Just 30 minutes ago, actor Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively’s co-star in the upcoming film “It Finished With Us,” and members of his family confirmed the surprising news: Blake Lively officially announced her retirement from the film industry after more than 20 years of dedication.
In an emotional statement shared through the official account, Lively’s family wrote:
Blake dedicated her youth to stories both big and small. But now she feels it’s time to listen to her heart and dedicate more time to her family, herself, and the deepest dreams that have never been fulfilled.
A beautiful farewell, just as she lived it
Blake Lively is more than a star. She’s a pop culture icon, from her glamorous performance as Serenade Woodse in Gossip Girl to her complex and profound roles in The Age of Adalia, A Simple Favor, and, most recently, Lily Bloom in It Ends With Us.
The project “It Ends With Us” (where she starred alongside her real-life husband, Ryap Reypolds), is now seen as an artistic “farewell letter” to celebrities around the world.
The reason behind it: “I choose family and real life.”
In a simple but authentic video shot from his backyard, Blake confided:
I love being active. But I also love waking up at 4 a.m. without makeup, making breakfast for my kids, and watching my husband crack jokes all day. That life has called me home.
She admits that it was not an easy decision, but a “necessary choice for the soul.”
Ryap Reyolds, who has been with her throughout her career and her family, hugged his wife when she finished speaking, whispering:
“She was my star and the light of our home.”
Reactions from celebrities and Hollywood
Immediately, a series of artists and celebrities shared their thanks and farewells to the “Blake of the movie”:
Taylor Swift: “Blake always knew how to tell a story—with her eyes, her voice, and her heart. I’ll miss her, but I’m glad she got to live the life she chose.”
Appa Keidrick: “One chapter has passed, but Blake is gone: she is the spirit, the soul of our generation.”
The hashtag #ThakYouBlake quickly became the most exciting topic in the world in less than an hour. Thousands of people reposted the most memorable moments of his career, along with a heartwarming message: “Thank you for your youth, for your smiles, for the roles that moved us.”
A career eпds – but the legend lives on
Blake Lively didn’t go away quietly. She decided to say goodbye with a great role, a warm message, and, above all, with sincerity.
His career may be over, but his spirit and influence will live on forever in the hearts of readers around the world.
Retirement doesn’t mean disappearing. It means living for the first time in a long time. – Blake Lively
