Robyn Lively

Prior to Blake's birth, her mother Elaine Lively already had children from her previous marriage to Ronnie Lively: daughters Lori and Robyn, as well as son Jason. Despite the significant age difference, Robyn and Blake have always shared a strong bond, which has only grown stronger as they both embraced motherhood. Furthermore, noteworthy is the fact that both sisters have pursued careers in acting.

"There's a significant age difference that feels almost non-existent because she's now a mom," Robyn revealed to Fox News in August 2022. "We share so many similarities. Our bond goes beyond surface level. Previously, we supported each other with our projects and lines, but now we navigate motherhood together. I genuinely feel as though her children are my own, as if I had given birth to them, and vice versa."

The caption read, "I'm pretty sure this picture was taken before her (our) first baby, but I just love it because I still feel like the youngest one in the group. You, my dear friend and momma, are magical. You are protective, warm, witty, thoughtful, talented, and breathtakingly beautiful! You are made up of all the amazing things like rainbow sprinkles, butter, bourbon whipped cream, and of course, lots of lobster salad. Thank you for being a shining light and setting an example, sister @blakelively. I wish you the best year ever. You know I love you!"

Lively shared the post enthusiastically, commenting: "This was before our family grew with the arrival of baby #3 for me and baby #1 for you. Being able to co-parent with you, whether you accept the responsibility of raising my children or not, brings immense joy to my life. I love you, dear mother, sister, and friend."

Hugh Jackman

Reynolds and Jackman have maintained a continuous streak of playful trolling and mischief ever since they first crossed paths on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009.

When asked about the origin of their ongoing banter, Jackman playfully recounted to the Daily Beast in April 2020, "How did it start? It's been such a long time. I used to tease him because I was good friends with Scarlett [Johansson], and Scarlett had just married Ryan. So when he joined the set, I jokingly told him, 'Hey, you better behave yourself, buddy, because I'll be keeping an eye on you.'"

Afterward, the dynamic duo engaged in playful banter on various social media platforms and their friendly rivalry continues to this day.

In addition to Jackman's involvement in Reynolds' Deadpool 3, the quartet consisting of Jackman, Reynolds, Swift, and Lively were also seen together attending the Kansas City Chiefs versus New York Jets game in October 2023.
