Well, our favourite celebrity couple is at it again. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are as good actors as they are experts at trolling each other over social media. The pair married in 2012, and seem to be keeping their marriage alive by slinging cheeky jests at each other on Instagram and Twitter.
Naturally, they saw the opportunity on this year's Valentine's Day too, and this time, each of them turned to Instagram to throw shade at the other. "I baked this cake for my wife," Reynolds wrote to accompany a picture of him holding a Valentine's-themed cake. And you betcha there was a catch: "The icing is glue, 'cause I’m not a scientist."

Obviously he didn't ACTUALLY try to feed his wife glue, and Lively has admitted before that he likes to tell the odd white lie on social media.
“He may as well work for the Enquirer,” she told Glamour about his Twitter and Instagram habits. “Everything is a completely made-up scenario. He’ll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh. But oh, I’m so in love with him when he writes that stuff. I mean, I’m in love with him most of the time, but especially with that.”
But based on an Instagram photo uploaded by the actress, it seems she may have snubbed her husband's homemade cake for a different baked good. She was out during the day at the Michael Kors NYFW show and uploaded a photo saturated with Valentine's Day paraphernalia, including a heart-shaped diamond, an all-red ensemble, heart shoes and a pastry with hugs and kisses iced onto it.

And that's not where it ended – oh no, things only get better from here.
Reynolds later posted another picture of him pretending he was trying to text his mother. "Ten minutes in to writing an email to my mom, when I realized there was no phone in my hand," he jested.
And how did Lively respond? In the most savage way possible, of course. She left two comments on her husband's post, starting with: "Why won't this damn app swipe right!?!?!!", before teasing: "@vancityreynolds can you show me how to download that? Ever since Ashley Madison closed I've been so lonely."
Only these two could joke about dating app woes and the infamous service designed for people seeking extramarital affairs.

And to really stick it to her husband on Valentine's day, Lively took the time to write a romantic, heart-emoji-filled post on Instagram to... Michael Kors.
"I [love] you @michaelkors 10 years ago you invited me to be your guest at a @voguemagazine dinner in NYC," she wrote to accompany a picture of her outfit, and another of her standing with the designer himself. "You were literally the person who introduced me to the world of fashion in NYC. From that day on, I’ve been yours. Always. Forever."

Lively spent the day at the Michael Kors NYFW show, dressed in a statement red vinyl jacket from the designer and Louboutins with hearts on them. It was befitting considering the day, and Lively posted a number of photos of the outfit to Instagram, none of which mentioned her husband. But, as always, it seemed to be in good humour, considering Reynolds liked all of Lively's posts from the day.

We love you guys, but it looks like we'll never be able to love you as much as you do each other.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are the ultimate Hollywood couple. Not only are they both successful in their own right as actors in the biggest movies and TV shows around, but they bring a sense of humour to every social media post, individually and when they come together. In fact, a lot of people know them best for how much they troll each other on Instagram and Twitter.
There was the time that Time Magazine honored Ryan Reynolds, with him being brushing shoulders with the world's finest on their list of the 100 Most Influential People of the Year. However, Lively's congratulations poked fun at her husband rather than being as warm and fuzzy as we'd expect her to be.

Then, when it comes to their birthdays, neither of them can keep a straight face and post something sappy and sentimental. For instance, when Blake turned 30, her husband posted a carefully cropped photo, as he wished a "Happy Birthday to my amazing wife".

When it came to be Ryan's 41st birthday, his wife turned the tables on him. Writing "Happy birthday, baby", her revenge saw her pull a similar cropping trick - but with a twist. It turned out that while he did feature in the photo, the center of attention is a different Hollywood Ryan...

Earlier this year, Lively spoke about exactly what makes the pair get on so well. According to the actress, who married Reynolds in 2012 and has since had two daughters with him, this comes down to understanding. Speaking to Good Morning America, she said:
"In general, it's nice to have someone who understands what you're doing. Especially because our job is so weird—you have to be 'married' to other people, it's all so strange. It's never normal, even when you're both doing it."
The star couple aren't stopping any time soon, either, as their hilarious Valentine's messages to one another go to show. Earlier this week, on the special day, Reynolds posted a photo of himself on Instagram with the gift he had made for Blake: a Valentine's cake.
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BfMG_FTlzHD/]]
In the caption, he wrote: "I bake this cake for my wife. The icing is glue, 'cause I'm not a scientist". The photo has already struck a chord with his followers, with nearly two million likes already. But now Lively has gotten back with some light-hearted trolling of her own.
A later post Reynolds put up on the photo-sharing platform was a shot of him in the gym, looking at his hands. As is his way, he made a joke out of it, adding the caption: "Ten minutes in to writing an email to my mom, when I realized there was no phone in my hand."
That's when Lively added her perfect reply:

