“I love you buddy”- Blake Lively Gushes About Her Fitness Coach, Ryan Reynolds’ Smell, and More in a Heartfelt Note

Blake Lively’s Blake Brown hair-care line made waves at Target by mixing nostalgic scents with modern formulas. Amid this beauty buzz, Blake found herself in the spotlight over a legal battle involving Justin Baldoni. Through it all, her longtime fitness guru Don Saladino, who has trained Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for over a decade, remains a constant presence in her life. The layers of Lively’s world—beauty, challenges, and close bonds have now led to an unexpected, heartwarming revelation.

From cult-favorite body mists to a fitness bond that has lasted over 13 years. Blake Lively’s story has many surprising twists. Her longtime trainer, who molded her roles and workouts, recently took center stage in a playful yet touching moment.

More than mist, a gushing story of support and surprises from Blake Lively

Blake Lively had fans grinning as she shared the sweetest—and cheekiest—Instagram shoutout to her longtime fitness coach Don Saladino. “I love you buddy,” she began, before launching into a tribute that could melt a protein bar. She praised him for helping her stay strong and confident through 15 years of life’s wild ride—four pregnancies, post-baby life, action movies, and everyday chaos. With words like “steady,” “kind,” and full of “rock solid integrity,” she proved this was not just gym talk—it was pure love.

The cherry on top? A hilarious guessing game showing their playful chemistry. In a reel, Blake Lively shared, Don Saladino tried to guess the notes in her new @blakebrownbeauty mist—and missed every one. Citrus? Lavender? Vanilla? All wrong. But he nailed Ryan Reynolds’ favorite mist without breaking a sweat. Blake Lively teased him for failing the quiz but winning the real prize—knowing her husband’s scent. In high demand and full of nostalgia, Lively’s past thoughts reveal a heartfelt mission to revive body mists with scents that last all day.

Lively teased a mix of creamy, woody notes that break away from the usual floral and citrus, bringing a fresh, nostalgic vibe to the beauty world. Blake Lively’s philosophy is not just about scent—it is about capturing memories, layering fragrances, and making every spray feel like a little moment of joy.

Bringing back body mists: Blake Lively’s stylish scent revolution

These scents mix retro perfume vibes with real-life hustle—“easy and super durable” enough to toss in a gym bag or purse. For Blake Lively, a quick spritz is “an endorphin rush” that takes her right back to her teenage days rocking Love Spell and Cucumber Melon, proving some things never go out of style.

Lively divulged that the real magic lies in haircare, “the thing that lasts till the end of the day.” Partnering with top perfumers, the actress crafted creamy, woody notes that go far beyond typical floral or citrus scents. After watching her trainer hilariously miss every scent note—except Ryan Reynolds’ favorite—Lively proves that a perfect scent is all about personality and a good laugh.
