In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Blake Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, referred to her upbringing as “working class,” which sparked backlash online.
Reynolds said that despite their well-known jobs, he and the Gossip Girl actress try to provide a grounded environment for their four kids.
“We both grew up fairly working class,” Reynolds said in reference to this, adding, “I try not to impose upon my kids the disparities in their childhood to my childhood or my wife’s childhood.”
The Daily Mail reports that admirers quickly refuted his assertion, citing Lively’s Hollywood background.
The actress’s parents were also heavily involved in the entertainment business; her father, Ernie Lively, was an actor, and they raised her in Tarzana, Los Angeles.
