Ryan Reynolds is out here proving that no matter how chaotic things get, husband duties must go on! The Deadpool star, master of trolling, and overall comedic genius took a moment to remind the world that he is, indeed, still married to Blake Lively—despite what might look like the plot of a very dramatic courtroom drama unfolding in real life.
The 37-year-old actress has been laying low recently, probably because the universe decided, “Hey Blake, how about some legal chaos for fun?” Her name has been splashed across headlines, but instead of dodging the mess, Ryan did what any supportive (and slightly unhinged) husband would do—he posted a selfie. Because nothing says, I’ve got your back, babe, like a well-timed Instagram Story.
And just to really set the mood, Ryan paired the image with Hootie & the Blowfish’s 1994 banger, Only Wanna Be with You. Because, obviously, when in doubt, cue the nostalgic ‘90s soft rock.
For those who missed the legal soap opera: Blake has filed a sexual harassment and retaliation case against It Ends with Us director Justin Baldoni, his PR team, and the financiers behind the film. But wait—there’s more! In response, Justin came swinging with a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Blake, Ryan (yes, Deadpool himself!), and their publicist Leslie Sloane. And just when you thought things couldn’t get messier, Justin also decided to sue The New York Times. Because, hey, why not go for the legal triple crown?
So, while some couples do date nights or post sappy anniversary messages, Ryan and Blake are out here navigating lawsuits like a tag-team duo in a wrestling match. Will they come out victorious? Will Ryan’s next post be a meme about courtrooms? Will Hootie & the Blowfish see a sudden spike in Spotify streams? Stay tuned—this Hollywood saga is just getting started.
