RYAN Reynolds and Blake Lively fans have accused the celebrity couple of being performative on the red carpet after the actress denied divorce rumors.
On Monday, the pair were photographed while attending the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere after-party in New York City.

Ryan, 47, was seen sporting an unbuttoned, light blue silk shirt over a white tank top as he arrived at the event.
He paired the form-fitting top with navy blue pants and completed the look with a subtle silver chain around his neck.
The If actor clasped his wife’s hand while scowling at photographers as the couple approached the venue.
Blake, 36, was all smiles as she arrived at the after-party.

The Town actress wore a skintight, sleeveless red and blue dress that featured red lace flowers and ruffles near the chest and at the hem.
The red carpet photos were posted on a pop culture Reddit board, where one critic wrote, “For some reason all of the Deadpool and Wolverine press has all felt so fake? And just bad?
“Maybe it’s because of Ryan Reynolds feeling increasingly fake? Or maybe the low-effort movies as of late that it feels like this is just another cash grab?” they added,
The Redditor continued, “I want artistry and people that want to produce art, not people only wanting money (which Reynolds seems to have switched from the former to the latter).”
Earlier that day, the Age of Adaline actress clapped back at a fan who claimed to have heard “rumors going around that” she and husband Reynolds “got divorced.”
The fan commented on her Instagram post about her husband’s movie Deadpool & Wolverine, “You and Ryan need to post more of each other, there were rumors going around that you two got divorced and I didn’t believe it because you two are literally the perfect couple.”
Blake cheekily replied, “Haha they wish.”
The post showed the mother of four and Ryan kissing on the set of his new movie, where he is in full Deadpool makeup.
NAME GAME
At the premiere, Ryan revealed the name of his and Blake’s youngest child 16 months after the baby was born.
The Gossip Girl actress appeared to confirm she and Ryan had welcomed their fourth child together in an Instagram post last February.

In May, Ryan teased the name of their toddler during an appearance on the Today show after hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb inquired about the newest member of his family.
Almost a year and a half since the child was born, Ryan confirmed the baby’s name is Olin while speaking at the New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine on Monday night.
“I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here,” Ryan began his speech at the David H. Koch Theater. “Her outfit is amazing, spoiler alert.”
Blake paid tribute to the iconic Deadpool suit worn by Ryan in the Marvel movies, as she walked the red carpet in a skin-tight, off-shoulder catsuit from Atelier Versace.
Ryan also shouted out his children at the premiere, adding, “I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here: I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing – that is, the contents of this movie – that happens in your wondrous life.”
Olin is a Nordic-inspired name that means “ancestor’s heir” or “to inherit.”
Blake and Ryan – who also share three daughters James, 9; Inez, 7; and Betty – have not confirmed the baby’s gender.
BABY NUMBER 4
Blake announced that she and Ryan were expecting their fourth child together in September 2022.
The actress, who will next be seen in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s romance novel It Ends with Us, showed off her baby bump during an appearance at the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit.
On Super Bowl Sunday last February, Blake seemingly revealed she had given birth to Olin with an Instagram post that revealed she no longer had the baby bump.
“Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023. Been busy,” she captioned her post, which included a photograph of her standing with Ryan and his mother, Tammy Reynolds.

Lady Deadpool is set to appear, but her identity has not been revealed yet.
In June 2023, Ryan officially confirmed that Blake had given birth to their fourth child together.
Announcing his new series Bedtime Stories with Ryan on X, the Deadpool star quipped, “The idea for a show made to help everyone fall asleep was born the same day as my fourth child.”
During an appearance on the Today show earlier this year, Ryan joked he and Blake were “still waiting” for Taylor Swift to name their baby after Savannah joked the Grammy-winner “keeps dropping it into lyrics” of her songs.
The talk show host was seemingly referring to Swift’s hit Betty from her 2020 album Folklore because the song includes the names of Ryan and Blake’s three daughters.
When asked whether Swift, who is close friends with the couple, is likely to name-drop their fourth child on her new album The Tortured Poets Department, Ryan replied, “We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child’s name is, and I’ll say this: We’re still waiting.”
