RYAN Reynolds and Blake Lively are reportedly considering a move to the UK as the actress faces a rocky legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
The couple has been discussing the possibility of relocating, with Reynolds’ ownership of the Welsh soccer team Wrexham making the UK an appealing option.
Sources say Reynolds, 49, has a strong connection to the UK thanks to his football ventures and sees it as a fresh start for Lively, 38.
The Gossip Girl star is said to be keen on rebranding herself amid dwindling offers following her high-profile dispute with Baldoni.
A source told the Daily Mail that “Blake isn’t getting the offers” and that “she’s burned bridges” since the controversy erupted.
The couple’s four children remain a priority, with their schooling and friendships in the US complicating any immediate move.
The idea of splitting time between the UK and the States is also on the table.
Reynolds and Lively’s social life has cooled off recently, with insiders noting they’re “not as playful” and more preoccupied these days.
Meanwhile, a judge recently dismissed key claims in Lively’s sexual harassment case against Baldoni, leaving her in a precarious professional position.
A crisis communications expert commented, “From a reputational standpoint, this places Blake in a very precarious position.”
They added that Hollywood’s ruthless pace means “even established names can find themselves competing to stay relevant.”
As the trial looms next month, all eyes will be on how this legal saga impacts Lively’s future in the industry and whether a fresh start across the pond is on the cards.
