Blake Lively Celebrates Birthday with Ryan Reynolds Amidst Box Office Success

Celebrated actress Blake Lively, known for her roles in The Age of Adaline, The Shallows, and It Ends with Us, is marking her birthday today, August 25, with a relaxing getaway in Rhode Island alongside her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

According to People, the couple enjoyed an intimate day together, with Reynolds donning dark sunglasses, a baseball hat, and a button-down shirt, while Lively looked effortlessly chic in an orange halter top, her hair styled in a bun.

Lively and Reynolds have had an eventful few weeks, both personally and professionally. Their films, It Ends with Us and Deadpool & Wolverine, were released this month, making them the first married couple in over 30 years to simultaneously top the box office. The last duo to achieve this milestone was Bruce Willis and Demi Moore in 1990, with Die Hard 2 and Ghost.

It Ends with Us garnered over $50 million in its opening weekend, while Deadpool & Wolverine raked in $54.2 million. Despite the friendly competition, Reynolds joked about their box office rivalry, calling it “the only time in my life I’ve ever dreamt of coming in second.” He added, “That’s the sign of a good relationship. It’s always been the one kind of constant with Blake and I: We really root for each other.”

Lively, who has been close friends with singer Taylor Swift for nearly a decade, revealed during the New York City premiere of It Ends with Us that Reynolds had a hand in writing the movie’s “iconic rooftop scene.” She spoke fondly of their collaborative relationship, saying, “We help each other. He works on everything I do; I work on everything he does. So his wins, his celebrations are mine and mine are his.”

As Lively celebrates her special day, it’s clear that her partnership with Reynolds is built on mutual support, shared success, and a deep connection that continues to thrive both on and off the screen.
