Rich listers Nick Mowbray and Jaimee Lupton have been spotted hanging out with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
Lupton shared a picture to her Instagram story of the two couples, stood in a line and smiling for the camera and captioned the post “Double date 🫶”.
The kiwi couple are currently in New York and made time to catch up with their long-time A-list friends while in the Big Apple.
The powwow occurred at RH Rooftop Restaurant at RH New York, a lavish eatery by the home-design company formerly known as Restoration Hardware which is located in the meatpacking district of Manhattan.
Flanked by the A-list couple who each have their arms wrapped around her, Lupton is seen wearing a knee high boots and a khaki skirted set decorated with black polka dots.

The couples have known each other for some time. In November 2020 Lively publicly praised Mowbray’s philanthropic efforts, revealing that in May that year the entrepreneur and businessman had arranged for 265,000 nappies from the Zuru owned brand Rascal + Friends, to be donated to nappy banks and hospitals in New York and Texas.

Posting on her Instagram stories, Lively referred to Mowbray as her “friend” and revealed at her request, she had also donated over 20,000 toys to children who were in hospital but unable to have visitors due to Covid outbreaks at the time.
“Tonight, reflecting on this silent act of care and community, I felt incredibly grateful. And had to share” she said.
As well as the philanthropic connections, the couple share other similarities.
Lively and Lupton both run haircare businesses.
Lupton launched her brand MONDAY in 2020 and the company has enjoyed five years of rapid growth, expanding to be available in 43 countries with more than 200 retailers globally.
Lively launched her haircare range, Blake Brown, in July 2024.
In September digital media company Puck reported that the brand’s sales at US retailer Target totalled close to US$5 million in the three and a half weeks after launch, but sales dropped more than 87% between August 11 and September 15.
