Especially not on her birthday. Blake celebrated her 37th at Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion over the August 24 weekend with Ryan Reynolds and their daughters, James, Inez, Betty, 4, and son Olin.
The Gossip Girl alum hasn’t posted on Instagram since August 8, one day before It Ends With Us hit theaters.
Her last post was a video featuring girl talk amongst costars Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer, as well as author Colleen Hoover, who wrote the novel the film was based on.
Others blasted Blake for some of her interviews for the movie, as well as resurfaced ones from previous films where she came across as somewhat cold. One featured The Shallows star being interviewed by Norwegian entertainment journalist Kjersti Flaa for 2016’s Cafe Society. The reporter congratulated the Blake on her “little bump,” as she had just revealed her pregnancy. She snarked back to the not-pregnant reporter, “Congratulations on your little bump.”
The A Simple Favor star fueled rumors of behind-the-scenes tensions when she didn’t pose with her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin, 40, at the film’s New York City premiere on August 6. Blake also didn’t do any press interviews alongside the Jane the Virgin alum, who played the lead opposite her, despite doing some with costar Brandon Sklenar.
“The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that, but you now,” the actress told E! News.
Blake added, “We help each other, He works on everything I do. I work on everything he does. So, his wins, his celebrations are mine and mine are his.” The movie’s screenwriter, Christy Hall, told People on August 8 that she was unaware of the script changes by Ryan.
Justin hinted that he didn’t want to be part of the sequel, as Colleen followed up her novel with the follow-up, It Starts With Us. “I think there are better people for that one,” he told Entertainment Tonight at the film’s NYC premiere. “I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct. That’s what I think.”
