After facing backlash over her Time100 honor and allegations involving Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively found comfort in husband Ryan Reynolds’ arms during a loving outing in Wales.
April 27, 2025: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds aren’t letting controversy dim their happiness.
Just days after Blake Lively faced criticism for her appearance and speech at the Time100 Gala, the star and her husband Ryan Reynolds put on a united front — and plenty of PDA — while cheering on his Wrexham soccer team in Wales.

In heartfelt moments captured by photographers, Reynolds was seen kissing Lively tenderly on the forehead as she wrapped her arms lovingly around him. In another photo, Lively cupped Reynolds’ face with both hands and planted a big, affectionate kiss on his lips — leaving no doubt that the couple remains rock-solid.
A day earlier, the couple also shared a joyful selfie on Instagram, standing together in front of the Wrexham AFC logo. “Let’s go boys @wrexham_afc,” Lively captioned the photo.

These public displays of affection come in the wake of harsh criticism from political commentator Megyn Kelly, who lambasted Lively’s inclusion in Time’s list of the “Most Influential People” of 2025. Speaking to the Daily Mail on the red carpet at Thursday’s gala in New York City, Kelly called Lively’s honor “a ridiculous joke,” adding, “She has no influence over anything.”

Kelly also referenced the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, accusing Lively of launching a “fake MeToo allegation” — an explosive claim that further fueled online controversy.
Inside the Time100 event, Lively addressed the issue indirectly during her speech, sharing a deeply personal story about her mother’s traumatic past. “My mom never got justice from her work acquaintance who attempted to take her life when she was the mother of three young kids, years before I was born,” Lively revealed emotionally, speaking of the shame her mother carried in silence.
Despite the heated headlines, the Hollywood power couple’s sweet and simple moments in Wales sent a clear message: love and loyalty come first.
