    May 21 2025
    Ryan Reynolds BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Ryan Reynolds has been in the spotlight recently, primarily due to the ongoing legal battle involving his wife Blake Lively and "It Ends With Us" director Justin Baldoni. Just today, Rob McElhenney briefly touched on how he's supporting Reynolds and Lively through this legal situation, though specific details weren't shared.

    Earlier this week on May 19, Reynolds and Lively were spotted arriving together at the Time100 event in New York City, marking a rare joint public appearance for the couple who have been keeping a relatively low profile this year.

    Last week on May 13, the couple was seen having dinner with friend and former costar Salma Hayek at RH Rooftop Restaurant in New York City, alongside Blake's sister Robyn. Reynolds has previously worked with Hayek on "The Hitman's Bodyguard" and its sequel.

    The couple notably skipped the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, continuing their absence from the event since they last attended as co-chairs in 2022. Sources confirmed this wasn't unexpected, as "Blake and Ryan haven't gone since 2022."

    The legal situation with Baldoni has been ongoing since December 2024 when Lively sued him, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign. Baldoni denied these allegations and countersued the couple for $400 million, alleging defamation and civil extortion. The trial date has been set for March 2026.

    Reynolds has maintained his business ventures throughout this period. He continues to be involved with Mint Mobile and his co-ownership of Wrexham AFC. These entrepreneurial efforts highlight his growing influence in the business world, potentially rivaling his acting career in importance.

    On the professional front, Reynolds is preparing for the release of "Deadpool 3," which promises to blend the character's irreverent style with the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's also scheduled to speak at the OMR Festival in Hamburg on May 6-7, 2025, where he'll appear as a Hollywood star, entrepreneur, football club owner, and agency founder.

  • Ryan Reynolds: Navigating Fame, Controversies, and Business Ventures
    May 18 2025
    Ryan Reynolds BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Ryan Reynolds has been at the center of several major headlines over the past few days, a mix of emotional gestures, strategic public appearances, ongoing business moves, and the ever-present glare of social media and legal controversy. The most poignant story was his heartfelt public message of support for Wrexham striker Steven Fletcher, who was reportedly forced out of the club after its promotion to the Championship. Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham AFC, called Fletcher “greatness” in an emotional statement, cementing his bond with the team and fans according to GOAL, reinforcing his role as a hands-on and compassionate club boss.

    Despite this positive moment, Ryan’s public reputation is under significant scrutiny, largely due to the high-profile legal saga involving his wife, Blake Lively, and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. After Lively sued Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, Baldoni countersued both Lively and Reynolds, plus their publicist, for $400 million, accusing Reynolds of aggressively berating him and “fat shaming” Lively. This legal battle has cast a shadow over Reynolds, with The List noting that his recent public relations moves, such as presenting at January’s National Board of Review Gala, have been met with skepticism by some fans and social media commentators who see his actions as calculated attempts to rehabilitate his image.

    That January appearance at the National Board of Review Gala marked Reynolds’ first public event since the lawsuits surfaced, and it drew plenty of discussion for both his sharp red-carpet look and a speech that, some argue, was more about his own narrative than about the film he presented. Notably, he and Lively also skipped the 2025 Met Gala, a significant absence for a couple so closely linked to the event’s history, as confirmed by PEOPLE.

    In the midst of these personal storms, Reynolds remains a formidable presence in business and entertainment. His ventures with Mint Mobile and Wrexham AFC keep him in headlines, while the anticipation for Deadpool 3 continues to mount, promising to cement his blockbuster status once again, as highlighted by BioSnap’s weekly biography podcast. Reynolds is also scheduled to make a high-profile business appearance as a speaker at OMR25 in Hamburg in early May, a nod to his growing entrepreneurial reputation.

    Through it all, Reynolds keeps his trademark humor alive on social media, engaging in lighthearted banter and fan interactions. Still, speculation lingers about his next moves, particularly regarding a potential expansion of his production company, Maximum Effort, but nothing is confirmed yet. As recent events show, Ryan Reynolds’ story is unfolding in real time, shaped as much by his business acumen and charisma as by the controversies and challenges of the public eye.

  • Ryan Reynolds: Prankster Fears Jail, Skips Met Gala Amid Legal Battle | Business Ventures Soar
    May 14 2025
    Ryan Reynolds BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Ryan Reynolds made headlines this week when he revealed on Conan O'Brien's podcast that he once feared going to jail for a prank on the set of "Just Friends" in 2005. The actor confessed he placed a makeshift sign over Regina, Saskatchewan's welcome sign that officials initially considered vandalism until it snapped off, at which point they found it humorous.

    Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively notably skipped the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, continuing their pattern of limited public appearances amid their ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Multiple sources confirmed the couple hasn't attended since 2022 when they served as co-chairs. The Met Gala holds special significance for the pair as they made their red carpet debut there in 2011.

