Blake Lively Jokes Her Trainer Is Not Dad to Her Kids
Spotted: Blake Lively snapping sizzling pics of her husband Ryan Reynolds.
As the Deadpool actor gave a shout-out to his fitness trainer Don Saladino for getting him ready for the “Big Red Body Condom” that is his character’s costume, he posted photos of the duo working out that had been taken by his “instagram boyfriend” Blake.
In fact, you can actually see the Gossip Girl alum in the background of the image. Blake then proceeded to zoom in on both her appearance in the snap and her photography skills.
“Find yourself a better Instagram boyfriend than me,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories Nov. 12, adding fire, sweat, kiss and spicy pepper emojis alongside Ryan’s muscles. “I’ll wait.”
After all, Blake knows that not all heroes wear capes.
“Bc I know low key capturing thirst content of your fine ass husband is not just photography,” the actress added, “it’s a public service.”
Of course, the post should come as no surprise to fans considering Blake and Ryan—who share daughters James, 8; Inez, 7; Betty, 4; and a baby whose name and sex have yet to be revealed—often playfully troll each other on social media. Still, the A Simple Favor star and the Wrexham AFC co-owner let their love and support for each other be known, too—like when Ryan shared a sweet tribute on her 36th birthday in August.
“The only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person,” he wrote on Instagram alongside photos of Blake. “Witnessing her life is something I couldn’t take for granted if I tried. And believe me, I try. Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You hung the damn moon.”
To see some of Blake and Ryan’s social media trolling moments from over the years, keep reading.
Birthday Competition
Blake put the pressure on Ryan to up his game on her next birthday tribute, after he created a fully produced music video for friend Rob McElhenney’s birthday in April 2023. “That’s a lot of effort you put into this,” she wrote on social media. “Can’t wait for August 25th.”

Goal!
The actress trolled her husband as he attended a particularly gripping match of his soccer team, Wrexham AFC on Jan. 29, 2023, at the Racecourse Ground stadium in Wrexham, Wales. The 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.”
A Hair-Raising Post
Blake Lively had a question for her husband Ryan Reynolds, 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?”

Straight to the Couch
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 Reynolds claimed he was “revolutionizing the category,” Lively replied, “@vancityreynolds, my love, feel free to revolutionize the couch when you sleep on it tonight!!”

Time for a Sabbatical
In October 2021, after Ryan announced on Instagram that he planned to take a “little sabbatical from movie making,” Blake commented, “Michael Caine did it first,” referring to a recent interview in which the Dark Knight actor hinted that he had shot his final film. He later clarified that he has not retired from acting.
Birthday Banter
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.”

Gigi Hadid > Ryan Reynolds
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.”

Vaxxed
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 took to his Instagram Story to survey 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.”

Green Lantern Discovery
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 Lively. The actor, who shares three daughters with his wife, wrote, “This was not bad foreshadowing for my life as a dad.”
Couldn’t Help Himself
In December 2020, after seeing a video on the Frida Mom Instagram page that advised new moms about “what dicks to avoid” after giving birth, Ryan just couldn’t help but give Blake a shout-out, commenting “I’d tag @blakelively but I’m afraid that might not go well for me.”
Just Desserts
Also in December 2020, Blake shared on her Instagram Story four of her “favorite things in the world” from Vancouver—a bunch of dessers.
Blake, whose husband Ryan Reynolds was born in the Canadian city, then jokingly teased her followers, “…Who did you think I was gonna say??” However, she did give her superhero a subtle nod with a Deadpool GIF in the corner.
E!
OOTO Woes
In August 2020, after it was reported that Ryan had sold his co-owned liquor company Aviation American Gin for $610 million, he celebrated the only way he knew how: He penned a snarky “Out of Office” e-mail that addressed his wife in his “apology” letter, also listing Dwayne Johnson, Betty White, AMC Theaters, Total Wine and TGI Friday’s among others.
“I just learned what an ‘earn out’ is… And I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone I told to go f–k themselves in the last 24 hours,” he wrote. “The point is, to those listed below, I’m sorry… and I’ll indeed be needing your help in the coming months and years.”
Baby No. 4?
When Ryan posted a promotional pic for his gin company in July 2020, Blake, being a supportive wife, commented, “I think this just got me pregnant.”
But fans hoping for news about the couple possibly adding to their brood were left disappointed when her husband promptly replied with an “out of the office” message. “I will be out of the office starting July 22nd through the middle of forever and ever,” his message stated. “If you need immediate assistance during by absence, please contact someone. Anyone. Otherwise I will respond to your message as soon as possible upon my unlikely return. Thank you.”
A Double Troll
The Initial Post: In April 2020, Blake poked fun at Ryan’s new hairdo in quarantine, posting a photo of his baby man-bun to her Instagram Stories. “I dare you to forget this every time you see him for the rest of eternity,” she quipped in her caption.
The Counter Post: The Deadpool star shared the image to his own Instagram Stories, writing, “Clearly your birth control doesn’t work, so…”
Swiping Right
In April 2020, after Ryan gave his fitness trainer Don Saladino a shout-out on his Stories about at-home workouts, Blake naturally seized the opportunity to poke fun at the post, noting that the celebrity trainer’s shirtless promotional image felt very Tinder-esque.
Reposting his original story to her account, she replied, “@vancityreynolds I keep swiping right. This isn’t working,” adding, “Oh…swipe UP.”

