Ryan Reynolds Posts Romantic Selfie With Blake Lively Amid Legal Battle

If you follow Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds on social media, you know that much of their public-facing relationship consists of them trolling each other. Whether it’s Reynolds cropping out Lively in a dedicated birthday post, or Lively joking that Reynolds was “most-likely” the father of their first child, the two love to play a good prank.

However, there are moments where the pair give the world a glimpse of their romantic side, like late last night, when Reynolds posted a loved-up photo of him and Lively, taken in the streets of a city during a nighttime stroll.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively smile for a selfie in the “Deadpool” actor’s latest Instagram Story.

In the selfie, the two are seen smiling widely. Lively wears a brown houndstooth coat and a sandy sweater, while Reynolds is cool in a black-and-white buffalo plaid jacket layered over an undershirt. To add to the romance of it all, Reynolds soundtracked the Instagram Story with “Only Wanna Be With You” by Hootie and the Blowfish.

Lively and Reynolds have been married for over a decade now, having tied the knot in September 2012. They are now parent to four kids: James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2. The actor first met on the set of their superhero film Green Lantern in 2010, and started dating a year later.

Things have not been so smooth-sailing for the couple recently, though. The two are currently entangled in a legal battle with Justin Baldoni, the director of Lively’s complex romantic drama It Ends With Us.

Back in December, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, claiming that he demonstrated inappropriate behavior, including repeated sexual harassment against her, on the set of their film. She also alleged that Baldoni and his team concocted a plan to “destroy” her reputation in order to protect him. In response, Baldoni countersued Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, as well as Sloane’s PR firm. (We unpack the entire legal battle here.)

But amid the legal drama, Lively and Reynolds are showing a united front. And if there’s one thing can cure my winter blues, it’s seeing their playful romance.
