One secret Blake Lively will tell? How much Ryan Reynolds loves their dogs. The Gossip Girl alum honored her husband on his milestone 50th birthday by cheekily highlighting his role as a dog dad.
Indeed, Lively-mom to James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 3, with Reynolds-shared a funny video of Reynolds holding one of their pups in a black-and-white baby carrier while “Rock-a-bye Baby” played in the background.
As the It Ends With Us star wrote in the Oct. 23 Instagram post, “Happy Birthday to my manny, @vancityreynolds.”
Along with poking fun at her husband of 14 years with the couple’s signature playful trolling, Lively also shared a glimpse into their life at home. After all, the footage also featured the 39-year-old alongside Reynolds as she affectionately placed her hand on the Deadpool star’s shoulder. A makeup-free Lively-who wore a striped blue and green matching set-could be seen smiling as her husband casually held their large fluffy pup in the carrier while speaking to someone off camera.
And while the pair are no strangers to poking fun at each other during life’s big moments, Reynolds showed off his soft side as he celebrated Lively’s 39th birthday this past August.
“August 25th is this family’s Super Bowl,” he wrote on Instagram the following day. “Happy Birthday to the very best human I know. You’re not just another courageous and deeply kind genius. You’re also unreasonably cute.” “I know how lucky I am that you were born,” he added. “Every time I’ve ever hit my head, it’s YOUR life that flashes before my eyes.”
Among the sweet snapshots the Free Guy actor shared in his carousel were a photo of Lively carrying one of their kids on her shoulders and a pic of the A Simple Favor star grinning from ear-to-ear as she lovingly hugged one of their daughters.
Yet, for each of the shots featuring their kids, Reynolds cropped out their little ones from the frame or put an emoji over their faces, a method they’ve implemented to prioritize their kids’ privacy. “My husband and I chose a profession and a side effect of that is your personal life is public,” Lively told Marie Claire UK in 2016. “Our child hasn’t had the opportunity to choose whether or not she wants her personal life to be public or not. So in order to give her as much normality as possible, we want her to have a childhood like we had.”
