The couple shares four children — James (10), Inez (8), Betty (5), and Olin (2) — and have been the focus of relentless media attention since 2024, when Blake first accused Justin of harassment.
Rumors have been flying that Ryan felt strained by all the coverage, and according to Rob Shuter's Naught But Nice, it allegedly became a real problem in their marriage. Ryan allegedly asked Blake to end it "long before she was ready."
"It wasn't about winning anymore — it was about proving she was right," a source says of Blake's legal battle. "She couldn't see how much it was costing her in real time."
But when she allegedly realized the effect of the legal battle on her life, an insider says "the one thing she refused to lose was her marriage."

The legal battle allegedly affected Blake Lively's friendship with Taylor Swift, too. "If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons," Blake allegedly told Justin in a text after a meeting with Taylor and Ryan. "For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. you will too, I can promise you."
A Page Six source says The Life of a Showgirl singer “can’t help but feel used” by Blake, and that she “doesn’t appreciate being referred to as one of Blake’s dragons.” Another source told Page Six Taylor Swift “is taking a break from their friendship right now,” and that she's “really hurt by this whole situation and feels like a pawn.”
