Blake Lively brought her fans into her world by sharing intimate Blake Lively holiday moments, capturing the warmth and comfort of her family home during the festive season. The actress posted an Instagram Story that welcomed followers into a colorful setting featuring Ryan Reynolds, their four children—James, Inez, Betty, and Olin—and a host of beloved holiday activities.
Details Behind Lively’s Perfect Festive Day
Describing the elements that made her holiday special, Lively highlighted the joy found in simple pleasures. Her cheerful celebration included freshly baked cookies paired with milk served over ice, a personal preference she playfully noted. The family spent time playing Mahjong, enjoyed the glow of a warm fire, and watched the latest episodes of “Fixer Upper” with Chip and Joanna Gaines. Lively expressed the sentiment that being surrounded by family, enjoying games, good food, and watching snowflakes outside was, for her, the pinnacle of happiness.
“A fire, Mahjong, a sparkly Britney Spears-inspired water bottle, snow outside and a new season of Fixer Upper. My heaven,”
Lively shared, offering insight into what she cherishes most during the holidays.
A Holiday at Home Amid Legal Disputes
Beyond her holiday traditions, Blake Lively is facing a challenging legal situation with Justin Baldoni, her co-star and director from “It Ends With Us.” Earlier this month, her attorneys criticized what they called inappropriate handling of depositions, focusing on intrusive inquiries into Lively’s private life. The court case has prompted Lively to keep a lower profile in recent months.
After a judge dismissed Baldoni’s lawsuit in June, Lively took to social media to recognize the emotional exhaustion the case caused.
“Like so many others, I’ve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don’t have the resources to fight back.”

Support and Advocacy in Challenging Times
Lively acknowledged those who stood by her throughout the legal dispute and extended her thoughts to women navigating similar situations.
“I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.”

Though the holidays brought cherished moments at home, the underlying legal challenges added an emotional undertone to the season. As Lively continues to balance her family life with public struggles, her candid social media posts have offered a glimpse into the resilience and importance of support networks during times of adversity.
