Lively jokes that Reynolds is supporting her at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively made a dazzling appearance in New York City on July 22 for the world premiere of Reynolds’ highly anticipated Marvel movie, Deadpool & Wolverine.
The star-studded event marked another milestone for the couple, who have been married since 2012.
Lively, always quick with a quip, humorously told PEOPLE that she felt like Reynolds was her “plus one” at the premiere.
“He’s here supporting me, and I’m very grateful for his support tonight,” the 36-year-old actress said with a laugh. Reynolds, 47, who stars as Deadpool in the franchise, stood by her side, smiling at the playful banter.
The premiere was a culmination of a busy summer press tour for Deadpool & Wolverine. Reynolds, alongside his co-star Hugh Jackman, has been jet-setting across the globe to promote the movie, making stops in London, Berlin, Seoul, and Shanghai.
Despite not attending much of the press tour, Lively has been a constant presence in Reynolds’ life, often giving him a shout-out on social media.
On July 13, Lively posted a selfie with Reynolds on her Instagram Story, captioning it humorously, “Stop missing me on your press tour. Get out there and hustle boy,” before adding, “(Which is girl code for don’t ever stop missing me for a second).”
Her playful support has been a hallmark of their relationship, endearing them to fans worldwide.
Reynolds and Lively also managed to take a break from the hectic press schedule to enjoy a night out at their best friend Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour in Madrid earlier this summer.
The couple, along with three of their children, were spotted by fans enjoying the concert, even sharing a kiss while Swift performed her romantic hit “Lover.”
In addition to her social media presence, Lively has continued to show her love and support for Reynolds and his latest film in more ways than one. Earlier today, she posted an Instagram story highlighting how she believes she influenced Reynold’s character in the Deadpool franchise.
“Tell me Deadpool is married to a millennial girl in real life without telling me,” Lively said to the camera, followed by clips of “millennial girl” moments in the films, including references to Harry Potter, Céline Dion dance breaks, and Judy Bloom call-outs.
While Deadpool & Wolverine is set to hit theaters on July 26, Lively is gearing up for her own premiere later this summer. The highly anticipated film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel It Ends With Us will be released on August 9.
Lively has been promoting the film on her social media, expressing her excitement and pride in the project. On July 22, she posted on Instagram, “I should be competitive because @itendswithusmovie is coming out in 3 weeks. But, I’ve never been more proud. And I’ve given birth 4 times.”
The couple’s playful dynamic and mutual support were on full display at the red carpet event. Reynolds, looking dapper in a classic suit, and Lively, stunning as always, engaged with fans and photographers, sharing laughs and affectionate glances.
Their chemistry and genuine affection for each other have made them one of Hollywood’s favorite couples.
Reynolds and Jackman’s chemistry is also a major draw for fans of the Deadpool franchise. The pairing of Deadpool and Wolverine promises a film filled with action, humor, and the trademark irreverence that has made the series so popular.
Fans have eagerly awaited the film’s release, and the global press tour has only heightened the anticipation.
As the couple continues to balance their successful careers and family life, they remain a source of inspiration for many.
Their ability to support each other’s endeavors while maintaining a sense of humor and down-to-earth approach to fame is part of what makes them so relatable and beloved.
With Deadpool & Wolverine set to take the box office by storm and It Ends With Us following closely behind, it’s clear that both Reynolds and Lively have an exciting summer ahead.
