Blake Lively reunited with chat show host Seth Meyers on Thursday's Late Night show, but fans spotted an odd detail about her appearance.
The actress spoke about her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni while appearing on the show, but many noticed she was not wearing her wedding ring.
The star shared how this year had some of her 'lowest lows' and how fear is keeping many women 'silent' and 'afraid to speak', a source who attended the taping exclusively told Dailymail.com.
After Meyers alluded to her conflict with her It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin, 41 — whom she's accused of sexual harassment — he added, 'I imagine you're in a situation where you can't say anything.'
Blake replied, 'What I can say without going too into it is that this year has been the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in my life and I see so many women around afraid to speak, especially right now, afraid to share their experiences, and fear is by design.'
'It's what keeps us silent but I also acknowledge that many people don't have the opportunity to speak.'
'So I do feel fortunate that I've been able to and as a woman, you have the ability to use your voice - that's kept me strong and helped me in my belief and my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls. It's a pretty simple thing.'
She said that her four kids — daughters James, 10, Inez, eight, Betty, five, and son Olin, two — whom she shares with husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, help her focus on what is important.
'It's no surprise it's been a pretty intense year and they're just my lifeline,' she shared.
'No matter what day I am having, I have to be Disneyland for them. It's the best, it's chaos.'
Blake shared that her son complements her and announces that she's the 'love of his life' which she says is the 'best feeling in the world.'
Blake wowed in a frilly layered white dress while appearing on the show, and wore her blonde tresses in a halfway updo.
She joked that her chic gown was a 'wedding dress.'
Elsewhere in the conversation Seth asked if it was her husband Ryan's gin that was used in her new movie, Another Simple Favor — a sequel to her 2018 film, A Simple Favor.
Her husband is the co-owner of Aviation American Gin.
She added 'Fear is by design. It's what keeps us silent but I also acknowledge that many people don't have the opportunity to speak. So I do feel fortunate that I've been able to and as a woman, you have the ability to use your voice - that's kept me strong and helped me in my belief and my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls'
However Blake explained it was director Paul Feig's gin, and that she had to have a sit down with Ryan about it.
She then mentioned her character's habit of putting ice in martinis, adding that she personally loves ice and even puts it in her milk, which prompted laughter.
They wrapped up by discussing filming in Italy, followed by her experience taking the Italian actor Michele Morrone around New York to sample pizza.
She mentioned buying a large Parmesan shaker for Michele and another actor, and they joked about topping preferences, including Michele's dislike of honey on pizza.
Blake was joined by her sister and mom, who were in the audience.
During the commercial break, Seth took fan questions. One fan asked if he could give Blake a bracelet, but Seth declined, joking she'd likely have left by the time he gave it to her.
Lively is still in the midst of a legal war against Baldoni, whom she's accused of sexually harassing her on set.
It all began December 20 when Blake filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department against the filmmaker for sexual harassment and retaliation on the set of the Sony Pictures drama, and revealed her side to the New York Times.
Justin immediately filed a libel lawsuit for $250M against the New York Times for allegedly biased coverage of Lively's California complaint and she filed a lawsuit against him and his PR team on December 31 for his alleged 'plan to undermine her reputation in retaliation' with a 'vicious smear campaign' in retaliation for reporting sexual harassment.
All of the parties deny the allegations against them.
