Reynolds's wife, Blake Lively, is currently in some legal drama with former co-star Justin Baldoni. Forbes reported that in December of 2024, Lively filed a complaint to the California Civil Rights Department that Baldoni invaded her privacy.

According to the complaint, Lively stated that Baldoni entered her makeup trailer uninvited while the actress was undressed.

Since that complaint was filed, a slew of drama has unfolded, which includes text messages sent between the two parties involved.

All may not be great in the Reynolds-Lively camp at the moment, but at least Reynolds is able to take a shot at himself.
