Two weeks ago, Lively and Reynolds asked their followers to donate to coronavirus relief organizations when they announced their first $1 million donation.

"Covid-19 has a brutal impact on the elderly and low-income populations," Lively explained in an Instagram post.

She emphasized the importance of isolation during this time, but staying digitally connected: "We have to keep our distance to protect those who don't have the opportunity to isolate themselves, but we can stay connected. Don't forget about those who are lonely and isolated: "Let's make FaceTime, Skype, video. Remember that even in these situations, love can be communicated. Shop for the elderly, make lunch for the children. Even if it is simply staying home. ❤️"

She took the opportunity to be a little level-headed and send a message to Reynolds: "Sending lots of love. Now can someone please tell Ryan that there can be no 'emotional distance' from his mother-in-law. ☺️"
