Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are taking their legal battle with Justin Baldoni to the forefront, but they’re reportedly in a lot of trouble on the inside.
The 38-year-old actress who sued her co-star Justin Baldoni for misconduct on the set of their movie, It ends with usrarely talks about the struggles behind his legal problems, but one of his friends recently expressed support.
Lively and Reynolds’ friend Humphrey Ker explained how the dead Pool The 49-year-old actor and his wife regularly go out to watch his team play soccer because it helps them feel normal amid the public scrutiny surrounding their case.
“Ryan and Blake have obviously been put under a bit of strain over the last 18 months with all this stuff and are still going through it in some ways,” Ker said in an interview with The telegraph.
Ker, an executive on Reynolds’ team, added: “It waxes and wanes in the public interest. But things continue to rumble in the background.”
He went on to note that being with the team has become an “escapism” for the couple, as they battle constant public speculation.
This comes after Colleen Hoover, the author of the book “It ends with us,” which served as the source material for Lively’s film, talked about the legal drama.
Hoover said she is now “embarrassed” to be associated with the book because of the negative light in which it has been portrayed since the trial began, and so she is trying to keep her distance from the case.
