Why They're Stepping Back: Prioritizing Family in 2025
The biggest and most recent news surrounding the couple is their collective decision to pump the brakes on their demanding professional lives. After a relentless 2024, which included Blake Lively promoting her new film, *Another Simple Favor*, and Ryan Reynolds continuing his work on the highly-anticipated *Deadpool* franchise, the couple has reportedly made a major commitment to put their family first in 2025.
This commitment is a conscious effort to scale back their Hollywood careers and focus on their four young children. The decision highlights a recurring theme in their marriage: a fierce protection of their children's privacy and a dedication to their roles as parents, even at the peak of their careers.
Recent 2025 Public Appearances and Projects
Despite the planned career slowdown, the couple has still made a few high-profile appearances and project mentions in early 2025, keeping them in the public eye:
- Skipping the Met Gala: They were notably absent from the 2025 Met Gala, with sources suggesting the decision was part of their new commitment to family time, following a string of red-carpet events in the previous weeks. Their last attendance was in 2022.
- The 'Up' Halloween Costume: For Halloween 2025, the couple delighted fans by sharing a photo of their coordinating, 'Up'-inspired couples costume, leaving the kids at home for a rare night out. This playful moment reinforced their reputation as a fun-loving, connected couple.
- New Projects Buzz: Lively was promoting *Another Simple Favor*, the sequel to her 2018 hit, and was also mentioned in a legal battle concerning the director of her film *It Ends With Us*. Meanwhile, Reynolds' career move was highlighted when Lively praised his new documentary, confirming his continued involvement in content creation outside of major blockbusters.
- SNL50 Anniversary Special: The couple was photographed attending the SNL50: The Anniversary Special in February 2025, showing their continued presence at major industry events, even as they plan to slow down.
The Art of the Troll: Their Funniest Social Media Moments
Perhaps the most endearing aspect of the Reynolds-Lively relationship is their relentless, hilarious, and public "trolling" of each other on social media. This dynamic has made them the ultimate 'couple goals' for their authenticity and humor, generating countless LSI keywords like "celebrity trolling," "social media banter," and "relationship goals."
Their banter is a masterclass in spousal teasing, often involving strategically cropped photos, savage birthday messages, and mock disapproval of each other's work.
Three Iconic Trolling Moments That Defined Their Relationship
- The Infamous Birthday Crop (2017): For Blake Lively’s 30th birthday, Ryan Reynolds posted a photo of the two of them, but hilariously cropped his wife almost entirely out of the picture. The caption simply read, "Happy Birthday to my amazing wife." This single post launched a thousand memes and cemented their status as the king and queen of celebrity banter.
- The *Deadpool* Disapproval: Lively often pokes fun at her husband's dedication to his *Deadpool* character. On one occasion, she playfully mocked Reynolds for his physique and dedication to the role, suggesting she preferred him when he was less "superhero-fit." This continuous, light-hearted mockery of his biggest franchise is a running joke between them.
- The Unrecognizable Set Photo: When Lively was filming the spy thriller *The Rhythm Section*, she posted a photo of herself looking completely unrecognizable in character, with messy hair and dirty clothes. Reynolds reposted the photo with the caption, "No filter." This simple, sharp jab showcased his ability to find humor in any situation, even his wife's dramatic career changes.
This public display of playful disdain is actually a sign of their deep connection. It shows the world that their relationship is grounded in friendship, mutual respect, and a shared, self-deprecating sense of humor. They use their massive platform to show that even in Hollywood, marriage can be messy, fun, and utterly normal.
Topical Authority: The Business of Being Blake and Ryan
Beyond their acting careers, the couple has built significant topical authority through their entrepreneurial ventures and investments, further cementing their status as a Hollywood power duo. Ryan Reynolds is a major player in the business world, notably as the co-owner of Wrexham AFC, a Welsh football club, and the former owner of Aviation Gin. Blake Lively is the founder of the non-alcoholic mixer company, Betty Buzz, which she often promotes with the same playful energy as her husband’s brands.
Their combined business acumen and strategic use of their celebrity to promote their products—often featuring each other in hilarious, self-aware ads—demonstrates a unified brand strategy. They are not just actors; they are media personalities who understand modern marketing, using their relationship as a powerful, authentic, and highly engaging tool to sell products and build topical entities around "celebrity-owned brands," "Wrexham ownership," and "non-alcoholic beverages." This strategic alignment proves that even as they step back from acting in 2025, the "Blake and Ryan" brand will continue to thrive.
