Blake Lively kisses Ryan Reynolds at Taylor Swift’s mansion in first sighting of actress amid ‘It Ends With Us’ drama
Blake Lively emerged for the first time amid the ongoing “It Ends With Us” drama.
The “Gossip Girl” star, 36, was photographed kissing her husband, Ryan Reynolds, outside of friend Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion during a star-studded pool party on Saturday.
The actress wore a pair of floral shorts and a coral bikini top in the photos as she packed on the PDA with the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star, who wore a pink short-sleeved button up shirt and a blue cap.

This new sighting marks the first time Lively has been seen in public since she was called out by a reporter who said she contemplated quitting journalism altogether after having an awkward interaction with the actress in 2016.
During the sit-down interview, Lively made a snarky comment about Norwegian reporter Kjersti Flaa’s “bump” after she congratulated a then-pregnant Lively on her impending arrival.
The journalist, however, was not pregnant at the time of their chat.
Earlier this month, Lively faced criticism after clips from her past interviews started circulating online. Patriot Pics / BACKGRID

Flaa has since revealed that she’s infertile, calling the “nightmare” interview “the most uncomfortable … situation.”
Lively was also called out earlier this week for her repeated use of transgender slurs in past interviews that recently resurfaced amid rumors of behind-the-scenes drama between her and her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.
A source previously told Page Six Baldoni made Lively feel “uncomfortable” — especially about her weight after she gave birth to her fourth child, son Olin — while working together on the movie.

Earlier this month, another insider told us Lively was “impatient” on set, creating “obvious” tension among the cast as the two continued to butt heads over the final edit of the flick.
The director, who has since said he thinks Lively should probably direct the sequel film if one ever comes to fruition, also reportedly felt “sidelined” and stifled creatively by Lively’s decisions concerning the movie.
It remains unclear if Baldoni will reprise his role in the potential follow-up film.
