Mothers and daughters have one of the most honest relationships, at least in one way or another. What mothers and sons have, on the other hand, is a bond that could be a tandem of sweetness and undying appreciation. Blake Lively
seems to be living in a dream in this case, but does the unabashed acknowledgment of being on love’s receiving end get a little too jarring sometimes? The internet’s residents seem to be debating all too heavily on the matter, oddly enough, putting her and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle
, on the scale.
Blake Lively’s heart is a melted puddle when it comes to her family. There have been numerous times when the Gossip Girl
star has been found sidetracked onto a tangent foreign to the conversation when talking about her family. Recently, the internet witnessed Lively reveal how she feels like a
“middle school girl
” when her son, two-year-old Olin, announces that she is
the love of his life
. “She gives Meghan Markle vibes
“, one commenter announces, possibly referring to the Duchess’s tendencies to put her family on a similar pedestal.
Onlookers have pelted Lively with some heavy criticism for what they perceived as oversharing or dramatizing her experiences. Her depiction of the toddler’s affectionate nature contrasted with the typical portrayal of celebrity children as distant or overly protected.
These anecdotes are taken into comparison with those of Markle’s, centered on their experiences as mothers in the spotlight and the public’s reaction to their openness. Some supporters praised Lively for her transparency, likening her resilience to Markle’s, while critics questioned the motives behind their disclosures, as with Markle’s.
Every son’s first love is most likely their mother, but with Lively and Markle, it seems they might be their only loves.
A Blake Lively Meghan Markle pact? Family for PR?
This burst of criticism is not the first time the two actresses, one former, have been pitted together, sometimes even against, such as the Choice Style Icon Award in 2022.
It started with one comment under a reel by Access Hollywood, saying how the It Ends With Us
actress is reminiscent of Meghan Markle. Another commenter goes into detail, “it’s her mannerisms and the ingenious way she tells a story.. laughing and thinking her story is the greatest.. and inability to read the room.. look at how pretty I am- self.
“. The replies of the original comment were then flooded with pings of agreement and a heart to the thought.
Many of the commenters were spotted coming to the Duchess’s rescue, on the other hand. Articulating in the former actress’s defense that, “Meghan is misunderstood and comes off fake. I think she’s under pressure and didn’t realize how much people would judge..
. “, expressing how the actress might have a few strata-riding privileges that Markle may not be an enjoyer of, “except she has white priveledge and Meghan does not. GTHOH… stop hating on Meghan
“. The two personalities are often dipped into fire for their controversial takes, or takes that are controverse-ified, but never ebbing away with the water, keeping the internet alive on its toes.
