Why the Women Behind Hollywood's Power Couples Don't Click

The Unlikely Dynamic Between Blake Lively and Sutton Foster Exposed

It's no secret that Hugh Jackman, 56, and Ryan Reynolds, 48, have been the best of friends for nearly two decades after meeting on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine back in 2007. Their bromance is the stuff of Hollywood legends, with the two often joking around and poking fun at each other on social media. However, when it comes to their significant others, Blake Lively and Sutton Foster, things get a little more complicated.

According to an insider who spoke exclusively with TheScholarlyNote.com, the dynamic between Lively and Foster is more like acquaintances than close friends. "They've never had a deep and meaningful friendship," the source revealed. "In fact, when Blake's alone with Sutton, they've never really spent time together or confided in each other without their partners present."

It seems that despite their husbands' tight bond, Lively and Foster just don't click. The two women have been spotted out together as a foursome on occasion, but it's clear that they're not particularly close. "They get along fine, but there's no real affinity between them," the insider explained.

So, what's behind this unlikely friendship dynamic? For starters, Lively and Foster come from different worlds. While both are accomplished actresses, their careers have taken very different paths. Foster has built a reputation for tackling more mature Broadway roles, while Lively rose to fame after starring in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl.

But it's not just their careers that set them apart – they've also approached public scandals differently. When Foster was embroiled in rumors about an alleged emotional affair with Jackman during his marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness, she largely kept a low profile. In contrast, Lively has been more outspoken in the face of controversy, including her recent It Ends With Us legal drama and high-profile feud with Taylor Swift.

TheScholarlyNote.com's insider compared the dynamic between Lively and Foster to that of Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes – two women who are bonded by their relationships with famous men but have very different personalities. "They're both strong, confident women with their own unique styles," the source said. "But they don't really have much in common beyond their husbands."

Despite the lack of a close friendship between Lively and Foster, it's clear that they'll be supporting each other behind the scenes as they navigate their relationships with Jackman and Reynolds. The two couples are set to star together in the upcoming movie Boy Band, a comedy written by and starring Reynolds, which follows the story of two former boy band members reuniting in middle age.

As for Jackman and Reynolds' friendship, it's stronger than ever – despite some recent challenges. When Reynolds was dealing with his It Ends With Us legal battle and Jackman was facing rumors about an alleged affair with Foster, they stuck together through thick and thin. "Their friendship is rock-solid," the insider said. "They've been through a lot together over the years, and it's only made their bond stronger."

In fact, Reynolds has often publicly praised his friend's work ethic, crediting Jackman for inspiring him when he was just starting out in Hollywood. "Ryan looks up to Hugh as a mentor and a role model," TheScholarlyNote.com's insider revealed. "And Hugh is always there for Ryan, no matter what."

As the Boy Band movie approaches, it will be interesting to see how Lively and Foster navigate their relationships with Jackman and Reynolds – and whether they'll ever develop a closer friendship of their own.
