Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds has made a rare comment on his wife and actor Blake Lively amid her ongoing legal battle against her It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni.

During a conversation in Today's Sunday Sitdown Live series, the Deadpool star expressed his support for his wife, stating that he has never been more proud of her and that people have no idea what is really going on.

Ryan Reynolds, 49, and Blake Lively, 38, have been stepping out together quite often, sharing tributes to each other on social media, and have been described as 'best friends' in a January podcast appearance.

The couple's children include three kids: 2 daughters (James, 11, Inez, 9, and Betty, 6) and a son Olin, 3.

Blake Lively's legal battle against Justin Baldoni hit a crucial setback when a judge dismissed the bulk of her claims, including allegations of sexual harassment and defamation.

However, three claims will proceed to a trial, including claims of breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation, which will take place in New York on May 18.
