Blake Lively’s new gossip girls: Under-siege star flaunts A-list squad after being iced out by Taylor Swift

Since Taylor Swift no longer includes Blake Lively in her well-known circle of friends (the squad), Blake Lively has found herself in a new group of surprising companions instead.

Although, her latest companions seem to be quite different from the high-profile acquaintances she previously mingled with when associated with Taylor Swift.

For several years, they had labeled themselves as inseparable friends, yet it appears they haven’t been spotted together since October, amidst an ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, a co-star from Blake Lively’s film “The It Ends With Us.” Swift found herself unwillingly entangled in the situation.

After it was revealed that Swift might be called upon in an ongoing legal dispute, she decided to distance herself from Lively’s friendship of over a decade, a move that was mirrored by her close circle of friends as well.

Vibrant was not just excluded from Swift’s gathering, she was conspicuously missing at Gigi Hadid’s birthday party in May.

Travis Kelce, NFL star who used to be closely linked with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, has now chosen to stop following Reynolds on social media. This move comes after Swift, aged 35, reportedly felt hurt and manipulated by Lively, which may have led to this change in their friendship dynamics. The absence of invitations also suggests a shift in their relationship.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself buoyed by an unexpected surge of support following the recent dismissal of the $400-million defamation lawsuit leveled against me, which was brought about by Baldoni. This unexpected wave of backing comes from various corners, including Ryan Reynolds, The New York Times, my publicist Leslie Sloane, and my PR firm, Vision. I am deeply grateful for this show of solidarity during these challenging times.

Alongside her actress half-sister, Robyn Lively, she’s been amassing a group of famous friends for assistance. In an unexpected turn of events, Lively appears to have swapped her previous circle with a fresh set of companions – her young niece, a popular Italian heartthrob, and a former Olympic gymnast, making up the new team now by her side.

It’s possible a former co-star could become your new best friend – like Salma Hayek, who is now 55 years old. They’ve been seen having fun on town outings after working together in the film Savages back in 2012. Ryan Reynolds and Hayek have also collaborated on projects such as The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017) and its sequel, Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, in 2021.

Salma Hayek, an actress who was nominated for an Oscar, recently expressed her support for the struggling celebrity. In an interview with E! News, she shared that she has been friends with Lively and Reynolds for quite some time and considers themselves close friends. She even mentioned spending quality time together: “I had a wonderful opportunity to play with them. They were able to meet their Aunt Salma,” indicating the strong bond they share.

On previous occasions, Hayek has commended Lively openly, as evidenced by her statement at the 2017 Variety’s Power of Women event: “I haven’t met anyone who, at such an early stage in their life, possessed such a strong sense of self and courage.

Robyn, who was famously known for her role in Teen Witch, has been closely associated with Hayek and Lively. Throughout the challenging aftermath of the court case, Robyn has remained steadfastly by her half-sister’s side. Additionally, both Lively and Robyn have been taking care of their family, particularly Kate Johnson, Robyn’s 20-year-old daughter with husband Bart Johnson.

Currently, Johnson is being mentored by the controversial celebrity, who has long been a pillar of support for her aunt. The two have even graced several red carpet events together in matching outfits. With a little over 6,500 Instagram followers, Johnson tends to keep a quiet profile, while her radiant aunt boasts an impressive 43.4 million followers.

Lively appears to have infused humor into her life through the company of a humorous duo, which is none other than Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson. Fans have observed their personal growth and enhanced social circles among celebrities as well.

McElhenney, joint owner of Wrexham Football Club alongside Reynolds, has discreetly offered his backing to Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds and his spouse from behind the curtains.

As an ardent fan, it feels like I’ve been right behind Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds throughout their recent legal saga. Brendan McElhenney, my favorite duo from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, has been keeping things low-key but emphasized that they’re simply doing what they can to lend their support without fueling the flames any further.

Although they appear to have a muted bond of camaraderie, it seems that Lively and Olson are not overly familiar – as a matter of fact, they don’t follow one another on Instagram.

One of Blake Lively’s fellow actors supporting her is MICHELE MORRONE, known for his role in the steamy Netflix sensation 365 Days. This Italian heartthrob, who acted alongside Lively in the follow-up to A Simple Favor, reminisced about observing Lively looking distressed after she completed filming It Ends With Us.

He also posted a touching video message on his Instagram story, expressing solidarity with the actress. “I don’t often make videos like this,” he began, “but I feel it’s important to speak up for someone I deeply admire, and that person is Blake Lively.” This was his way of showing support for his fellow actor.

He reminisced, “Together, we filmed an amazing movie, and I sensed something amiss. I felt a pang, and then we had the chance to discuss, with her and me. To be frank, I’ve grown tired of encountering harsh and unjust comments about her without understanding the context behind them.

Morrone remained supportive of the celebrity duo during their legal troubles, joining them for a social event this year and posting on Instagram, “I missed you both! I love you!” with tags to identify them.

As a follower who keeps up with Fixer Upper stars, I can share that Joanna and Chip Gaines have had a rollercoaster friendship with Reese Lively. At present, it seems they’ve rekindled their friendship. Interestingly, there was a chilly encounter between Lively and a fan at the Gaines’ Texas hotel back in March, but things appear to be amicable now. Recently, I noticed photos of them together, all showing warm smiles.

Despite reuniting, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Lively agrees with every statement or action they make. Over the years, the Gaines family has faced numerous controversies as well.

As a devoted admirer, I can share an exclusive tidbit: Blake and Ryan are acquainted with the Gaines family, yet this friendship doesn’t necessarily mean they share all their viewpoints. However, it’s worth noting that they have been associated with a church known for its anti-LGBTQ stance, although they themselves may not publicly declare their political beliefs.

Blake and Ryan boast a large circle of companions, and what’s remarkable about friendships is their ability to disagree on various topics, as the source explained further. Over a decade ago, Lively developed an intense fondness for this series, frequently expressing her fascination and obsession with it.

Previously acclaimed gymnast ALY RAISMAN has recently become a part of the enthusiastic fan base of Ryan Reynolds, also known as Lively. They were spotted together at Wrexham, and Lively delighted his/her massive 16 million followers by posting pictures featuring the gold medalist, aged 31.

Demi Moore, aged 62, continues to show strong support for Lively and may soon join her close-knit group as part of an inner circle.

In an unexpected turn of events, I found myself at the center of a stirring discussion at the Time 100 Gala, sharing the spotlight with Lively and Georgina Chapman, the former spouse of Harvey Weinstein. This trio photograph certainly sparked conversations about unity, change, and moving forward in the wake of past events.

As a dedicated admirer putting it in my own words, I can tell you that I’ve learned from a trusted source that Demi stands firmly behind Blake. It’s upsetting to her to witness the wave of negativity directed towards Blake.
