The first post of Ryan Reynolds on the background of the legal conflict between Blake Lively and her partner Justin Baldoni

Actor Ryan Reynolds has shared the first post since his actor wife Blake Lively’s legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. In her first social media post since news of Lively’s complaint broke, the 48-year-old Deadpool star used Instagram to promote donations to the SickKids Foundation, subtly drawing media attention to her family during the holiday season.

The post included a touching video of Reynolds with his 8-year-old daughter Inez dressed as Deadpool and Kidpool, urging support for the organization. Reynolds and Lively are also parents to daughters James, 10, Betty, 5, and their one-year-old son Olin.

Watch the video here:

“It’s almost Christmas Eve. Last day to donate (SickKids Foundation). Thank you (Brian Rowland) for putting on this amazing little piece at a time when I really didn’t want to wear a costume. Thank you (Linda Carter) for your time, grace and talent. Thank you to my daughter for being such a good person despite your dad asking you to swear (for a good deed).”

In a touching move, Reynolds revealed that he and Lively will match donations of up to $500,000, underscoring the foundation’s vital role in supporting families during difficult times.

Blake Lively recently filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a scandalous smear campaign against her.

The lawsuit was filed on December 22, 2024alleges that Baldoni, along with his PR team and producers, engaged in a scheme to damage her reputation after she raised concerns about his on-set behavior.
