What unites Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively? They will make extremely public jokes about one another. Continue reading to see nearly every instance in which they made fun of one other online.
Ask Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds; all is fair when it comes to love and social media battle.
The Deadpool star and the former Gossip Girl have been skilled at trolling each other both in person and online over the years. They tied the knot in 2012. Yes, a birthday, anniversary, or milestone wouldn’t be complete without witty remarks, lighthearted conversations, and ironic tribute posts. Ryan previously said, “We’re people that don’t take ourselves too seriously,” on the podcast Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist. “The only people I really love to make fun of is us.”
Take, for example, the 2024 Super Bowl. While Blake attended the Las Vegas game with BFF Taylor Swift, Ryan was back home watching his upcoming film’s trailer during a commercial break. “Has everyone seen the #Deadpool trailer?” he captioned a Feb. 11 snap, which showed him smiling in front of the TV. “Also, has anyone seen my wife?”
As for Blake’s response? The following day, she posed in the same spot in their home, writing, “Honey I’m home. My day was good. Yours?”
Because, listen, some people’s love language is gift-giving or physical touch. For Blake and Ryan, it’s trading barbs.
We do it in real life all the time,” Blake told HELLO! of their affectionate back-and-forth. “It was just an organic thing, and I don’t know where or when it happened, but all day long, we are just [teasing] each other because that’s my best friend!”
And she couldn’t help but add, “I always win, of course. And I am not competitive at all.”
So, let’s look back on the many times that Blake and Ryan—they’re parents to daughters James, Inez, and Betty as well as a fourth child whose name they have not revealed—proved trolling might just be the secret to a successful marriage in Hollywood.
You know they love it, XOXO.
Blake put the pressure on Ryan to up his game on her next birthday after he created a fully produced music video for friend Rob McElhenney‘s big day in April 2023. “That’s a lot of effort you put into this,” she wrote on social media. “Can’t wait for August 25th.”
The actress trolled her husband as he attended a particularly gripping match for his soccer team, Wrexham AFC. The Welsh football club, of which he is a co-owner, played against Sheffield United during the fourth round of the FA Cup.
“I bought espn+ today,” Blake wrote on her Instagram Story. “Just to watch my husband experience crippling anxiety live. Worth it.”
Blake had a question for her husband Ryan, brother-in-law Terry Reynolds and sister Robyn Lively: “How did not one person find the time to mention to me that this is what my hair looked like today?”

In an ad for his company Mint Mobile, Ryan asked for Blake to come out and talk about the brand’s family plan. However, a stand-in for the actress appeared instead.
As Lively joked on Instagram in July 2022, “Darling, if you charged more, you could afford me. Sorry, your real wife.” And when he claimed he was “revolutionizing the category,” she replied, “@vancityreynolds, my love, feel free to revolutionize the couch when you sleep on it tonight!!”
When Ryan announced he planned to take a “little sabbatical from movie making,” Blake commented, “Michael Caine did it first,” referring to an interview in which the Dark Knight actor hinted that he had shot his final film. Ryan later clarified that he has not retired from acting.
In true Ryan fashion, he poked fun at his wife on her 34th birthday by snubbing her on Instagram. Instead of sharing a sweet tribute to mark the occasion, he cheekily praised Mariah Carey, quipping on Instagram Stories, “My favorite thing that’s ever happened on August 25.”
In April 2021, Blake trolled Ryan while wishing their friend Gigi Hadid a happy 26th birthday, writing on Instagram, alongside a photo of herself sitting in between the two, “I think you and I make a much better couple.”
The spouses got their COVID-19 vaccines in March 2021 and used the opportunity to troll each other. Ryan wore a beanie while getting the shot and surveyed fans over who looked better in the hat, him or his life while filming her 2020 movie The Rhythm Section.
Blake later took a subtle dig at the actor, sharing a pic of herself getting vaccinated and writing, “Find you someone who looks at you like I look at the heroic nurse vaccinating me.”

In March 2021, Ryan watched his and Blake’s 2011 film Green Lantern, tweeting, “I only ever read my parts of the script so this is genuinely exciting for me to watch.” He later wrote, “Hey @BlakeLively is in this movie!!”
He also shared a photo of himself taking a picture of the screen, which shows a scene with him and Blake. The actor, who shares four kids with his wife, wrote, “This was not bad foreshadowing for my life as a dad.”
