Ryan Reynolds departs from his usual witty remarks to offer a seldom-seen sincere homage to his spouse, Blake Lively.
On August 25, Ryan Reynolds took a break from hilariously trolling his wife of nearly 11 years on her 36th birthday. “The only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person,” Reynolds captioned a series of photos of Lively, including a bunch of adorable couple selfies.
Given their track record of playfully teasing each other on social media, particularly during their respective birthdays, followers were taken aback by the genuinely heartwarming tone of the message. “Wait, real and ordinary photos,” a fan commented in response to the post. “Is everything alright????????”
This reaction likely refers to the occasion when Reynolds cropped Lively out of her own birthday picture back in 2017, prompting her to respond by sharing a photo of heartthrob Ryan Gosling on her husband’s birthday a few months later. The subsequent year, Reynolds posted a series of candid photos capturing Lively’s surprised expressions. Fast forward to September 2020, Reynolds shared a birthday tribute to his dog after neglecting to post anything for Lively’s birthday. “This is almost as heartwarming as the birthday post you dedicated to me this year,” Lively quipped in the comments during that time.
In stark contrast, Reynolds’ recent endearing post seems entirely uncharacteristic, evoking some playfully light concern from his Instagram followers. “Ryan is probably under duress by Blake, there’s no other logical explanation—he didn’t even share an unflattering picture,” a fan remarked, while another commented, “Has your account been compromised? You’ve uploaded only great photos?!”
For how much longer will this unforeseen Instagram détente endure? It appears we’ll need to wait until October 23, Ryan Reynolds’ birthday, to find out how Blake Lively will respond.