    The couple's absence from public events stems from a December 2024 lawsuit where Lively sued her "It Ends With Us" co-star Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign. Baldoni countersued the couple for $400 million, claiming defamation and civil extortion. The legal drama is set for trial in March 2026.

    In business news, Reynolds continues to build his entrepreneurial reputation. A viral social media thread on May 2 compared his business acumen to Steve Jobs, highlighting his strategic investments in Aviation Gin and other ventures. Unlike celebrities who merely endorse products, Reynolds takes an active role in his business interests.

    On April 30, Reynolds shared content on Instagram tagged with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, though details about the post weren't specified.

    Reynolds is also spearheading an initiative to convert sound stages at Warner Bros. Studio into pickleball courts, further diversifying his business interests.

    His first public appearance following the Baldoni lawsuit came on January 7, 2025, at the National Board of Review Gala in New York City, where he honored "Wicked" as the best movie of 2024. Reynolds and Lively have generally maintained a low profile this year as their legal troubles continue to unfold.

  • Ryan Reynolds: Navigating Legal Battles, Met Gala Absence, and AI Marketing Prowess
    May 11 2025
    Ryan Reynolds BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Ryan Reynolds has been at the center of notable headlines recently, both for his absences and his ongoing legal battle. The Hollywood star and his wife Blake Lively skipped the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, continuing their streak of non-attendance since 2022 when they served as co-chairs. While some speculated their absence might be connected to their legal troubles, sources indicate this was a planned decision unrelated to their current lawsuit.

    Speaking of legal matters, Reynolds and Lively remain embroiled in a high-profile legal feud with Justin Baldoni, Lively's former co-star and director of "It Ends With Us." The dispute began in December 2024 when Lively sued Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign. Baldoni countersued the couple for $400 million, claiming defamation and civil extortion, allegations they've dismissed as "meritless." A trial date has been set for March 2026.

    Despite these challenges, Reynolds has maintained public appearances. Most recently, he and Lively attended the TIME100 event in New York City on April 25, 2025. Earlier this year, Reynolds made a surprise appearance at the National Board of Review Gala on January 7, where he looked sharp in a gray suit while honoring "Wicked" as the best movie of 2024.

    On the business front, Reynolds continues his role as co-owner of Wrexham AFC alongside Rob McElhenney. The club is pushing for promotion while navigating League One, though reports suggest they'll need significant reinforcements to compete at higher levels. Reynolds reportedly has "multi-billionaires" lined up to assist in their bid to reach the Premier League.

    Reynolds has also demonstrated his marketing prowess recently, showcasing his innovative approach by using AI to draft an advertisement for Mint Mobile, reinforcing his reputation as a creative entrepreneur who effectively leverages cultural trends.

    As the legal battle continues and his business ventures evolve, Reynolds maintains his characteristic charm and public persona while balancing his Hollywood career, business interests, and family life.

  • Ryan Reynolds: Navigating Fame, Business, and Legal Battles Amid Met Gala Absence
    May 7 2025
    Ryan Reynolds BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    In the past few days, Ryan Reynolds has found himself both in and out of the spotlight, with his absence at major events and a rare public appearance fueling headlines and online conversation. The 2025 Met Gala, often a highlight for Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, passed without their attendance, a decision widely anticipated due to the ongoing legal drama engulfing Lively. According to Reality Tea and Harper’s Bazaar, the couple has largely withdrawn from public events since Lively filed a high-profile lawsuit against her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. She has accused Baldoni of orchestrating a smear campaign and sexual harassment, while he has countersued, escalating the case into one of Hollywood’s most closely watched legal battles, with a court date set for March 2026. Their absence this year was noted by fans and media alike, especially since the couple’s history with the Met Gala includes their memorable debut as a couple in 2014 and serving as co-chairs in 2022.

    Despite this, Reynolds recently surfaced for his first significant public appearance since the lawsuits began, attending the 2025 National Board of Review Gala in New York. As reported by Just Jared and confirmed by the Times of India, he appeared on stage in a sharp gray suit to help honor “Wicked,” named best movie of 2024. Observers noted that this marked his first major event since his wife’s lawsuit hit headlines, and speculation arose over whether subtle jabs at Baldoni found their way into the latest Deadpool film, "Deadpool & Wolverine."

    On the business front, Reynolds continues to be a topic of viral discussion. A recent thread on X (formerly Twitter) comparing his business savvy to Steve Jobs made waves, highlighting his hands-on roles with Aviation Gin, Mint Mobile, and the Wrexham AFC football club. The Times of India details how his entrepreneurial approach and marketing wit, such as his instantly meme-able response to pop culture moments, have cemented his reputation far beyond acting.

    Social media engagement remains strong, with conversations around his business achievements trending. However, there has been no fresh viral content from Reynolds himself, and his posts remain focused on promoting his ventures rather than personal matters. Industry insiders are closely watching how this quieter public period will affect his long-term brand, but for now, Reynolds’ calculated appearances and business moves suggest he is navigating the current maelstrom with signature composure.

