According to news agency PTI, during an interview with Fast Company on Tuesday, the actor opened up about the controversy and said he still has regrets over it. "It’s something we'll always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for. It’s impossible to reconcile. What we saw at the time was a wedding venue on Pinterest. What we saw after was a place built upon devastating tragedy. Years ago we got married again at home, but shame works in weird ways," Ryan Reynolds said.

In the same interview, Ryan Reynolds stated that a blunder like choosing a wedding venue like that ‘can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action’. However, he added that there is no assurance that a person might not mess up again. According to PTI, he concluded by saying, “but repatterning and challenging lifelong social conditioning is a job that doesn’t end.”
