Blake Lively offered fans a warm glimpse into her holiday season by sharing what she called her version of “heaven.” The actress posted an Instagram Story showing a colorful, cozy scene at home, surrounded by her husband Ryan Reynolds, 49, and their four children James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 2.
Blake Lively Calls This Holiday Photo Moment ‘Nothing Better’
Lively detailed exactly what made the moment special. Her holiday lineup included warm cookies paired with ice-cold milk, which she jokingly clarified she drinks with ice. She also spent time playing Mahjong, sitting by a crackling fire, and watching a new season of Fixer Upper, hosted by Chip and Joanna Gaines. She summed up the scene by writing that there is “nothing better” than family, food, games, and snow falling outside.
Lively also mentioned, “A fire, Mahjong, a sparkly Britney Spears-inspired water bottle, snow outside and a new season of Fixer Upper. My heaven,” she added. Lively remains locked in a court fight with her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. Earlier this month, her legal team strongly objected to what they described as inappropriate and intrusive questioning during depositions, particularly regarding her personal life.
Amid her ongoing legal battle, Blake has largely stayed away from the public eye. However, she spoke out in June after a judge dismissed Justin’s lawsuit against her. In an Instagram Story, she addressed the emotional toll of the case, writing, “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.”
She went on to thank those who supported her throughout the legal dispute and shared a message for other women facing similar situations, saying, “I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.”
