Blake Lively revealed her and husband Ryan Reynolds’ four children have been her “lifeline” amid her ongoing legal feud with Justin Baldoni.
“It’s no surprise, I have had a pretty intense year. They’re just my lifeline. No matter what day I am having,” the “Gossip Girl” alum said during her Thursday night appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” according to an audience member who attended the taping.
“I have to be Disney Land for them. It’s the best, it’s chaos,” she further said of daughters James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and son Olin, 2.
Lively, 37, added that she couldn’t really discuss too much about her and Baldoni’s ongoing legal battle, but called it one of the “lowest lows of my life.”
“I see so many women around afraid to speak, especially now, afraid to share their experience. Fear is by design, it’s what keeps us silent,” she added.
“But I also acknowledge that many people don’t have the opportunity to speak so I do feel fortunate that I have been able to.”
The mom of four revealed her most recent pregnancy by debuting her baby bump at Forbes Power Women’s Summit in May 2022.
The famous parents did not officially announce their fourth baby’s arrival. However, Page Six exclusively confirmed the newborn’s birth in February 2023.
The baby boy was revealed the following month after Ryan was photographed carrying an infant in a white onesie at a Wrexham versus York City soccer match.
The “Proposal” star, 48, revealed their fourth baby’s name in July 2024 at the “Deadpool & Wolverine” premiere. Reynolds shared that they welcomed “a son” later that month.
The family gave another rare look at two of their four children in the Marvel film as Inez and baby Olin starred alongside their parents as Kid Pool and Baby Pool.
In December 2024, Ryan acknowledged his children’s privileged upbringing, admitting that he still wants to give them “as normal a life as possible.”
“I try not to impose upon them the difference in their childhood to my childhood or my wife’s childhood,” he told the Hollywood Reporter at the time.
“We both grew up very working class, and I remember when they were very young, I used to say or think, like, ‘Oh God, I would never have had a gift like this when I was a kid,’ or, ‘I never would’ve had this luxury of getting takeout,’ or whatever.”
The “Another Simple Favor” star and Reynolds started dating in 2011, one year after they met on the set of “Green Lantern.”
They tied the knot in a South Carolina plantation wedding in September 2012.
