Blake Lively has his hands full with three children. Has Ryan Reynolds' wife quit acting?
Actress Blake Lively (33) made her international breakthrough with the US series "Gossip Girl" (2007-2012). Through her character Serena van der Woodsen, an It girl on the Upper East Side in New York, she also became a worldwide fashion model. After the series ended, some film roles followed. However, her wedding with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds (43, "Deadpool"), with whom she now has three daughters, caused a stir. Since then, the couple has generated a lot of headlines with their mutual jokes on social media.
In July, for example, in the comments of a video on her husband's Instagram page, Blake Lively joked that the clip "just got her pregnant". Reynolds responded in the style of an e-mail out-of-office notice: As of July 22, he would "never be in the office for eternity." The Hollywood star is now known to be busy in front of the camera. His wife's last film, "Just a Little Favor", was shown in cinemas in Germany at the end of 2018 and is now on German free TV. This year "The Rhythm Section – Zeit der Rache" was only released as video-on-demand in this country. But supplies are provided.
