Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have to be one of the world's best celebrity couples. The actors married in 2012, have two daughters together, and expertly show how to troll your loved one on Instagram. Behold, exhibit A: [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BYPd9jJjoIV/?taken-by=vancityreynolds]] It's clear the couple don't take themselves too seriously, and that includes Lively not being afraid to speak candidly about her body and the huge effort it took to work on her postpartum body. The 30-year-old took to Instagram to talk about how long it took to remove the 61lbs (28kg) she put on while pregnant with Ines, who was born in September of 2016. Most of us were shocked to hear Lively had so much to lose, but it's a reminder that the carefully selected outfits for our favourite celebs, as well as the controlled environments in which they roam, are strategically organised to show them in a favourable light. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BacdZ4XAIRn/?taken-by=blakelively]] But Lively decided to take down that veil, and get real about what it has been like since giving birth to her second child. Posting a post-workout picture to Instagram, Lively said that it took a whole of 14 months to get back into shape. "Turns out you can’t lose the 61 lbs you gained during pregnancy by just scrolling through instragram and wondering why you don’t look like all the bikini models," she wrote in the caption of the post. "Thanks @donsaladino for kickin my A double S into shape. 10 months to gain, 14 months to lose. Feeling very proud". [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BfGrZfxg5sW/?taken-by=blakelively]] By staying dedicated to what must have been a rigorous, long-term workout plan, she lost the weight with the help of well-known celebrity trainer Don Saladino. The NYC-based fitness coach has trained other A-list clients including Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, and Ryan Gosling, as well as Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds has been training hard for the latest Deadpool film. Can you imagine the two of them working out together? *heart eyes* [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BbSZzgMF4nl/?taken-by=donsaladino]] Saladino also posted a picture of him and Lively celebrating her stunning new post-baby figure. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BfG6rRslId9/?taken-by=donsaladino]] She looks better than ever, but it was also a kind reminder that it can take a long time for your body to recover (and hey, give it a break! You just created another human being for Pete's sake!). People flooded Lively's post with gratitude for the star's honesty. "Thanks for saying 14 months to lose," one person wrote in the comments. "Others make us think it is magic, like a month after they are even slimmer than pre pregnancy." Another added: "Thank you for being realistic in how long it takes to lose it! These beautiful babies take priority after all!". However, some people also chose to point out that Lively is in a privileged position and has resources available to her that others don't. "You look amazing!! I wish I had somebody to take care of the kids while I was training," one person commented. "She looks AMAZING. BUT it doesn't hurt when you're rich and famous and have the best trainers and nutritionists, house keepers etc money can buy," another added. Nevertheless, her hard work and dedication paid off and she's proud of her body. And that's what counts. Well, as well as this message left by a fan: "Ok you have a point. I should be running over the mountains not sit here scrolling!" Hop to it!

If Chrissy Teigen is the queen of Twitter and Kylie Jenner is the master of Instagram, then Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are the reigning couple of all social media. They have racked up countless times where they represented the ultimate couple goals, never letting any sentimental statement or romantic gesture be published without some humour to go with it. Even apart they get plenty of admiration from their followers on Instagram and Twitter, from Reynolds' frequent Deadpool-related joke messages to Lively's honesty about her body image. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bam3Lk6A_BA/?taken-by=blakelively]] Recently, Lively received a range of responses from fans after she shared a photo of herself with her personal trainer, happy to have finally lost the weight she gained from her pregnancy in 2016. After spending the last 14 months working off the 61 pounds she gained, she amassed over 2 million likes with a shot of her with trainer Don Saladino. In the Instagram caption she wrote: "Turns out you can’t lose the 61 lbs you gained during pregnancy by just scrolling through instragram and wondering why you don’t look like all the bikini models. Thanks @donsaladino for kickin my A double S into shape. 10 months to gain, 14 months to lose. Feeling very proud" Some commenters took issue with the fact that most mothers don't have the resources available to the rich and famous. "I don't mean to be negative, but this isn't the reality for most moms/women out there," one user wrote. "Not everyone can afford personal trainers who can do that ASAP". However, most of the response was overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating her honesty when it comes to struggling to lose the weight. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BfGrZfxg5sW/]] Reynolds, on the other hand, ends up using his Instagram to troll other people for the most part. While he has sent many hilarious birthday messages in the full costume as his superhero alter-ego Deadpool, he also took aim at fellow superhero actor Henry Cavill recently in the trailer for his superhero sequel, Deadpool 2. Referencing the fact that Warner Brothers spent $25 million dollars to digitally remove Cavill's mustache that another studio refused to let him shave (he was filming a Mission: Impossible sequel at the time), he brought it up in the recent trailer. As Josh Brolin's cable hits the screen, rather than his CGI metal arm, we only see the green screen sleeve before the effects are added. "Dale! Why are the visual effects not done?" Reynolds' voiceover asks. "It's a metal arm! It's not like we're trying to remove a mustache". Now the couple have come together once again for some light-hearted trolling. For his Valentine's Day message to his wife, Reynolds posted an image of his present to his wife for the special day: 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 over 1.5 million likes already. For all couples out there, they can always look to Hollywood's power couple to see how it's done.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have seemingly welcomed a new member of their family.

