Last week Lively launched a trio of hair and body scents from her beauty line Blake Brown, and claimed that Ryan 'legitimately uses [the products].'
'I thought he was just being the best and most supportive husband, but he genuinely loves to wear them,' she said.
It comes amid Lively's fallout with the godmother to her eldest children, pop superstar Taylor Swift, 35.
The singer 'is done' with the actress, a source recently told and their mutual pal Gigi Hadid, 30, is also reportedly cutting ties with Blake.
It comes following reports that Lively allegedly threatened to leak embarrassing private texts from Swift unless the pop star agreed to publicly back Lively in her legal feud with Baldoni, 41.
Last week, Swift was dramatically subpoenaed in the case, despite attempts to distance herself from the furor.
'There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,' the insider said.
