Blake Lively’s Face Says It All After Ryan Reynolds’ 'It Ends With Us' Joke On 'SNL 50'

Ryan Reynolds had "Saturday Night Live" fans doing a double take after cracking a bold joke referencing the ongoing legal battle between his wife, Blake Lively, and actor-director Justin Baldoni.

The "Deadpool" star and Lively made a rare public appearance at "SNL"’s 50th anniversary celebration, an event packed with Hollywood’s biggest names.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' attendance marked the couple’s first major outing since the highly publicized "It Ends With Us" controversy, which has seen both Lively and Baldoni embroiled in dueling lawsuits.

Ryan Reynolds Stuns Fans With 'SNL' Joke About Blake Lively And Justin Baldoni Scandal

Back in December, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and alleging he caused her “severe emotional distress.” Baldoni, who was dropped by his agency in the wake of the allegations, denied all claims and retaliated with a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, alleging they attempted to “destroy” his reputation and career.

Despite the heavy subject matter, "SNL" seemingly encouraged Reynolds to acknowledge the situation in a comedic moment alongside Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

During a segment in which the two comedians answered audience questions, Reynolds stood up and announced, “I had a question.” Fey and Poehler, recognizing him instantly, responded with, “Ryan! How’s it going?” Without missing a beat, Reynolds quipped back, “Great! Why, what have you heard?”

While the audience erupted in laughter, it was Lively’s reaction that stole the spotlight.

Initially smiling, she quickly turned to her husband in apparent shock as he alluded to their ongoing legal issues. Though the moment was clearly staged for comedic effect, her stunned expression sparked a wave of reactions online, with some even questioning if Blake was left out of the plan.

"Blake Lively’s face says it all," one social media user said after seeing the clip. "She looks shook after Ryan Reynolds cracked that joke at 'SNL 50.'

"Blake Lively’s expression here says it all," another expressed.
