Some couples express their love through grand gestures and heartfelt declarations, but Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have charted a different course.

Here’s a look at 17 of the funniest and most memorable moments when Ryan and Blake took their playful jabs to the next level.
1. Ryan’s Super Bowl APB
During Super Bowl LVIII on February 11, 2024, while Blake Lively was cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs alongside Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram with a hilarious post. As fans and commentators focused on the game and Blake’s high-profile appearance, Ryan humorously posted, “Has everyone seen the #Deadpool trailer? Also, has anyone seen my wife?”
This lighthearted jab was met with a flurry of online responses, with fans flooding social media with GIFs of Blake at the game.

2. The Birthday Cake Prank
Ryan Reynolds is known for his humorous takes on birthdays, and Blake Lively’s birthday was no exception. On her special day, Ryan shared a photo of a hilariously unappealing birthday cake—one that looked more like a Pinterest fail than a sweet treat. The cake was covered in bizarre decorations and off-putting colors, prompting fans to wonder if Ryan was trying to make a statement or simply have a laugh at Blake’s expense.
Blake’s response came swiftly. She posted a video of herself devouring a beautifully crafted, elegant cake, clearly enjoying every bite while subtly shading Ryan’s effort. Her caption read, “Thank you for the cake, darling. Here’s to hoping next year’s is edible.”

Just remember, I still make the rules.”
