Blake Lively Ryan Reynolds: Parents to four children, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are reportedly stepping away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood this holiday season to focus on family. After a year filled with professional highs and controversies, the couple is prioritizing time with each other and their kids.
Taking a Break from Hollywood’s Chaos
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have had a busy year, marked by box-office successes and some public controversies. According to a source close to the couple, they are now ready to slow down. “They’re jumping off the treadmill,” the source revealed, as the couple focuses on spending quality time with their family. They are planning to retreat to their country home during the holidays and are considering spending the foreseeable future away from New York City and Los Angeles.

Workaholics Turning Focus to Family
This shift comes after a summer that saw both Blake and Ryan facing intense public scrutiny. Lively was embroiled in a months-long controversy related to her rumored rift with It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni. The media spotlight continued into the summer with both Lively and Reynolds dealing with the pressure of their successful film careers.
Despite their busy work schedules, the couple has always prioritized their family. “They’re committed to their family and keeping it together,” a source said, particularly during the holiday season. After working tirelessly since the end of the SAG/AFTRA strike in November 2023, the couple is now ready to focus entirely on their children.
Balancing Work and Family
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have consistently made family a priority. Reynolds previously revealed that they took turns working to ensure that at least one of them was always home with the kids. “For many years, when my wife Blake would shoot a film, I would not shoot a film, and I would be with the kids, and vice versa,” Reynolds shared. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a “pretty normal schedule” for their children, which has become even more crucial now that they are in school.
The couple has a few upcoming projects in the pipeline, but their main focus right now is their family. Reynolds noted that being a present father is essential, and he cherished his “sabbatical” from filmmaking to spend time with his children in 2022 before starting work on Deadpool & Wolverine.
Why a Countryside Retreat is Necessary
Although life as parents to four young children is undoubtedly challenging, Reynolds acknowledged the importance of stepping back from the Hollywood grind. In July, he told the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, “It does get to you… And it’s OK to be like, ‘F***, I am dying.’ Because that’s gonna happen every other day. Think about what you would give in 40 years or 30 years to come back to enjoy this one moment.” This realization is driving the couple to take a much-needed break from Hollywood to embrace family time.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ decision to retreat to the countryside highlights their dedication to their family and the importance of living in the moment.
