10. FEEL FREE TO HAVE A CONVO WITH EACH OTHER

16. Come Back Better than Ever
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the pair made their glamorous return to the red carpet in August 2021 — with Lively pulling out all the stops in a pink sequin skin-baring dress.
Reynolds joked that the red carpet event marked their first time being "Instagram official."
The Free Guy actor wrote on Instagram, "What a huge night for #FreeGuy. And what a huge night for @blakelively because this means we're Instagram official."
"I know how important that was to her," the actor joked.
