Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s Romantic Outing Amidst Legal Battles

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively recently enjoyed a date night at the Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round match between Wrexham—co-owned by Reynolds—and Chelsea on March 7, 2026, in Wrexham, Wales. The couple was seen sharing affectionate moments, including a kiss, while supporting Reynolds’s football club.

A Romantic Evening in Wales

Reynolds, 49, dressed casually in a gray sweatshirt and jeans, embraced Lively, 38, who sported a denim jacket and matching blue jeans. The pair also captured a sweet selfie on the field, which Lively shared on her Instagram Story with a red heart emoji, captioning it, “What. A. Game. @wrexham_afc @chelseafc.”

Support During Legal Challenges

This public appearance comes nearly two months after Reynolds publicly addressed Blake Lively’s ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni regarding the film “It Ends With Us.” Reynolds’s support for his wife has been evident throughout the legal proceedings, with a representative stating he passionately believes in a safe workplace free of harassment and retaliation. E! News reported on Reynolds’s rep’s statement.

Background of the Legal Battle

In January 2025, Justin Baldoni filed a lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, alleging they interfered with “It Ends With Us” and damaged his reputation. MSN details the initial filing of the lawsuit. Unsealed text messages from August 2024 revealed Reynolds comparing the situation to the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case, noting the online narrative blaming Lively and the lack of public support for Baldoni from other cast and crew members. Fox News reported on the content of these text messages.

Settlement Conference

The couple’s outing followed a court-ordered settlement conference in February 2026. Yahoo Entertainment noted this was their first public outing since the conference.

Despite the challenges, Reynolds and Lively continue to present a united front, demonstrating their strong relationship and mutual support.
