No, I think that's the sign of a good relationship. It's always been the one kind of constant with Blake and I: We really root for each other."
During the New York City premiere of "It Ends with Us" on August 6, Lively commended Reynolds for his support, revealing that he wrote the movie's "iconic rooftop scene." She stated, "We help each other. He works on everything I do; I work on everything he does. So his wins, his celebrations are mine and mine are his."
However, the success did not come without its challenges. Reports suggest creative clashes between "It Ends with Us" director and star Justin Baldoni and the rest of the primary cast, including Lively, allegedly led to multiple cuts of the film.
