Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively Are Skipping the Golden Globes—But It’s Not Because of Justin Baldoni

They will be missed

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are known for many things, from their priceless banter to their super-telling wardrobe choices. Although they’re used to being in the public eye, it seems they’re taking some time for themselves in 2025. 

According to Deadline, Lively and Reynolds will *not* attend the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards. This might surprise some fans because Reynolds's film, Deadpool & Wolverine, is nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Still, the couple has been making headlines as of late—and not in a good way.

I’m referring to the ongoing legal battle between Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni. Despite the controversy, Lively’s lack of attendance at the Golden Globes doesn’t have anything to do with her lawsuit.

Per the outlet, this decision was made long before the latest legal filings. In fact, Reynolds’s Deadpool & Wolverine co-star, Hugh Jackman, isn’t attending the Golden Globes either.

Lively and Baldoni’s issues have been making headlines ever since It Ends With Us premiered in August 2024. Given the ongoing drama, it would be an obvious topic for comedian Nikki Glaser, who’s hosting the 2025 Golden Globes. However, Glaser previously revealed that she will steer clear of the subject. 

“I think the Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni thing is such a hot-button thing right now that even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things, even though I would never be,” she told Yahoo! Entertainment

There’s always next year.
