About this listen
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 According to Reality Tea and Harper’s Bazaar, the couple has largely withdrawn from public events since Lively filed a high-profile lawsuit against her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni.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.
