Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are ready to flee!
We’ve heard the couple is eager for a quieter lifestyle after the Justin Baldoni drama, and now sources are confirming they’re eager to get away from Hollywood for a bit. An insider told Radar Online on Thursday that they want to seek new opportunities and a breath of fresh air across the pond — in Europe!

An insider shared:
“Blake and Ryan are desperate for a fresh start away from all the stress and misery that’s totally taken over their lives. Even if they wind up doing it for a temporary period, they want to get away and clear their heads.”
The bad press and legal setbacks they’ve dealt with over the past few months have weighed heavily on them. While the Gossip Girl star is still fighting for legal fees and damages in her case, there’s not much more she can actually do in the legal battle but wait to see if she’s victorious. Plus, getting away for a bit will (hopefully) allow for her so-called “mean girl” reputation to fade in Hollywood.
They’ve already been spending more time in the UK as Ryan’s a co-owner of the Wrexham AFC soccer team. So, it’s a natural next step, an insider expressed:
“Blake and Ryan own a home in Europe, which has become a perfect asylum from the endless noise. They will almost certainly keep a base in the States, but at this point, it makes sense for them to relocate for a while, get away from all the sniping and work to rebuild their reputations. Things can’t get much worse than they are right now.”
Oof!
Makes sense to disappear for a little… though that’s never really been Blake’s MO. We’ll see if she can actually vanish from the spotlight!
