Blake Lively is ringing in her 37th birthday with a special weekend getaway in Rhode Island alongside her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The couple, who recently made headlines for their simultaneous box office successes, enjoyed a low-key and affectionate celebration as they marked the occasion.
On August 24, just a day before Lively’s birthday, the pair were seen sharing a tender kiss during their Rhode Island retreat. Reynolds, 47, sported a relaxed look with dark sunglasses, a baseball hat, and a button-down shirt. Lively complemented her casual outfit with an orange halter top and a chic bun hairstyle.
The couple’s Rhode Island trip coincided with sightings of their close friends Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in the same area. Swift and Kelce, both 34, were captured enjoying a break from their busy schedules—Kelce with the Kansas City Chiefs and Swift with the European leg of her Eras Tour.

Lively and Swift’s friendship has spanned nearly a decade, with Swift having previously supported Lively during the 2024 Super Bowl. The two stars have maintained a close bond over the years, often seen together at various events.
The celebration comes on the heels of a notable achievement for Lively and Reynolds. Their respective films, It Ends with Us and Deadpool & Wolverine, recently topped the box office simultaneously—an unprecedented feat for a married couple in over 30 years. This marks the first time since 1990, when Bruce Willis and Demi Moore achieved similar success, that a couple’s films have led the box office together. It Ends with Us raked in over $50 million domestically during its opening weekend, while Deadpool & Wolverine earned $54.2 million.
In a light-hearted interview on Sunday Today with Willie Geist, Reynolds joked about the competitive nature of their box office success, saying, “It’s the only time in my life I’ve ever dreamt of coming in second.” He also praised their relationship, stating, “It’s always been the one kind of constant with Blake and I: We really root for each other.”
Lively echoed this sentiment in an interview with E! News at the premiere of It Ends with Us, highlighting how they support each other’s careers. She revealed that Reynolds even contributed to writing a memorable scene in the film.
Despite their professional successes, the couple has faced some behind-the-scenes drama. Reports indicate there were creative differences between It Ends with Us director and star Justin Baldoni and the film’s cast, including Lively. These clashes reportedly led to different versions of the film being produced.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds continue to enjoy both personal and professional milestones, proving their partnership remains as strong as ever.
