No matter how you look at things, it is abundantly clear that Ryan Reynolds has led a rather charmed life. A massive movie star, Reynolds is rich beyond belief and from a career standpoint, it is hard to imagine how Reynolds’ life could be going any better. In terms of Reynolds’ personal life, most things seem to be going great as well. After all, Reynolds and Blake Lively have been able to have a positive impact on the world, they seem to be deliriously happy together, and they have three daughters together.
No matter how great someone’s life seems to be from the outside looking in, the truth of the matter is that every human being has their problems to deal with. In Ryan Reynolds’ case, there is no way for people who only know him by his public persona to know how many issues that the beloved actor is dealing with. However, there is one clear thing, Reynolds once had something truly terrible happen to him and his family.
In Hollywood, there are a few celebrity couples that virtually everyone seems to adore. For example, the vast majority of people seem to love learning more about famous couples like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, as well as Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Of course, it should go without saying that a lot of people really care about Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively as a couple as well.
Once a celebrity couple gets embraced by the general public, some people seem to think that intruding into their privacy becomes fair game. For example, when a celebrity couple has a child together, a lot of media outlets will go to great lengths to get a photo of the baby even if that means using dirty tricks or an extremely powerful telephoto lens. In fact, the rush to get a photo of celebrity babies has gotten so out of control that some stars have decided that the only way to get a measure of privacy is to sell a photo of their newborn to the press. After all, the media isn’t going to intrude into their lives to be the first outlet to get a baby photo if an image like that is already out there.
For the most part, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively seem to be happy to share a superficial image of their relationship with the public. After all, both actors have talked about one another in public a lot over the years and they also regularly post photos of their shared life on social media. With all of that in mind, most people may presume that the media wouldn’t feel the need to intrude on the beloved couple’s personal life. Sadly, that hasn’t proven to be the case since some members of the media were interested in buying a deceptively gained photo from Reynolds and Lively’s personal life.
Once anyone becomes massively famous and they begin to run in celebrity circles, it often doesn’t take long for them to accumulate several well-known friends. Unfortunately, from all accounts, the celebrity scene can be hard to navigate since it can be difficult for stars to figure out if their famous pals truly care about them or if they are looking to advance their careers. For that reason, a lot of stars remain best friends with the pals they accumulated long before they became famous.
When it comes to Ryan Reynolds, he has several Hollywood friends and from the outside looking in, those relationships seem sincere. Despite that, up until a certain point, Reynolds remained very close with at least one pal who had been a big part of his life since childhood. Sadly, that relationship would eventually be destroyed after Reynolds’ longtime friend completely betrayed him.
In 2015, Ryan Reynolds was interviewed by GQ almost a year after his first daughter was born. During that conversation, he revealed that one of his longest-standing friends tried to cash in on the birth of Reynolds' first child. “A guy that I’d known for my whole life, one of my closest friends growing up, he had been shopping pictures of my baby around. I kind of got in front of it, which is good. But it was a slightly dark period. A bad couple of weeks.” “Somebody I grew up with, yeah. Somebody I’ve known, who’s been one of my closest friends, for 25 years.”
From there, Ryan Reynolds explained that his childhood friend betrayed him “just for money” before explaining that his pal couldn’t ask him for cash since he had done that many times in the past. “Well, I think he’d asked for a check enough times where I was like, ‘There’s no more checks to be had.’” Next, Reynolds explained how he knew who was responsible after he learned someone was trying to sell the baby photo. “I mean, I don’t think he thought he would ever be caught. But it’s a pretty narrow group of people that I would send photos like that to. They’re just, like, my closest family and my closest friends: ‘Here’s us in the delivery room!’” Finally, Reynolds revealed what he told his former friend after the betrayal came to light. “I’m never going to see you or talk to you again, unfortunately.”
