Ryan Reynolds and wife Blake Lively share rare photo from date night in NYC – after It Ends With Us backlash

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are keeping their love alive, and the actor has the selfie to prove it. 

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor, 47, shared a sweet photo taken during a romantic date night with his longtime spouse at the Café Chelsea in New York City. 

The Emmy winner posted a pic of the couple sharing a loved-up moment from their window seat in the French-style bistro inside the Hotel Chelsea in Midtown. 

Reynolds, who tagged the restaurant in the photo, looked relaxed in a turquoise sweater and glasses with gold frames. 

The IF star’s cleanshaven face made him look much younger than someone approaching the half-century mark.

Lively, 36, donned a leather-like black jacket and let her long, wavy hair lie in loose layers. 

She wore natural looking makeup with a pink lip and accessorized with chunky gold hoop earrings.

Over the summer, Lively came under fire for her light-hearted approach to promoting of her film, It Ends with Us, which features domestic violence and ending the cycle of abuse. 

In August, a number of unearthed past interviews of Lively were described as ‘hard to watch’ due to her alleged ‘rude’ behavior, which included her repeated use of transphobic slur and calling her Gossip Girl co-stars ‘monkeys.’

The romantic outing comes just weeks after the couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on September 9. 

The pair first met on the set of 2011’s Green Lantern, and the rest, is history.

They tied the knot in 2012 and have since welcomed four children; daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, Betty, four and son Olin, one. 

In a July appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Reynolds, revealed that he and his wife spend a good portion of their date nights talking about their children.

‘We went on a date the other night and our oldest was going to kill us,’ the actor told the audience. 

‘Just for going on a date; just for tending to the relationship. And we did, and what’s crazy is, the whole time we’re there, we just talked about [our kids].’ 

Lively, who has the same entrepreneurial spirit as her husband, recently launched her own haircare line, Blake Brown Beauty.

The products, which include shampoos, hair masks and style products, are sold online or at Target. The brand is vegan and cruelty free.
