Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are considering moving across the pond, according to a new report.
As her legal battle with Justin Baldoni intensifies, the couple is “discussing moving to the UK,” a source told the Daily Mail on Thursday.
“Ryan has had great success with[Welsh football club]Wrexham, so he has a huge affinity for the UK,” the source added, noting that Lively, 38, “could rebrand there.”
The “Gossip Girl” alum reportedly “believes there are top-notch filmmakers who will give her a second chance.”
The outlet claimed that “most people in the industry” are “shunning” Lively over her heated feud with her Seraph of the End co-star.
Notably, Baldoni, 42, and Lively are scheduled to go on trial next month.
“Blake hasn’t received any offers,” another source claimed. “Ever since the Baldoni drama exploded, there hasn’t been the same kind of interest in her anywhere. She’s built bridges.”
While there has been talk of moving to Wales or “splitting their time more between Wales and the United States,” Lively and Reynolds want to prioritize their four children.
“They think long and hard about their future because their children’s schooling and friends are in America,” the newspaper claimed, calling the “Shallows” star “a truly wonderful mother.”
She and Reynolds, 49, are parents to daughters James, Ines and Betty and son Olin.
According to the Daily Mail, the Green Lantern co-stars are “tired” and “not as cheerful” as they used to be, with one source saying: “[They]aren’t very sociable these days. … They’re just preoccupied.”
Representatives for Lively and Reynolds did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The latter made headlines for suing Baldoni in December 2024, four months after It Ends With Us was released in theaters.
Earlier this month, a judge dismissed Lively’s sexual harassment, defamation and conspiracy claims after the court ruled that she was an independent contractor and not an employee.
However, Lively’s claims of breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting retaliation are moving forward.
Brand specialist Kayley Cornelius said on April 3 that Lively will have a “challenging path” in Hollywood as the drama unfolds.
“There is a real risk that she may have a hard time getting major roles or brand deals in the future,” the PR guru explained. “The impact of cancel culture and increased scrutiny has reduced the willingness to take risks on talent that may be considered controversial or commercially uncertain.”
Cornelius declared that “traditional names” like Lively are “no longer untouchable” in the wake of the scandal.
