Wyatt Johnson, Robyn Lively, Bart Johnson, Kate Johnson, Elaine Lively, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Lori Lively attended the “It Ends With Us” New York Premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater on August 6, 2024, in New York City. In celebration of *Gossip Girl* star’s birthday on August 25, he shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Bart’s post sparked several comments from followers.

One user criticized him for “promoting happiness in a domestic violence setting without any regard for victims,” leading Bart to defend his family member. Bart responded by saying, “I’m really sorry you feel that way…I’m sure you have a huge heart and want the best. I can promise you the truth has not come out yet.

Blake worked harder on this film than anything I’ve seen her do in my entire life because it meant so much to her.” However, the message appears to be deleted. He continued to describe Blake, whom he has known for many years, as “someone who wants to make the world a better place and has been an exceptional role model in a million kinds of ways—to care for others, spread kindness, and, my personal favorite, put her family first by being an AMAZING wife and mother. When I grow up, I want to be just like her.

I’ve got a long way to go.”
