Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’s Relationship: A Complete Timeline

That very evening, Reynolds poses with Lively at the It Ends With Us movie premiere. In an interview with E! News, Lively even claims her husband wrote the film’s “iconic rooftop scene,” saying, “my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that but you now.” This is news to the film’s screenwriter Christy Hall.

Fans also begin to notice that none of the cast posed with Baldoni—who later claimed that he and his supporters were sent to a separate screening in the basement.

I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing—that is, the contents of this movie—that happens in your wondrous life.”

February 2024: During an appearance on Further Ado, the Substack series of her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costar Amber Tamblyn, Lively explained that she and Reynolds created a “rule” to make sure they never got too busy to spend time together.

“When Ryan and I got together, we made a rule not to work at the same time,” Lively said, per Entertainment Tonight. “So that we could always prioritize our personal life.”
