Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Marriage Cracks After “It Ends With Us Part 2” Scandal — Hollywood Power Couple in Crisis

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ seemingly unbreakable 12-year marriage is reportedly on the rocks following the explosive fallout from It Ends With Us Part 2. The couple, long considered one of Hollywood’s most solid pairings, has been hit by intense behind-the-scenes drama that insiders say has pushed them to the brink.

According to multiple sources close to the production, tensions erupted during filming of the sequel when Lively allegedly clashed with director and co-star Justin Baldoni over creative control and on-set behavior. Reynolds, who had been vocal in supporting his wife during the first film’s promotion, reportedly grew frustrated when Lively refused to step back from the project despite mounting public backlash. “Ryan felt the sequel was damaging her brand and their family’s privacy,” one insider told ᴅᴇᴀᴅline. “They’ve been arguing non-stop since March.”

The strain became visible at the May 2026 Met Gala, where the couple arrived separately and left early without posing together — a rare sight for the usually inseparable pair. Social media erupted with #BlakeRyanSplit trending worldwide after eagle-eyed fans noticed the lack of matching wedding rings in recent paparazzi sH๏τs.

Insiders claim Reynolds has moved into the couple’s New York apartment while Lively remains at their Connecticut estate with their four children. “They’re trying to keep it together for the kids, but the trust is broken,” a source close to Reynolds said. “The It Ends With Us drama was the final straw.”

With Part 2 set for release in December 2026, the question now is whether the couple can survive the very project that once brought them closer together — or if Hollywood’s golden marriage has finally hit its breaking point.
