Blake Lively has recently penned an emotional tribute to her mother, Willie Elaine McAlpin, celebrating her mother's unwavering support for creative endeavors. On June 5th, the talented actress from "Green Lantern" posted a snapshot of herself cradling a vibrant bouquet on her Instagram Stories, her caption brimming with gratitude towards her mother for consistently fostering her creative spirit.
"Endlessly thankful to my mama for her constant companionship in creative pursuits," she penned in the caption, her words brimming with heartfelt appreciation. Blake further elaborated, "Even when her schedule was jam-packed and she had precious little time to spare, she assured me, 'You can't mess this up,' even when I was all too aware of my own fallibility."
"What a lifelong treasure her creative empowerment and unwavering trust have proven to be. My deepest passions stem from, or are owing to, her influence," the 37-year-old actress added, her sentiment resonating with warmth and gratitude.
In another post, Blake shared a solitary snapshot of her floral arrangement, accompanied by a playful caption, "My flower babies, from seed to bloom, from pruning to arrangement… For your next milestone, whether it's a graduation, a funeral, or a wedding, they're dedicated to you, @me."
Just last month, Blake was honored among TIME's Most Influential People at a grand gala in New York City, an occasion shared with her beloved husband, Ryan Reynolds. In her heartfelt speech, Blake paid homage to her mother, lauding her as a survivor of "the utmost injustice any woman can endure."
"I have borne witness to her concealing an unwarranted shame that is deeply hers alone throughout my life. As her daughter, being entrusted to share this today is monumental," explained the actress, known for her role in "Another Simple Favor." Blake continued, "Never discount a woman's capacity to endure agony with resilience."
Earlier this week, the actress insisted on withdrawing her claims against Justin Baldoni, who directed and co-starred alongside her in "It Ends with Us," accusing him of "intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress."