If you thought these two were the celebrity couple that rules social media, wait until you see Chrissy Teigen's incredibly relatable rant about her husband John Legend.
A lot of celebrity couples talk about how much they love each other, and while some people might find that adorable, others might find it boring (or nauseating). "My better half," "I love her so much," "She completes me," blah blah blah, we get it. Everything they say is a romantic cliche, bundled in heart emojiis. Also, while it's fun to follow celebrities on social media, and get a glimpse into their lives, you can't help but wonder if they're expressing their true personalities, or just putting up an act.
That's why Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are the best celebrity couple (sorry, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle). They're attractive movie stars that don't use their social media to talk about how much they love each other. They use their social media to troll each other (and roast each other) in hilarious fashion. There's no act here. Through their Instagram posts and Tweets, you get a real sense of their personalities, and the way they rag on each other shows their love more than saying "I love you" ever could. (Best of all, there are no heart emojiis.)
Here are seven times Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds won the Internet.
1. Most influential
Time Magazine honored Ryan Reynolds, naming him one of the 100 Most Influential People of the year. At the party, Blake Lively offered her sincere congratulations - to singer John Legend. Sorry, Deadpool.
When Ryan turned 41, Blake got revenge. She wished her husband a happy birthday on Twitter, but posted this photo of him and Ryan Gosling. Well, mostly Ryan Gosling. Hey, you can never have too much Ryan Gosling. He saved jazz in La La Land. Never forget.
In her upcoming movie The Rhythm Section, Blake Lively plays a revenge-seeking assassin, and is almost recognizable. To play this character, she got a severe make-under, going from glossy to frumpy. Ryan poked fun at her shocking new look by uploading a photo of her on the set with the caption "no filter." Savage.
On Instagram, Ryan raves about the new movie All I See Is You (which stars Blake) and adds "Also, I married my wife online, so it was nice to finally meet her in person." Hey, at least she didn't catfish him.
Sure, a human being crawled out of Blake's body, but it's not nearly as impressive as eating a "huge bag of gummy bears." Congratulations, Ryan.

