Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Blake Lively Marries – That’s right, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are married and Olympian Ryan Lochte can dash his hopes of one day courting her. According to reports the 25-year old Gossip Girl star married her boyfriend of nearly one year in a secret ceremony on Sunday. But just a couple days earlier Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte confessed his love for the actress.

“I have a huge crush on Blake Lively. She’s drop-dead gorgeous. I haven’t met her yet. If I do, I’d definitely be starstruck. She makes my toes curl.” The young swimmer is stuck with his words after People mag confirmed the reports of the secret wedding.

On Sunday night Ryan and Blake wed at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Both their families were on hand with witnesses spotting Lively’s mother and sister in town plus an additional 60 people. Word is there were some celebrities in attendance but no names have been revealed…yet. The wedding reception reportedly took place under a white tent with music courtesy of Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine and Bette Midler. Reynolds was previously married to actress Scarlett Johansson and prior to that he ended a long engagement to singer Alanis Morissette. This is the first marriage for the Gossip Girl star.

The newlyweds will likely take up residence in the new home they purchased together in Bedford, N.Y. Looks like this secret wedding was brewing for sometime. The couples rep have remained mum on the wedding and Lochte isn’t saying a word…at least on Twitter. Congrats to Ryan and Blake!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
