Blake Lively turned the Another Simple Favor screening into a family affair.
Blake, 37, was all smiles as she posed on the red carpet with her arms around sister Lori Lively, mom Elaine Lively, sister Robyn Lively and brother-in-law Bart Johnson, as well as the couple’s daughter, Kate. (Robyn and Johnson, who tied the knot in 1999, are also parents to sons Baylen and Wyatt.)
Kate, 20, stood between her parents as she rocked a black-and-white sleeveless polka dot dress, completing the look with red heels featuring floral accents. Her hair — which is the same color as Robyn’s — was styled in loose waves.
Blake stunned in a seafoam green gown with cutouts on the bust, styling her down in loose curls. Blake’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, donned a grey pinstripe suit, which he paired with a blue pocket square and brown shoes.

After the event, Reynolds, 48, reposted a sweet clip shared via the A Simple Favor Instagram account where he stood behind photographers with his phone out. “Blake, Blake! Over here!” Reynolds playfully shouted at his wife. “One more, just one more!”
“Did you just take her picture @vancityreynolds?” the caption read.
In a subsequent Instagram Story slide, Reynolds showed off his picture-taking skills — with a photo of Blake in motion and a man blocked part of the shot. “Nailed it,” Reynolds quipped.
While at the New York City screening, Blake’s costar Andrew Rannells dodged a question about her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. When Rannells, 46, was asked whether there were “some distractions” that affected the cast while promoting the movie, he replied, “No.”

“If you’re talking about the distractions of Allison Janney asking me to go shopping with her in the streets of Rome, I enjoyed it,” he said with a laugh in a clip shared via the Associated Press. “I enjoyed the shopping. I liked watching her shop. I would do it again, in any major city, Allison. Or even a small city.”
After the reporter asked again about any “other distractions,” Rannells brushed it off with another laugh. “No!” he said.
In December 2024, Blake filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni, in part, of sexual harassment. He denied all allegations and fired back in a $400 million lawsuit against Blake, Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane. The trio have since filed motions to be removed. The legal battle is ongoing and scheduled for trial in 2026.
Days after the screening, a Reddit thread claimed that Blake’s pal Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram. The user shared a screenshot of Kelce appearing to previously follow Reynolds, with alleged confirmation that he was “liking” posts in the past. Us Weekly can’t confirm whether Kelce ever followed Reynolds.
