Unexpectedly, Blake Lively and her spouse Ryan Reynolds decided not to attend their second consecutive Met Gala.
While she is known as the ‘Queen of the Met Gala’ for her history of head-turning looks at the prestigious fashion bash, the Gossip Girl star, 36, opted to spend the evening with just her man and their four children
Despite her reputation as the “Queen of the Met Gala” due to her several jaw-dropping outfits at the esteemed fashion event, the thirty-six-year-old Gossip Girl chose to spend the evening with her partner and their four kids.

In 2018, Blake Lively and her spouse Ryan Reynolds unexpectedly decided not to attend their second consecutive Met Gala.
Lively hasn’t been to the event since co-chairing it in 2022, but her appearance at a Tiffany & Co. event in New York this week raised hopes that she might return.
Fans were really disappointed that she did not turn there, and they raced to her Instagram to express their disappointment.
One user remarked, “We missed you at the Met Gala,” with an emoticon of tears next to it.
Another jokingly said, “No Blake? Not MET!
“Why weren’t you at the Met Gala, Blake?” A third asked angrily.
Some acknowledged that they had been waiting for her to arrive or post about the event for the whole night.
The mother-of-four verified that she wasn’t at the fundraising gala by posting a picture of herself pumping breastmilk in a restroom on the day of the Met Gala last year.
She wrote, cheekily, “First Monday in May” as the caption for the picture of herself with the bɾeast pumps covered by a lavender sweater.

When Lively and Reynolds decided not to go this year, they didn’t post about it.
Lively has been shooting It Ends With Us, the film version of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, and A Simple Favor 2, the follow-up to Paul Feig’s 2018 dark comedy.
Reynolds has been busy supporting his Welsh soccer team Wrexham while filming his new action adventure movie, Mayday, in Montreal.

“Blake and Ryan knew this would be quite a transition growing their family to six now, but they’re all adjusting wonderfully,” the insider told US Weekly at the time.They’re all having a really good time.
Reynolds declared to Extra later that year that he was ‘thrilled’ and ‘couldn’t be happier.’
And ‘three to four’ was not as much of a jump as ‘two to three’ kids, he told ET Canada.
I can only speak for myself and my spouse based on what I have seen. We adore it, though. “You know, if we didn’t love it, we would be fools to do this again,” he exclaimed.
