Though there once was a time when Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were equally adored by fans, but that time has passed. Now, all the fan love that made them one of America’s favorite couples has been replaced with hate towards Blake Lively. While Blake makes headlines for her It Ends With Us drama with Justin Baldoni, Ryan Reynolds has fallen into the shadow of his wife, and it looks like he’s trying to escape.
Eagle-eyed fans realized that Reynolds doesn’t have even a photo of his wife on his Instagram in the last year. Is he trying to detach himself from all the negative press? Some fans think so. Keep reading for more information.

Ryan Reynolds Erases Blake Lively From Instagram
YouTuber Daily Dose of Dana posted a video pointing out all the evidence that Reynolds is trying to erase his wife—at least from his social media. It all started when fans realized that Ryan didn't post anything for his wife on her birthday on August 25th. Then, when looking into his profile a little more, she realized that Blake hasn't been featured on her husband's profile in over a year.
The last post featuring Blake was on July 22, 2024, which was actually posted by Blake Lively through a collaboration post with him. This post comes before any of the It Ends With Us drama, back when Ryan and Blake were one of the it-couples.
However, after some more internet sleuthing, Daily Dose of Dana found a People article from August 2024 that detailed the sweet birthday message Ryan Reynolds posted on his Instagram feed for Blake Lively's birthday. But, if you head to Ryan's profile on Instagram, the post doesn't exist anymore.
Why is Ryan deleting photos of Blake Lively? Is Blake's It Ends With Us drama costing her more than her fanbase and her career? Is it costing her her husband?
Social Media Reactions
In Daily Dose of Dana's comment section, fans voiced their agreement, while others were surprised, but not shocked, given Reynolds' sometimes arrogant attitude. "Hilarious..." one person wrote. "He's so desperate to save himself. He's the guy who steals a kid to get a spot on the lifeboat in Titanic."
"He's in full 'need to save myself' desperation mode," another person agreed.
"He is divorcing her after the trial to save his own career!" chimed in a third. "I have been saying it for a while!"
"I still think Blake Lively falling for Justin Baldoni and Ryan Reynolds finding out about it explains everything," added a fourth.
"I'm pretty sure before Christmas Ryan posted photos of him and Blake," another user wrote. "He deleted them ALL. Whelp..."
