Blake Lively Returns To Instagram Following ‘It Ends With Us’ Drama For Birthday Tribute

Blake Lively is back on Instagram. The actress, who has remained mostly offline for the past few weeks, posted a sweet birthday tribute on Sunday to her friend and photographer, Guy Aroch. She uploaded a selfie of herself, Guy, husband Ryan Reynolds, and photographer Anna Palma, to her story and wrote in part, “@guyaroch appreciation day is every day in my household. But today is his birthday. This man SHOWS UP. Literally. Creatively. Practically. Emotionally.” The 37-year-old continued to celebrate her friend before concluding, “My life wouldn’t be what it is today without you, Guy. I love you dearly. Today and always.” Blake’s post comes over a month after rumors began to swirl of an alleged feud between herself and “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Balodni, who also happened to be the film’s director. Speculation of a cast rift made headlines as fans pointed out that Justin had been noticeably absent from the rest of his costars during the blockbuster’s press tour, instead doing interviews solo, with social media sleuths also pointing out that a handful of his cast don’t appear to follow him back on Instagram. Eventually, Brandon Sklenar, who plays Atlas Corrigan in the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling 2016 novel, spoke out on social media.
