During his appearance on Today’s Sunday Sitdown Live, Reynolds revealed that he fully supports his wife, but chose not to speak about the legal details. When host Willie Geist asked how his family was dealing with the public speculation amid the ongoing case, he said, "You really see the illusion behind so much of this stuff, digital life versus real life."
The Deadpool star also showered praise on his wife and shared that he admires her strength and character. "Really, without getting into too much, I have never in my life been more proud of my wife," he said. "People have no idea what is really going on.

About the legal battle
Lively and Baldoni's legal battle dates back to 2024 after the actress filed a lawsuit accusing him of harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign during the filming of It Ends With Us. In response, Baldoni filed a countersuit, denying the allegations.
As per the latest update on the case, earlier this month, a US federal judge dismissed several of Lively’s allegations, including sexual harassment, defamation, and conspiracy, citing insufficient legal grounds.
With this, only three key allegations were allowed to proceed, which are breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation. It is scheduled to be heard in a New York civil trial on May 18.
Reynolds stands with his wife
Despite the legal battle, the couple has been spotted together at public outings several times in recent months, including at a Wrexham football match and a Broadway show. Reynolds and Lively got married in 2012 and share four children.
