Ryan Reynolds has reportedly filed for divorce from Blake Lively, sparked by a bombshell from Chris Evans—who allegedly dropped “crazy receipts” exposing some jaw-dropping truth about the couple—sending shockwaves through Hollywood and, oddly enough, drawing a furious reaction from Donald Trump. As of March 16, 2025, this saga is lighting up X and tabloid chatter, but let’s sift through the noise: what’s real, what’s hype, and why’s Trump even in the mix?
The rumor kicked off with whispers on X around mid-March, claiming Reynolds, 48, initiated divorce proceedings after Evans, his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star, unveiled evidence—texts, emails, or maybe set footage—that painted Lively, 37, in a compromising light.
Some posts speculate it ties to the ongoing It Ends With Us drama with Justin Baldoni, suggesting Evans had proof of Lively’s alleged flirtations or worse during filming, which Reynolds discovered post-Deadpool press in 2024. A February 2025 Lipstick Alley blind item resurfaces here, hinting Reynolds consulted a divorce lawyer in August 2023 after “something happened” on set—now fueled by Evans’ supposed receipts. No court docs confirm a filing, though, and Reynolds’ camp hasn’t commented.
Evans’ role is murky. Known for playful Instagram jabs—like Reynolds’ 2020 “I kept the hair” quip—his “receipts” might be a dramatic exaggeration of a real exchange. X users like @txdarlene suggest it’s tied to Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit, where unedited footage already disputes Lively’s harassment claims. Could Evans, a Marvel buddy, have stumbled on similar clips and shared them with Reynolds? Or is this just fan fiction run wild? Without concrete leaks, it’s a stretch—but the rumor’s got legs.
Trump’s alleged “going crazy” reaction, per X chatter, feels like a side dish to the main course. He’s got no skin in this game beyond his love for celebrity chaos and past beef with Reynolds, who’s mocked him since 2016. Posts hint Trump’s furious either at Lively’s “liberal elite” status or Reynolds’ perceived betrayal, but no Truth Social rant backs this up. It’s plausible he’d relish the mess, though—think of his glee over Obama rumors.
Lively and Reynolds, married since 2012 with four kids, have weathered divorce buzz before—her July 2024 Instagram clapback, “They wish,” shut down similar talk. But the Baldoni feud’s toll—lawsuits, gag orders, and “severe anguish” per Yahoo—lends credence to strain. If Evans dropped real receipts, it might’ve been the tipping point. Still, no filing’s public, and their Valentine’s Day 2025 red-carpet smooch suggests they’re hanging on.
