Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are reportedly preparing a strategic public appearance plan for the day of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's rumored wedding.

With reports suggesting the high-profile wedding could take place on July 3 at Madison Square Garden, inviting over a thousand guests, the absence of Lively and Reynolds has become a topic of discussion.

Sources close to the couple suggest their strategy is to be highly visible on that day.

"The strategy is simple: be seen," an insider told Hollywood reporter Rob Shuter.

"They don’t want anyone saying they’re hiding at home or avoiding the spotlight.

They plan to be out, smiling, and carrying on with their lives.” This move comes after a reported falling out between Lively and Swift, stemming from drama involving Lively's co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, for the film *It Ends With Us*.

The couple's intention is to project an image of confidence and normalcy.

“They want to project confidence,” another insider stated.

“The message is: life goes on.

They’re not going to sit behind closed doors while the world talks about Taylor’s wedding.” They reportedly desire media coverage of their activities, aiming to divert attention from their non-invitation to the wedding of someone they were once very close to.

“Blake and Ryan intend to hold their heads high,” a source revealed.

“They’re not looking to compete with the wedding, but they also don’t want to be portrayed as the couple that got left out and disappeared.”

This public relations strategy follows a recent legal development for Blake Lively.

A court ruled that Justin Baldoni must pay Lively's legal fees, though she was not awarded damages for harm caused by his defamation claims.

Lively's legal team stated she is "gratified that her lawsuit shows how Section 47.1 and laws like it create a path for survivors to hold accountable those who weaponize online attacks and retaliatory lawsuits to intimidate and silence survivors.” Despite the denial of damages, the court left open the possibility for Lively to seek additional damages through other legal avenues.

Given the high-profile lawyers involved, the legal fees are believed to be substantial.
