Blake Lively is cherishing her husband Ryan Reynolds, sharing a funny Instagram post on Monday, June 22, that has delighted fans. The actress, 38, posted three pictures of the couple smiling as they walked around what appeared to be New York City in the sunshine, accompanied by Sheryl Crow's 'Soak Up The Sun.' In the caption, she jokingly referred to Reynolds as the 'father of all of my favorite children,' a playful nod to their four kids: daughters James, 11, Inez, 9, and Betty, 6, and son Olin, 3.
The post came the day after Father's Day, where Lively had also shared a more emotional tribute. On Sunday, June 21, she posted a photo of Reynolds carrying and kissing one of their children, writing, 'No one I've ever known is greater than this man.' The couple, who have been married since 2012, are known for keeping their family life mostly private, but occasionally share glimpses of their relationship on social media.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are one of Hollywood's most beloved couples, often charming fans with their witty banter and mutual support. Lively rose to fame with her role as Serena van der Woodsen in the hit series 'Gossip Girl,' while Reynolds became a household name for his performances in 'Deadpool,' 'The Proposal,' and 'Free Guy.' The two met on the set of 'Green Lantern' in 2010, where they played love interests, and began dating shortly after. They married in a private ceremony in 2012 at Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina.
Since then, they have welcomed four children, with the youngest, son Olin, born in February 2023. The arrival was kept under wraps until Lively shared the news quietly. The couple has prioritized protecting their children's privacy, rarely posting their faces on social media. In interviews, both have spoken about the joys and challenges of parenthood. Reynolds once joked in a July 2024 interview with E! News that they might not be done having kids, saying, 'The more the merrier. As many as possible. As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house. I love it. Let's have more!'
Lively has also discussed how motherhood has changed her perspective. In an August 2024 interview with Vogue, she said her life has become 'more intimate' since becoming a mother, and she has learned to juggle her busy schedule with her children's needs. 'Sitting around with them doing chicken dances while I have a very serious conversation with you is probably the most accurate portrait of me possible,' she told the magazine.
In addition to the Father's Day nod to Reynolds, Lively also honored her own father, Ernie Lively, who passed away in 2021 from cardiac complications. She shared a photo on her Instagram Stories of her father smiling down at one of her children, writing, 'Love to everyone today who doesn't have their dad.'
The couple's social media posts often go viral for their playful dynamic. Lively's latest post featured Reynolds in a simple outfit of a white T-shirt, beige pants, and cream sneakers, while she wore a light gray tank top, blue fitted jeans, tan boots, and a Hermès Birkin bag. Their effortless style and evident joy in each other's company resonated with fans, many of whom commented on the post's sweetness.
Reynolds and Lively have been each other's biggest cheerleaders. Lively has supported Reynolds through his various film projects, and he has often praised her work, including her role in the 2024 film 'It Ends With Us,' which he helped produce. The couple's red carpet appearances are always met with excitement, as seen in a video Lively shared to the song 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' by Frankie Valli, where they walked arm-in-arm.
The 'Hot Fudge Fathersdae' dessert that Lively hinted at in another video shows the family's playful way of celebrating occasions. Such behind-the-scenes moments offer a rare peek into their home life, which is otherwise carefully guarded. Reynolds has spoken in the past about the importance of normalcy for their children, and both he and Lively have emphasized that their family comes first.
As they continue to navigate their careers and family life, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds remain a power couple in Hollywood. Their ability to balance public roles with private joy is a source of inspiration for many. Lively's recent tribute to Reynolds on Father's Day is just the latest example of their enduring affection. Whether it's a heartfelt message or a humorous caption, the couple consistently shows that they are each other's biggest fans.
