Ryan Reynolds is making headlines again—but this time, it’s not for Deadpool 4 or a hilarious social media roast. The actor has shockingly asked a court to remove him from a lawsuit tied to his wife Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with actor-director Justin Baldoni. Insiders claim Reynolds is “fiercely protecting his family” as the drama escalates.
The bombshell news erupted this week after legal documents revealed Reynolds’ legal team filed a motion to dismiss him from Baldoni’s lawsuit, which reportedly targets Blake Lively over a mysterious business dispute. While details about the case remain under wraps, sources close to the situation say Baldoni’s claims involve a collapsed project tied to Lively’s lifestyle brand, Betty Buzz. Reynolds, however, insists he has “zero involvement” in the matter—and he’s fighting to prove it.
“Ryan’s name was dragged into this unfairly,” an insider spilled. “He and Blake keep their professional lives separate, but because they’re married, Baldoni’s team tried linking him to the mess. Ryan’s not having it.”
Fans know Reynolds and Lively as Hollywood’s golden couple, famously private but always united. This legal twist, though, has sparked chaos. Baldoni, best known for It Ends With Us and Jane the Virgin, filed the lawsuit earlier this year, alleging breach of contract and financial damages. But why target Reynolds? Legal experts speculate Baldoni’s team may believe Ryan’s business ties—like his Mint Mobile empire—could pressure Lively’s camp to settle.
“This is a classic legal strategy,” said celebrity attorney Dana Green. “If you can’t reach one spouse, you go after the other. But Ryan’s motion shows he’s prepared to fight back hard.”
Social media is already exploding. One fan tweeted, “Ryan Reynolds getting sued for something Blake did? That’s like suing Taylor Swift’s cat for her music,” while others are praising him for “shielding Blake at all costs.”
Meanwhile, Lively has stayed silent on the drama, focusing instead on her upcoming film It Ends With Us. But Reynolds’ bold move hints at tension behind the scenes. Could this lawsuit strain their picture-perfect marriage? Insiders say no: “They’re a team. Ryan’s just cleaning up a legal overreach.”
As the court weighs Reynolds’ request, one thing’s clear: This isn’t the last twist. Baldoni’s camp has yet to respond, and whispers of a “bigger celebrity name” being involved are swirling. Stay tuned—this Hollywood showdown is just getting started.
