Actor Ryan Reynolds was seen confirming to the world that he would not be attending the Golden Globes this year amid his wife’s bombshell lawsuit filed against actor Justin Baldoni.

The news did take fans by surprise because he is nominated this year for Deadpool & Wolverine” as confirmed by media outlets.

The hit movie grossed a massive $1.33B around the world after its breakthrough release. It’s now nominated for the category of best cinematic and box office achievement.

The actor co-stars with the likes of Hugh Jackman who will also reportedly not be attending the awards show in Los Angeles as per reports published by Deadline today.

More details were shared including how both members of the couple have chosen to stay at home and skip the Golden Globes, well before the legal notice was served to Justin Baldoni.

Some insiders feel it has nothing to do with the scandal and is just a personal decision to sit this one out. Remember, Baldoni’s lawyer did confirm recently how the actor is now countersuing the actress because he has nothing to hide.

Lively was neither nominated nor booked as a presenter so if she did attend it would only be for the sake of her husband which is no longer the case.