Hopefully more celebrity will follow Blake and Ryan's example, and troll each other hilariously on social media. Especially Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. It will make this royal wedding coverage a lot more entertaining.
For some reason, us ordinary folk derive great enjoyment from peeking into the lives of the rich and famous. Whether we're scrolling through their perfectly curated Instagram accounts or picking up tabloid newspapers, our voyeuristic tendencies are only exemplified when we have a perfect celebrity coupling to get all too interested in.
The list of fan-favourite celebrity couples is ever-growing. I mean, who can forget Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder? In the years since that iconic coupling, we have seen our favourite actors, musicians and models date, marry and then inevitably divorce. And whilst you'd think that after years of reading about their love, lust and heartbreak, we'd get sick of it and concentrate on our own romantic endeavours, you're wrong. We're still way too interested in what the top one per cent does.
And who wouldn't be when there's Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively about? Not only are the two incredibly accomplished and attractive, but their down-to-earth personas have won them a legion of fans.
Despite both being on the A-List circuit, Reynolds and Lively managed to overlook each other until 2010 when they both starred in the DC superhero flick, Green Lantern. After years of just being friends, they got married in 2012 in a top-secret wedding in Charleston, South Carolina.
And now, after the birth of their two adorable daughters, James and Ines, Reynolds and Lively keep proving that they're still very much in love with every hilarious tweet and Instagram snap they post on their social media channels.
So naturally, Lively's doting husband, Ryan Reynolds took to his Instagram account to post an appropriately loving birthday message to Blake on her 30th birthday.
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BYPd9jJjoIV/?hl=en&taken-by=vancityreynolds]]
Well, that wasn't quite what we expected, is it?
"Happy Birthday to my amazing wife," Ryan adorably captioned the photo of him and Blake at a press event. However, in a humorous twist which perfect showcases Reynolds' dry sense of humour, he cropped the photo so that it's mostly of him... with a tiny bit of Blake Lively.
Thankfully, Blake loves Ryan's sense of humour. In fact, she has repeatedly asserted that she was drawn to Reynolds' precisely for his wit and sarcasm. In an interview with Glamour magazine last month, Lively explained that Reynolds' side-splitting tweets about their two-year-old daughter, James are completely made up.
She said:
"He’ll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh. But oh, I’m so in love with him when he writes that stuff."
Well, if they're not "couple goals", I don't know what is. It's clear that Blake and Ryan just get each other. And in a world where people seem to be falling in and out of love so quickly, it's lovely to see two celebs who are so blatantly loved up.
In other news, love certainly is not dead as Anna Faris and Chris Pratt may not be calling quits after all - the two are reportedly attending couples counselling.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have got to be one of the more likeable couples out there, don't they? Often, we find it hard to relate and understand celebrity couples as they seem so different to ourselves, but Lively and Blake seem (relatively) normal.
Of course, both are successful actors that are worth millions of pounds, however, they also appear to be madly in love with one another and enjoy nothing more than trolling each other online. Whether it's poking fun at each other on their birthdays or cropping their photos in a hilarious manner, both Reynolds and Lively are experts when it comes to trolling.
But, for all the giggles they provide on the internet, the two have often spoken about their love for one another, with Reynolds recently admitting that Lively helped him get back in touch with his father, someone who he had lost contact with.
"My dad was a tough guy," Ryan asserted. "He was good in many ways as well, but he was tough on us. This is not meant to be some sob story—everyone carries their own bag of rocks around and I am no different in that regard—but growing up in my house, it was never relaxing or easy and I know that, throughout my life, I’ve dealt with anxiety in different ways."
The actor disclosed that Blake "has a gift for foresight", and that she encouraged him and his father to reconnect before he passed away in 2015. This meant that Ryan's father got to meet his granddaughter - who they, adorably, named James, after him.
"It felt right," Ryan continued. "All family relationships come with some complications. For better or worse, all roads lead to here. At the end of the day, it’s easier to focus on the good stuff than the bad. My father died soon after my daughter was born, but he got to see her, which makes me happy."
It's not the first time Reynolds has opened up about his love for his wife in recent times. Talking about the impact that Lively has made on his life, the actor gushed:
“My family is everything to me," Ryan said. “[Blake has] immeasurably made my life better. She’s my best friend. I absolutely love and respect her. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
However, for all the love and praise he has for Lively, Reynolds couldn't help but resort to his old tactics the other day.
Promoting her latest movie, A Simple Favor, Lively shared a trailer on Twitter—along with a series of emojis. Her husband, however, could not take the mystery any more and decided that he wanted immediate answers. In response to her post, the Deadpool actor tweeted:
"You can tell me. We’re married. You once drove me to the hospital when you were giving birth. So… what the f*ck happened to Emily?"
Not only has Ryan trolled his wife, but he's also revealed a deep secret from their relationship.
It would appear that Reynolds is still seething from his wife unfollowing him on Instagram in order to promote her newest movie. Lively deleted all the photos from her account and followed a few women by the name of Emily. Speaking at the time, Reynolds said:
"It definitely stings. It’s a terrible way to find out that I’ve been kicked out of the house, to be honest. Absolutely terrible. I don’t know where rage like that comes from."
In this dramatic world of celebrity splits and tear-ups, it's nice to have such a naturally enjoyable couple, isn't it?
Two weeks ago, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds's relationship was virtually sacrosanct. The voyeurs of the world greatly enjoyed peeking into their perfect relationship - as they threw loving barbs at each other, and raised their two adorable daughters - all the while starring in a slew of commercially successful ventures and being gifted with Hollywood-worthy good looks.
However, with the news that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan and calling it quits after nine years of marriage, it appears that even the most #CoupleGoals of pairings aren't safe. Certainly, there has been much tabloid speculation that all is not as it seems in the Lively-Reynolds household.
A gossip website recently tweeted out, "Deadpool Ryan Reynolds and wife Blake Lively struggling to spend 'quality time'". The 41-year-old was quick to respond to the rumours - with his trademark sense of humour, of course. "I wish. I could use a little 'me time," he wrote.
However, the rumour mill persisted, and Reynolds was forced to shut it down once more. It all worked out okay though, because he managed to troll his mum in the process.
Last week, Yahoo Entertainment tweeted out: "Ryan Reynolds (@vancityreynolds) joins Blake Lively and his mom on red carpet after shutting down split rumours".
The Deadpool star responded by saying, "We’re never splitting. She’ll always be my mom. No matter how much jazz-cabbage she smokes with her rollerblading friends."
While this should have been enough to dispel the notion that there's strife in Blake and Ryan's marriage, Lively felt the need to take charge yesterday evening. Though she didn't explicitly refer to the rumours, she did take aim at her husband in their usual endearing way - proving that everything is perfectly fine.
The actor took to Instagram to post a photograph of the two smiling at each other - I mean, how adorable, right? Well, not exactly, because rather than waxing lyrical about how proud she is of her husband, Blake took the opportunity to praise her hairstyling skills.
"If there’s one thing I’m infinitely proud of in this picture, it’s the incredible hair styling that I did on myself," the 30-year-0ld asserted.
You see folks, Blake and Ryan are absolutely fine. Sheesh.
Lively recently opened up about one of the reasons why she and Reynolds work so well together, and it has to do with understanding how "bizarre" the whole Hollywood shindig is. "In general, it's nice to have someone who understands what you're doing," she said on a Good Morning America interview. "Especially because our job is so weird—you have to be 'married' to other people, it's all so strange. It's never normal, even when you're both doing it."
So while it does seem like everyone is breaking up, and that "love" writ large is under attack, I think that while Blake and Ryan are still going strong everything will be alright.
