NEW YORK — Persistent online speculation about an impending divorce between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has intensified in 2026, largely fueled by Lively's high-profile legal battle with Justin Baldoni, yet the Hollywood power couple continues to project unity through affectionate public appearances, supportive statements and direct dismissals that suggest the gossip remains firmly in the realm of unverified rumors.

As of mid-May 2026, no divorce filings have appeared in court records, and multiple sources close to the pair describe their marriage as intact despite intense media scrutiny surrounding Lively's lawsuit. The couple, married since September 2012, shares four children — James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 3 — and maintains homes in New York and California.

Rumors gained traction earlier this year when Lively attended events solo and faced questions tied to her lawsuit against Baldoni, her "It Ends With Us" co-star and director. Online commentators speculated that the stress of the legal fight, which settled on May 4, 2026, just before trial, might strain the marriage. However, Reynolds publicly praised his wife in a rare statement, calling her "kind & fearless" in a Mother's Day tribute and expressing pride in her integrity during the dispute.
