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!

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
