Is Ryan Reynolds the reason behind the rift between Justin Baldoni and ‘It Ends With Us’ cast?

Speculation has arisen regarding a potential rift between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, co-stars of the upcoming film It Ends With Us, with fans questioning whether Ryan Reynolds, Lively's husband, might be at the center of the alleged discord. The rumors gained traction after fans noticed Baldoni’s limited presence during the film’s press tour, in contrast to Lively’s active promotion.

The film, an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, has faced various rumors, including claims that Baldoni and Lively do not get along. Some fans pointed out that the two have not been seen together in promotional events, and Baldoni appears to have been unfollowed by Lively, Hoover, and other cast members on social media. The situation escalated when it was revealed that Reynolds, who is a co-executive producer on the project, contributed to writing a pivotal scene in the film. Lively shared in an interview with E! News that “the iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it,” leading to speculation that Reynolds may have taken creative control, possibly sidelining Baldoni, who is both the director and a star of the film.

One TikTok user speculated that Reynolds’ involvement might be the reason behind the rumored tension, suggesting that Baldoni might be stepping back from the spotlight to avoid further drama. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Baldoni spoke about the challenges of portraying his character, emphasizing the emotional toll of the role, but he did not address the rumors directly.

While it’s unclear if these rumors hold any truth, fans are keenly observing the situation as the press tour continues. Whether the alleged rift will be addressed by Lively, Baldoni, or Reynolds remains to be seen.
