Ryan Reynolds and wife Blake Lively share rare photo from date night in NYC – after It Ends With Us backlash
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are keeping their love alive, and the actor has the selfie to prove it.
The Deadpool & Wolverine actor, 47, shared a sweet photo taken during a romantic date night with his longtime husband at Café Chelsea in New York City.
The Emmy winner posted a photo of the couple sharing a loved-up moment from their window seat at the French Bistro at Hotel Chelsea in Midtown.
Reynolds, who tagged the restaurant in the photo, looked relaxed in a turquoise sweater and gold-rimmed glasses.
The IF star’s clean-shaven face made him look much younger than someone approaching the half-century mark.

Lively, 36, donned a leathery black jacket and left her long, wavy hair in loose layers.
She wore natural-looking makeup with a pink lip and accessorized with chunky gold hoop earrings.
Over the summer, Lively came under fire for her light-hearted approach to promoting her film It Ends with Us, which focuses on domestic violence and ends the cycle of abuse.
In August, a number of unearthed past interviews with Lively were described as “hard to watch” due to her alleged “rude” behavior, including her repeated use of transphobic slurs and calling her Gossip Girl co-stars “monkeys” .
The romantic getaway comes just weeks after the couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on September 9.
The pair first met on the set of 2011’s Green Lantern, and the rest is history.
They married in 2012 and have since welcomed four children; daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, Betty, four and son Olin, one.
In a July appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Reynolds revealed that he and his wife spend much of their date nights talking about their children.

“We went on a date the other day and our oldest was going to kill us,” the actor told the audience.
‘Just because you’re going on a date; just to maintain the relationship. And we did, and the funny thing is, we just talked about it the whole time we were there [our kids].’
Lively, who shares the same entrepreneurial spirit as her husband, recently launched her own hair care line, Blake Brown Beauty.
The products, including shampoos, hair masks and styling products, are sold online or at Target. The brand is vegan and not tested on animals.

Meanwhile, Reynolds is promoting the arrival of Deadpool & Wolverine on DVD and on-demand streaming.
The action film is the second most successful of 2024, with worldwide earnings of $1.3 billion to date, just behind Inside Out 2, which has a total of $1.7 billion.
