Blake Lively calls Ryan Reynolds 'most supportive husband'... as Justin Baldoni lawsuit approaches 6th month mark
Blake Lively is moving forward in spite of the ongoing drama with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
The A Simple Favor star, 37, launched a trio of hair and body scents from her beauty line Blake Brown that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, 48, loves.
'He legitimately uses [the products],' she wrote via Instagram. 'His favorite is the Wild Nectar.
'I thought he was just being the best and most supportive husband, but he genuinely loves to wear them,' she said.
And it doesn't hurt that the hair and body mists smell 'so yummy and sexy' on him.
Blake also debuted two other mists: Bergamot Woods, and Sandalwood Vanille.
This comes as her lawsuit with Justin Baldoni heads towards its six month anniversary; she first filed on December 31, 2024
'His skin picks up the more woody and masculine notes, with the lighter sweetness falling in the background, creating an overall smoothness,' Lively continued, noting that the scent goes well his cologne.
'It's amazing how versatile fragrance can be and how it adapts to the wearer for any age and gender,' Lively continued.
'Smelling so differently on him than me and different on us than our mom or our teenage family members.'
The three news mists — Wild Nectar Santal, Bergamot Woods and Sandalwood Vanille — retail from $23 to $26 on Target.
And the fact that the scents turned out so well is a bonus as they were never planned to be a part of Blake Brown so early.
'This was a response to our community going, "Please make fragrance,'' the Another Simple Favor actress told People.
'We never planned to do hair and body fragrances,' Blake added.
Blake's beauty brand launched a year ago to great fanfare and sales. And then, six months later it was eclipsed by the drama and dueling lawsuits between her and Baldoni.
Blake announced the launch on Monday, writing on her Instagram, ' Blake Brown Beauty just launched Hair & Body Mist. Not because it was our original plan. But because of YOU.'
'Because our community embraced our scents with such enthusiasm, support and passion. You asked for a standalone fragrance. We listened. ✨✨'
She went on, 'As overly romantic as it sounds, to me scent has always been a means of transportation. It can bring you back to a place, time, or person. It can offer a momentary escape, or boost of joy and vibrance when you're not feeling your best.'
'Whether it's the smell of your mom cooking your favorite meal from childhood, or the scent of your most beloved person — fragrance is emotional, distinct, it holds stories and memories that have happened and ones yet to come.'
'The significance of scent in all our stories is why we @blakebrownbeauty put so much care into the nuanced and stunning fragrances in our hair products. We planned to stop there.'
She continued: 'But are so grateful to you for authoring our new favorite product - our Hair & Body Mists. Now a staple in all our (and our family's) purses and backpacks. So cheers to you.'
'We hope you enjoy as much as we do. We hope you layer them up and make them your own. But mostly, we hope they bring you joy and memories. I know, cringe, but we mean it. ♥️'
Lively launched her haircare brand in July 2024 to create 'clean formulas with incredible performance at a mass price point with a fragrance that I would spray on my body.'
In a recent interview with People, Lively also shared what her plans are now that she has had a busy spring. 'Just some time off sounds so nice with my babies and my husband,' she said.
The new launch comes amid her ongoing legal battle with Baldoni.
It began after she filed a lawsuit against him in December, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a 'hostile work environment on set.'
Justin retaliated with his own $400 million filing against the actress, along with her husband, with the brutal melee now scheduled for a trial on March 29, 2026. All parties have denied the claims.