Blake’s 32nd Birthday
Never forget when Ryan decided to celebrate The Shallows star’s big day in 2019 by posting not one, not two but ten less-than-flattering photos of her in an Instagram carousel…which we will now re-post a few of, obviously.

Blake’s 30th Birthday
For the milestone birthday in 2017, Ryan decided to go all out, posting a glamorous photo of the couple from the 2014 Met Gala in his Instagram tribute to Blake…save for the fact that he cropped her out of the pic. “Happy Birthday to my amazing wife,” he wrote.

May the Best Ryan Win
Blake returned the favor when it came to Ryan’s 41st birthday in 2017, with her husband even admitting how “awesome” her Instagram post was. “Happy Birthday, baby,” she wrote alongside a pic of Ryan Gosling and a cropped out Ryan Reynolds at the Critics’ Choice Awards in 2016.
Ah, revenge is sweet.

A Simple Request
While promoting her 2018 movie A Simple Favor, Blake had to deal with Ryan tweeting at her for spoilers about what happened to her missing character. “You can tell me. We’re married” he wrote. “You once drove me to the hospital when you were giving birth. So… what the f–k happened to Emily?”
In response, Blake tweeted, “Oh darling, of all the secrets I’m keeping from you, this should be the LEAST of your concerns… trust me.”

You Can Grab One Thing…
In 2019, after Blake gifted Ryan with an original Danny Galieote painting, the Buried actor posted a heartfelt thank you message on Instagram, almost making it through the entire caption without a joke. “This piece of art is the greatest present my wife has ever given me,” he wrote. “If there’s ever a fire, I’m grabbing this first. I’ll come back for Blake.”
Hey, at least he said he’d come back for her?
Chill, Ryan!
In 2019, Ryan was excited when Aviation Gin was ranked as one of the best celebrity spirits by drink experts VinePair, so he did what anyone else would do: Posted about the achievement on social media a lot, prompting Blake to poke fun at his lack of cool.
“My husband has no chill,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, showing her followers that Ryan didn’t waste any time to point out his brand’s ranking. “…Literally 37 mins later.”
She also shared a screenshot from the Aviation Gin Instagram, which posted VinePair’s original article and review of the brand. She sarcastically wrote, “…In case you missed it?”

Planning His Escape
When the divorce rumors continued to pop up in 2018, Reynolds used his Aviation Gin out-of-office email to poke fun at the unconfirmed reports. Posting his schedule, Ryan devoted much of his Monday that week to gym, tan and laundry, and that night, he attended a screening of Blake’s movie, A Simple Favor. The planner noted, “No divorce jokes!!”
An hour later though, Reynolds scheduled himself to, “Sneak out of MOMA screening to regroup. It can’t all be about you. This is her moment. Get it together, asshole.”

In Need of Some Alone Time
In March 2018, an unconfirmed report said the couple had been struggling to spend quality time together because they were both busy working. Never one to resist publicly shutting down a rumor, Ryan retweeted the story, writing, “I wish. I could use a little ‘me time.'”

Three’s Company
In June 2018, Blake posted an Instagram of a poster for her movie A Simple Favor with co-star Anna Kendrick and wrote, “@annakendrick47 is the hotter, female(r) version of my husband…so, would it really count as cheating??”
Ryan, of course, inserted his own two cents. “The most ambitious crossover event in history,” he quipped. “I’ll miss you both. Tell my story.”
A Good Picker
“I picked a good one,” Blake wrote in her caption for Ryan’s birthday in October 2019. Yeah, you did, girl.
