LOS ANGELES — Persistent online speculation about an impending divorce between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has intensified in 2026, fueled largely by the actress's high-profile legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, yet the Hollywood power couple continues to project a united front through affectionate public appearances, supportive statements and direct dismissals of the gossip.

As of early May 2026, no divorce filings have appeared in any court records, and multiple sources close to the pair describe their marriage as intact and strong despite the intense media scrutiny surrounding Lively's lawsuit. The couple, who share four young children, marked 14 years together this year and show no signs of separation.

Rumors gained significant traction in March and April as coverage of Lively's lawsuit against her "It Ends With Us" co-star and director dominated headlines. Tabloid stories and social media speculation suggested strain in the marriage, with some outlets claiming the couple was "living apart" or that Reynolds felt burdened by the legal drama. Both stars have pushed back firmly.

In a rare public comment during an April interview, Reynolds expressed deep pride in his wife. "I've never in my life been more proud of my wife," he told "Today" host Willie Geist. "People have no idea what's really going on... the illusion behind so much of this stuff." His remarks directly countered narratives of marital discord while highlighting Lively's integrity amid the dispute.
