Blake Lively appeared in high spirits alongside husband Ryan Reynolds as the pair were spotted out in New York City this week, continuing their return to the public eye.
The 38-year-old actress, who recently attended the World Cup Final after Taylor Swift’s wedding snub, was photographed leaving the couple’s apartment in the busy city on Thursday with the 49-year-old Deadpool star, with both carrying expensive Hermes bags.
The former Gossip Girl star smiled for the cameras in a blue-striped shirt layered over a simple white top.
Lively completed the casual-chic outfit with denim jeans and open-toed blue pumps finished with a bow detail across the top.
Her long blonde hair was swept into a side part and fell past her shoulders in soft, relaxed waves.
She added a polished touch with statement rings, a wristwatch and a colorful anklet.

Reynolds did not accompany his wife to the sports game and instead made an appearance at Fanatics Fest in NYC.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, were also snubbed from Swift’s wedding after the singer had been dragged into the lawsuit.
Swift and Lively had been close for many years, with the actress previously joining the Grammy winner at the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
The Love Story hitmaker and Travis Kelce said ‘I do’ in front of 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
At the time of the nuptials, Lively and Reynolds were spotted 300 miles away in Lake Placid, New York, TMZ reported.
A source also told the Daily Mail that the actress is ‘sad and a little bit p***ed. No, a lot p***ed.’
‘That friendship was over before but if there was hope, it’s gone. They’ll never be friends again.’

‘She had sort of hoped that despite everything, their history was enough that they’d be included, but that’s not the way it went.’
Another insider stated, ‘The guest list is so massive that Blake’s absence becomes impossible to ignore. People will notice immediately.’
Following the wedding, Lively and Reynolds were later seen spending time in the actor’s home country of Canada.
The couple have also been brushing aside the recent lawsuit with Baldoni, with the actress making other public appearances such as at the Met Gala in May.
Also this month, Baldoni broke his nearly two-year silence after his lawsuit with Lively was settled. He was joined by his wife Emily as they addressed fans in an Instagram video.
The pair, who have been married since 2013, accused Lively of causing them ‘pain’ over ‘untruthful’ claims.
Baldoni, who starred in and directed the 2024 film It Ends With Us with Lively, explained the reason they hadn’t spoken yet was because ‘something was telling us not to.’

‘And we were talking about it and feeling into it and praying about it,’ he continued, while his wife added, ‘…And this feels like the moment.’
Emily also shared, ‘But what does feel important is that we can genuinely say that we are sitting here today feeling immense gratitude for so many things and so many people and so many things that have happened to us.’
Baldoni stated that what saved them was ‘gratitude.’
‘I also feel that it’s important as we say that, in that gratitude, it doesn’t negate the injustice and the pain that we have also felt in the last few years,’ Emily expressed in a serious tone.
‘And we’ve had to wrestle with so many things and try to understand things like how could something like this even happen. Let alone disguise as a fight for women. So much to unpack.’
She admitted that their family has been dealing with ‘a lot of trauma’ which ‘also makes it hard to speak.’
Baldoni added, ‘What I will say is that there have been so many painful things that have been spoken into existence…’
His wife chimed in with, ‘Untruthful,’ as Baldoni continued, ‘…over the last couple years.’
