Ryan Reynolds Defends 'Working Class' Upbringing

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively faced backlash after Reynolds claimed in an interview that they both grew up 'working class.' Critics quickly pointed out that Lively's background, with Hollywood veteran parents, contradicts this assertion, labeling her a 'nepo baby.' Social media users expressed disbelief at the couple's characterization of their upbringings, highlighting the differences between their experiences and those of typical working-class families. While Reynolds reflects on his childhood as different from their current life, Lively's early exposure to the entertainment industry raises questions about the validity of their claims. Despite the criticisms, Reynolds emphasized their parenting approach, aiming to provide their children with a normal upbringing amid their high-profile lives.
