The latest wave of speculation didn't come out of nowhere.Blake Lively's ongoing legal battlewith herIt Ends With Usco-star and director Justin Baldoni has kept her in the headlines for months. The case, which includes serious allegations and a high-stakes countersuit, has added visible pressure to her public life.

At the same time, Reynolds has been juggling a packed schedule, including film commitments tied to theDeadpool & Wolverinefranchise and his business ventures.

Reports of the couple spending more time apart, along with fewer red carpet appearances together, have fuelled talk that their relationship may be strained.

Since meeting on the set ofGreen Lantern, the couple has built a reputation for keeping their personal life grounded despite global fame. They share four children and have consistently said they plan their work schedules carefully to avoid being apart for long stretches.

They've also made a point of keeping their kids out of the spotlight, splitting time between homes and focusing on a stable routine. Over the years, both have spoken openly about prioritising family over career decisions when needed.

That approach hasn't changed, even as both continue to lead high-profile projects.

The legal fight involving Blake Lively has become one of the biggest factors shaping public perception right now. Court proceedings, media coverage, and the scale of the claims have created a constant spotlight.
