One of the most anticipated events on the fashion and entertainment calendar, the Met Gala 2024, took place without the presence of two frequently expected names. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, a couple with a constant presence in previous editions, were not present this year.
Sources close to Lively and Reynolds revealed that instead of attending the glamorous event, the couple chose to spend time at their residence with their daughters. The couple, married since 2012, has four girls: James, aged 9, Inez, aged 7, Betty, aged 4, and the youngest, whose name has not yet been released, is just 1 year old.

Prioritizing personal life
Recently, on a podcast, Lively shared insights into the work-life balance she and Reynolds strive to maintain. “We established a rule not to work at the same time, allowing one of us to always be available for the family,” explained the actress. This approach allows both parents to be present at important moments in their daughters’ lives.

Professional commitments
In addition to family responsibilities, Ryan Reynolds is about to start the publicity campaign for his next film, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, which will be released at the end of July. This professional commitment may also have influenced the couple’s decision to stay at home, balancing work and personal time effectively.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ decision to prioritize family on such an important night as the Met Gala highlights the importance they both place on home and shared moments, even with their demanding careers.
