Ryan Reynolds, at the age of 46, deviated from his usual snarky social media persona to deliver a heartfelt tribute to his spouse, Blake Lively, on her 36th birthday. In a departure from his customary humorous jabs at his wife of nearly 11 years, he shared a series of photos of Lively, including numerous charming couple selfies, along with a sincere caption.
Ryan Reynolds With a Real Tribute
In one of the images, the mother of four was depicted donning a sheer lace minidress paired with a black bandeau top, suggesting a romantic beachside date night. Ryan Reynolds altered his tone to express that the only thing irrevocably “his” in the world was the love, appreciation, and awe he felt for his wife. He added that witnessing her life was something he couldn’t take for granted if he tried. He wished her a happy birthday and remarked that she was amazing.
In stark contrast to their past social media exchanges, particularly on their respective birthdays, fans were taken aback by the unusually genuine sentiment of Reynolds’s post. One fan reacted to the post with surprise, commenting that Reynolds might not have been well when he posted actual normal pictures.
The Lively and Reynolds Instagram Truce
This response likely alludes to a previous incident in 2017 when Ryan Reynolds cropped Lively out of her own birthday photo, prompting Lively to retaliate by sharing a photo of Ryan Gosling, a popular actor, on her husband’s birthday a few months later. The following year, Reynolds posted a series of photos capturing Lively’s surprised expressions.
In September 2020, after failing to post anything on Lively’s birthday, Reynolds posted a birthday tribute to his dog, which drew a playful response from Lively, who joked in the comments, “This is almost as sweet as the birthday post you did for me this year.”
Reynolds’s recent, unexpectedly sweet post stands in stark contrast to his usual online persona, prompting playful concern from his Instagram followers. One fan suggested humorously that Ryan was probably being forced to be nice by Blake because there was no other explanation, while another questioned if his account was hacked.
The duration of this unexpected Instagram truce remains uncertain, leaving fans curious about how Blake Lively will respond when Ryan Reynolds’s birthday arrives on October 23rd.
