The Truth About Ryan Reynolds And Blake Lively's Insanely Glamorous Life

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are known for their generosity to countless charities. In his native Canada, Reynolds donated $250,000 to Covenant House, which supports at-risk homeless youth. "For us, helping Covenant House this way isn't a donation, but an investment in compassion and empathy; something the world needs more of," the actor said (via People).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Reynolds and Lively stepped up to help those suffering. They donated $100,000 each to four New York hospitals and 30 percent of proceeds from Aviation Gin to aid unemployed bartenders in the US, Canada, and the UK (via the New York Daily News). The compassionate pair even created a video to show their gratitude to the staff at the hospital close to their Westchester, New York home.

The philanthropists also gave $1 million to split between Feeding America and Food Banks Canada. "We're obscenely, and I mean obscenely privileged to be able to do that," Reynolds, who grew up in a middle class neighborhood, said on The Tonight Show. "If you're a company that's staying afloat and doing well, you got to give back."