Meanwhile Ryan's ex-wife Scarlett Johansson recently broke her silence on the legal drama.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-girlfriend testifies he rebuffed pleas that escorts wear condoms
NEW YORK, June 6 (Reuters) - Sean "Diddy" Combs twice rebuffed a former girlfriend's requests that male entertainers wear condoms when having sex with her as Combs watched, the woman said on Friday during often tearful testimony at the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking trial. The woman, testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her privacy, said Combs would "guilt trip" her when she asked that the entertainers wear condoms during their frequent, lengthy sexual encounters. The sexual interactions resembled what another one of Combs' exes, Casandra Ventura, referred to as "Freak Offs" during her testimony last month. Jurors in the Manhattan federal court trial heard an audio recording in which Combs intervened after Jane asked a male entertainer named Don if he had a condom. As the recording was played, Combs rapidly tapped his fingers against his leg while seated at the defense table. "Why didn't you just insist that Don wear a condom?" prosecutor Maurene Comey asked. "Because I just didn't want to disappoint my lover," Jane responded, referring to Combs. Jane said she and Combs dated from 2021 through 2024. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to five felony counts including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Prosecutors say he coerced women over two decades to take part in elaborate, drug-fueled sexual performances during Freak Offs over two decades. The Bad Boy Records founder's defense lawyers have acknowledged that Combs was occasionally abusive in domestic relationships, but say the women who took part in Freak Offs did so consensually. During the first day of her testimony on Thursday, Jane said she was "head over heels" for Combs and wanted to have a one-on-one relationship with him, but that starting five months into their relationship most of their time together involved sexual interactions with male escorts in hotels. Jane said that when she told Combs she wanted those encounters to stop, he threatened to stop paying her rent. On Friday, Jane frequently sobbed and dabbed her eyes with a tissue as she told jurors how Combs would encourage her to keep going even after she grew tired during the encounters, which she said often lasted 24 hours or more. She recounted one instance in which she broke down crying after Combs said he had to leave following an encounter with an entertainer, despite having promised Jane a one-on-one date night and that the entertainer would be there for "just a little bit." "I hung onto those words, just a little bit," Jane said. "I was feeling terrible that he was going to leave me alone." Combs' defense lawyers are expected to cross-examine Jane next week. They may focus on sexually explicit text messages that she sent Combs in between their encounters to show she was a willing participant in their relationship. Combs has been in federal lockup in Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest. He could face life in prison if convicted on all counts.

Billy Joel admits he attempted suicide twice and ended up in a coma after falling in love with bandmate's wife
BILLY Joel has admitted that he attempted suicide twice and was left in a coma after having an illicit affair with his close friend's wife. Billy, 76, opened up about his mental health struggles in the upcoming documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes. 3 3 The Uptown Girl singer had previously discussed attempting to take his own life in his early 20s, but has just now revealed what led to the dark point. In the doc, which was partially screened at Tribeca Festival in New York City on Wednesday, Joel spoke about busting up his best friend's marriage with Elizabeth Weber. The singer didn't make it to the screening as he continues to battle a debilitating health condition. The affair brewed after Billy moved in with Elizabeth, her husband Jon Small, and their child, while the two close friends played in their band Attila. Elizabeth, who went on to marry Joel from 1973 to 1982, looked back at their burgeoning relationship in the documentary for the first time in years. "Bill and I spent a lot of time together," she said, and described their extramarital affair as a "slow build." When Jon finally confronted the two over their relationship, Billy admitted, "I am in love with your wife," Elizabeth said. "I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker," Billy said in the documentary, according to People. "I was just in love with a woman and I got punched in the nose which I deserved. "Jon was very upset. I was very upset." Billy Joel's daughter Alexa breaks silence after his brain disorder diagnosis Attila broke up for good after Billy's shocking admission, and Elizabeth separated herself to get some space. Meanwhile, the Piano Man singer spiraled into a pit of depression over what he had done. "I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats and I was depressed I think to the point of almost being psychotic," Billy said. The singer described being in "a lot of pain" as he suffered from suicidal ideation. He took a handful of pills and fell into a coma for days. Later on, the singer tried to end his life again by drinking furniture polish, and this time Jon rushed him to the hospital. "Even though our friendship was blowing up, Jon saved my life," Billy said. Jon said that they never discussed the affair at the time, but that he managed to forgive his friend anyway. "He never really said anything to me," Jon said. "The only practical answer I can give as to why Billy took it so hard was because he loved me that much and that it killed him to hurt me that much." Elizabeth went on to be Billy's first wife and manager, but they split up by 1982. In 1985, Billy tied the knot with model Christie Brinkley, and they welcomed daughter Alexa Ray Joel later that year. On August 26, 1994, Billy and Christie divorced. Billy found his third wife, chef Katie Lee, in 2004, and they were married for five years. Now, he's married to former Morgan Stanley executive Alexis Roderick, and they've been together since 2015. Billy was forced to cancel all of his upcoming tour dates after he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, which affects his hearing, vision, and balance. What is normal pressure hydrocephalus? NORMAL pressure hydrocephalus occurs when spinal fluid builds up in the skull and starts pressing on the brain. The condition can affect brain function, which can lead to a loss of memory, concentration, and motor skills. Medical experts say that NPH often presents like degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and is usually noticed by loved ones. And around 30 percent of those suffering from the condition do also have one of those diseases, according to Cleveland Clinic. However, those who only have NPH can get relief if they have a major surgery. The surgery involves getting a shunt, which is a device that can drain fluid from the skull affecting the brain.
