In a heartbreaking announcement made just 30 minutes ago, actor Ryan Reynolds, along with the Lively-Reynolds family, confirmed the tragic and unexpected passing of beloved actress Blake Lively. The 37-year-old star, known for her roles in Gossip Girl, The Age of Adaline, and A Simple Favor, reportedly passed away early this morning following what has been described as a sudden and unforeseen medical complication.

The news was delivered through a short but emotional statement from Ryan Reynolds’ publicist, which read:
“It is with the heaviest hearts that we confirm the passing of our beloved Blake. She was a light in our lives, a source of endless love, laughter, and strength. At this time, we ask for privacy as we mourn the loss of an incredible woman, wife, mother, daughter, and friend.”
While no official cause of death has yet been released, close sources to the family have indicated that Blake suffered from a rare and previously undetected heart condition. She was reportedly at home in upstate New York when the incident occurred. Emergency services were called, but despite all efforts, she could not be revived.
The couple, who married in 2012, are parents to four children. Blake was not only admired for her talent and beauty but also for her deep devotion to her family and her philanthropic efforts. Over the years, she and Ryan have supported numerous causes, from children’s hospitals to climate change awareness, always using their platform to bring light to the world.
Fans from around the world have taken to social media to express their shock and sorrow. Tributes are flooding in from fellow actors, directors, and friends. Actress Anna Kendrick, Blake’s co-star in A Simple Favor, tweeted:
“I’m devastated. Blake was magic. She lit up every room she entered. I still can’t believe this is real.”
Director Todd Haynes, who worked with her on the set of Café Society, described her as “effortlessly graceful, endlessly creative, and full of life.”
The entertainment world is in mourning as news of Blake’s passing spreads. Hollywood Boulevard is reportedly seeing crowds of fans placing flowers and candles near Blake’s star on the Walk of Fame.
Blake Lively rose to fame with her role as Serena van der Woodsen in the hit series Gossip Girl, which ran from 2007 to 2012. Her charm, wit, and undeniable screen presence quickly made her a household name. After her success on television, she transitioned into film, where she gained critical acclaim for her performances in both romantic dramas and thrillers.
Beyond the screen, Blake was known for her sense of fashion, regularly turning heads at the Met Gala and being a muse for designers worldwide. She had recently announced plans to produce and star in an upcoming Netflix series, marking her return to television.
As the world processes the loss, Ryan Reynolds has requested that fans remember Blake not in sorrow, but in joy. In a personal note shared via Instagram, he wrote:
“She was my everything. If you want to honor her, tell someone you love them today. Be kind. Blake lived to make the world better—and she did.”
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. The family has expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming love and support being shown.
In this time of grief, we join millions around the globe in remembering a life that inspired so many.
Rest in peace, Blake Lively. You will be missed but never forgotten.