    Ryan Reynolds has been at the center of several prominent headlines in the past few days, balancing red carpet events, major Hollywood news, business world buzz, and an ongoing legal firestorm. Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively made a dazzling appearance at the Time100 Gala in New York City, drawing attention from E! News and fashion commentators as they walked the star-studded event just last week. However, the couple will notably skip this year’s Met Gala—People exclusively reports that despite their 2022 co-chair roles, both Reynolds and Lively have opted out of attending the high-profile fashion gathering set for May 5.

Anticipation is building fast, with fans and industry insiders speculating that this could mark a major shift in the Marvel franchise.

    Despite the glitz, Reynolds remains under intense public scrutiny due to legal drama involving his wife. Blake Lively’s ongoing lawsuits against her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni have spiraled into a high-profile, high-stakes battle; Baldoni has countersued Lively and Reynolds for $400 million, alleging defamation and extortion, and the noise around the case is louder than ever. According to LaineyGossip and Just Jared, Reynolds made a point of not retreating from the public eye—he recently turned up at the Paley Center in New York and at the National Board of Review Gala, where, as reported by Just Jared, he was seen honoring the film Wicked and appeared unbothered by the surrounding controversy. Social media chatter is rampant, with speculation that Reynolds has subtly referenced the lawsuit in Deadpool & Wolverine, adding fuel to the gossip mill.

    Meanwhile, Reynolds’ reputation as a business mogul is reaching new heights. A viral thread on X compared his strategy and entrepreneurial impact to none other than Steve Jobs, highlighting his hands-on roles at Aviation Gin, Mint Mobile, and Wrexham AFC. The Times of India reports that fans and analysts alike are crediting his ability to blend community connection, marketing genius, and authentic leadership as central to his new business icon status.

    All in all, Ryan Reynolds finds himself navigating a complex web of Hollywood projects, legal intrigue, business expansion, and relentless media attention. Even as the legal saga threatens to overshadow other achievements, his ability to stay in the public eye and shape the narrative continues to define his legacy.

    Ryan Reynolds has been in the spotlight with several notable appearances and achievements recently. On April 27, 2025, Reynolds attended the New York City premiere of "Another Simple Favor," supporting his wife Blake Lively who stars alongside Anna Kendrick in the highly anticipated sequel. Reynolds looked sharp in a classic gray suit while Lively stunned in a mint green caged corset with a flowing skirt. The couple was photographed together on the red carpet with director Paul Feig and other high-profile stars including Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and Hugh Jackman.

    Just a day before the premiere, on April 26, Reynolds publicly praised his wife after she made what appeared to be a veiled reference to her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni during her speech at the Time100 gala. Speaking to People magazine, Reynolds said he was in "awe" of Lively, adding "I don't know that I've met somebody stronger."

    The couple was spotted again on April 29 during a date night in New York City's Tribeca, sporting contrasting outfits - Lively in an all-black double-leather ensemble while Reynolds opted for a preppy look with a knitted white button-up, beige trousers, and a burgundy jacket.

  • Ryan Reynolds: Navigating Fame, Philanthropy, and Legal Battles in the Public Eye
    Apr 13 2025
    Ryan Reynolds BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Ryan Reynolds has had a whirlwind few days filled with public appearances, legal drama, and a touch of heartfelt advocacy. On April 12, he appeared before a town council in Ontario, Canada, passionately advocating for renaming a local arena in honor of a nine-year-old girl who passed away from cancer. Reynolds emphasized her inspirational impact, a gesture highlighting his ongoing commitment to community and philanthropy, which continues to endear him to fans.

    Meanwhile, the legal battle involving Ryan and his wife, Blake Lively, against Justin Baldoni remains a stormy backdrop. Baldoni, a director and actor, has filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against the couple. This stems from Blake Lively’s accusations in late 2024 of sexual harassment and retaliatory actions during the production of *It Ends With Us*. Reynolds and Lively have filed motions to dismiss the case, with a potential trial looming in March 2026. The couple's legal team maintains the claims lack merit, while Baldoni’s camp insists otherwise. The controversy has sparked fervent public discourse, some of it critical of Lively.

    Amid the tension, Ryan has not shied away from the spotlight. He appeared in New York at the Paley Center despite the ongoing scrutiny, reaffirming his stance of facing issues head-on rather than retreating. Adding another public event to his calendar, Reynolds will deliver a keynote address at Postman’s POST/CON 25 in June, discussing generative AI and its application in entrepreneurial ventures. This aligns closely with his cutting-edge marketing efforts, including his innovative use of AI in campaigns for brands like Mint Mobile.

    Beyond these high-profile events, Reynolds continues to make headlines for his cultural and business contributions. His ability to blend wit with innovation ensures his relevance extends far beyond Hollywood, even as he navigates personal and professional turbulence.
