AceShowbiz - Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds made a stunning appearance on the red carpet at the "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" in New York City on Sunday, February 16. The couple flashed smile as they posed for photographers.
Lively, known for her role in "Gossip Girl," wore a silver gown. Her actor husband Reynolds, the star of "Deadpool & Wolverine," opted for a classic suit.
This appearance marked their first major red carpet event together since Lively filed a lawsuit against her "It Ends With Us" co-star and director Justin Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment on the set. Baldoni has denied the allegations and filed a countersuit against the couple, alleging defamation.
After celebrating "SNL" special, Lively and Reynolds popped up at the Crane Club to join the star-studded party celebrating Chris Rock's 60th birthday. Madonna, Cher, Adam Sandler, Tom Hanks, Amy Schumer, Eddie Murphy, and Paul Rudd were among the A-listers spotted at the soiree.
Chevy Chase shared a selfie with the couple. "[Wife] Jay and I went The Crane Club downtown to join the celebrations for @chrisrock 's 60th Birthday, hosted by @guyoseary . So much talent! Such funny and nice guys! Made me miss my dear friend, Richard Pryor. He should’ve been there," the comedian wrote on Instagram.
Despite the legal disputes, Lively and Reynolds have maintained a united front. A source close to the couple told Us Weekly that Lively is "very stressed and upset" by the ongoing lawsuits but is determined to see them through.
The trial is set for 2026 and both parties rejected court mediation. In a joint letter to a judge, they believe "settlement discussions would be premature" and that mediation, as well as discovery protocols, would be "inappropriate for this case."
