Birthday girl: Ryan Reynolds had nothing but kind words for his wife Blake Lively as he honored her 36th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post

Among the romantic shots of the couple, Ryan showed off the aftermath of a prank he pulled on Blake as she slept.

With her head resting on a pillow and in a deep snooze, the Free Guy star carefully placed pieces of lettuce on her face without waking her.

He concluded his post’s caption by poking fun at the actress periodically needing some space from him.

‘Also, thank you for urging me to leave the house every now and again,’ Ryan wrote, followed by a red heart emoji.

‘Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You’re spectacular. I’m not sure if you were born or invented,’ captioned Ryan, who included a slideshow of snaps with the Gossip Girl actress

The Amityville Horror actor married the Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants actress on September 9, 2012 after less than a year of dating.

That same year Ryan filed for divorce from his then-wife Scarlett Johansson and Blake called it quits with her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley.

The couple reportedly kicked off their romantic relationship in October of 2011.

The couple kept Betty’s name a secret for nearly a year until allowing close pal Taylor Swift to reveal it in her song Betty, which was released in July of 2020.

The song also made mention of the couple’s daughters James and Inez, so fans easily put the pieces together.

Blake kicked off her birthday celebrations earlier this month with a magical trip to Disneyland with her sister Robyn, 50.

Ryan has revealed his wife Blake was not happy when he told her the he had bought Welsh football team Wrexham FC with actor Rob McElhenney.

In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the actor said, ‘I remember seeing Blake, saying, “I have bad news and I have really bad news. I slipped into someone’s DMs again. The really bad news is that I might have bought half of a fifth tier national football league in Wales.” ‘

Admitting her reaction wasn’t a positive one, he told McElhenney, who was guest hosting: ‘We are still working through that one.’

Reynolds purchased the Welsh club Wrexham with Rob in 2020 and they have since filmed a documentary about the experience that will be released August 24 on FX.

The Hollywood stars, both age 47, were shown early in the premiere episode titled Dream on the pitch at Racecourse Ground after buying the third oldest professional association team in the world and the oldest club in Wales.
