World Cup Appearance
Blake Lively made an appearance at the FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday, enjoying the game with a group of friends. The actress posted a cheerful selfie on her Instagram Stories, capturing the moment as Spain faced Argentina, with Spain winning 1-0. Lively sported a striped button-up shirt over a white tank top, paired with light-wash jeans and sunglasses.
Wedding Snub
Earlier this month, Lively was noticeably absent from the wedding of her former close friend Taylor Swift to Travis Kelce, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The star-studded event included numerous celebrities, but Lively was not among the guests.
Friendship Fallout
The fallout between Lively and Swift reportedly stems from Lively’s legal issues involving director Justin Baldoni. A source indicated that Swift needed space from Lively after being drawn into the legal battle. This situation has left Swift feeling hurt and distanced from Lively, leading to her decision not to extend a wedding invitation.
Public Life
Despite the tensions, Lively has remained active in public life since settling her legal case in May. She has attended various events, including a Fendi gathering, and continues to share moments with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, on social media. Reynolds has been supportive throughout the legal challenges, and Lively recently referred to him as the “father of all of my favorite children” in an Instagram post.
