The show must go on.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds enjoyed a fun date night at an off-Broadway show to support their close friend Hugh Jackman as the actress’s legal drama with Justin Baldoni rages on.
The “Gossip Girl” alum and the “Deadpool” star stepped out to see “Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes” at the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City on Tuesday night.
Jackman stars opposite Ella Beatty — the daughter of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty — in the award-winning show by Canadian playwright Hannah Moscovitch.
The couple put on a united front for the evening, holding hands and smiling at each other while waking into the theater.
Lively, 37, wore an all-leather ensemble, studded boots and a patchwork Chanel purse for the outing.
Reynolds, 48, sported a maroon jacket layered over a white button-down shirt, camel slacks and white sneakers.
They were photographed congratulating Jackman, 56, with hugs backstage after the show.
Earlier in the day, Lively was spotted in the Big Apple solo while wearing a Judith Leiber Pepperoni Pizza purse ($5,700).
This weekend, the “A Simple Favor” star appeared to be in high spirits while attending the NYC premiere of her sequel, “Another Simple Favor.”
Unfortunately, Lively suffered a wardrobe malfunction when her spray tan rubbed off on her light blue gown.
She was joined by Reynolds for the red carpet appearance, during which a body language expert claimed she had a “hypnotic effect” over the Marvel actor.
Reynolds has been fully supportive of his wife after she sued Baldoni, her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, for sexual harassment in December 2024.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum, 41, has denied the accusations and hit back with his own $400 million defamation lawsuit against the couple.
Jackman, as well as Lively’s close pal Taylor Swift, reportedly will be subpoenaed in the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star’s legal war with Baldoni.