While the 35-year-old Gossip Girl alum and the 46-year-old Deadpool star have not yet shared photos of their newborn, Lively did share a picture revealing she's no longer sporting a baby bump.

"Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023 been busy," she captioned an Instagram post, which showed her with Reynolds' mother Tammy as well as her doting husband ahead of the Super Bowl.

The post also contained pictures of their Super Bowl meals.

"Did I miss something. Where is the baby bump?" a second wondered.

"The baby is here," another stated.

The pair who tied the knot in 2012, share three daughters: seven-year-old James, five-year-old Inez, and two-year-old Betty.

Lively announced last September that they were expecting another child as she showed off her baby bump at the 10th annual Forbes Power Women's Summit.

Reynolds previously spoke about his growing family in a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight.

"I'm very excited," he told the outlet. "We'd have to be. You know, you'd have to be a moron to do this four times if you didn't like it. It's gonna be nuts, but we're very excited."

Lively also spoke openly about parenting with Reynolds in a 2016 interview with Marie Claire. "Ryan had a nice, normal upbringing, and we want our kids to have the same normal life that we had," she said. "We don't ever want to rob them of what we had, because we'd feel really selfish."

Lively and Reynolds first met on the set of Green Lantern back in 2010 but were both in relationships with other people at the time. They began dating the following year.

Reynolds previously spoke about the important of spending time with his daughters and said this was the reason he wanted to take a hiatus from Hollywood.

Speaking to LinkedIn News Senior Editor at Large Jessi Hempel, Reynolds said: "The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don't want to miss this time with my kids."

He went on to say that he hopes to "live life like a normal human," adding: "I want my kids to have a pretty normal schedule. For many years when my wife Blake would shoot a film, I would not shoot a film and I would be with the kids and vice versa."

"So we would sort of trade-off. We never really worked at the same time. But always we were away. So the kids were away too," he said.

Earlier this week, Blake Lively wowed fans with the news that she is expecting her fourth child.

The Gossip Girl star proudly showed off her baby bump while walking the red carpet at the Forbes Power Women's Summit on Thursday (September 15).

It didn't take long for news of her pregnancy to spread around the world, and for fans to shower the 35-year-old with messages of congratulations.

However, it seems not all the attention Blake has received over the last few days has been welcomed by the actor and her Deadpool star husband Ryan Reynolds.

Yesterday (September 17), Blake took to Instagram to slam the paparazzi for waiting outside her house and harassing her in the wake of her pregnancy announcement, making it clear she would be revealing all information on her own terms.

"Here are photos of me pregnant in real life so the 11 guys waiting outside my home for a sighting will leave me alone," she wrote, alongside a carousel of snaps featuring her growing baby bump.

"You freak me and my kids out," she added, referring to the three children she and her husband already share - James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2.

After calling out invasive paparazzi, Blake also took the opportunity to thank her fans for their support - and for not endorsing media outlets that shared paparazzi pictures of children.

"Thanks to everyone else for all the love and respect and for continuing to unfollow accounts and publications who share photos of children. You have all the power against them. And thank you to the media who have a 'No Kids Policy'. You all make all the difference," she wrote.

Blake's Instagram message is the first time she has explicitly referred to the newest addition to her family. On Thursday evening, she was deliberately coy about her baby bump. When quizzed on whether or not she was pregnant, the Age of Adeline star simply said: "I just like to create."

"Whether that's baking or storytelling or businesses or humans, I just really like creating," she added per E! News.

Congratulations once again to the couple!

At the premiere for Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, star Ryan Reynolds was totally upstaged by his wife, Blake Lively, who revealed her third pregnancy. The glowing Gossip Girl star posed for the cameras in a sequined yellow dress that hugged her baby bump. The couple currently has two daughters, 4-year-old James and 2-year-old Inez.

While they're both Hollywood stars, the couple lives in Bedford, New York, and makes family their focus. "Blake and I don’t do movies at the same time," Reynolds told PEOPLE. "If she is doing a movie in Thailand and I am doing a movie in Vancouver we would just never see each other. We operate as a unit, and that works really well for us."

The parents try to give their children a private life, although that's difficult, given their fame. "My husband and I chose a profession and a side effect of that is your personal life is public," Blake told Marie Claire UK in 2016. "Our child hasn't had the opportunity to choose whether or not she wants her personal life to be public or not. So in order to give her as much normality as possible, we want her to have a childhood like we had."

Of course, many of the couple's followers on social media have kids, and love their relatable stories about the journey of parenthood. "There have been times where I woke up, literally had no idea I had been walking for five minutes," Reynolds told E! News in 2015. "But you love it. You wake up in the middle of the night, you got a big stupid smile on your face. I was telling someone else that. Anything else that woke you up every 45 minutes, you'd kill it. But when it's a baby, it's the best thing that ever happened to you."

As of this writing, neither Reynolds nor Lively have commented on the pregnancy on social media, but they'll probably say something amusing soon. The couple is notorious for trolling each other, and fans love it. Their antics are much more entertaining than couples that share gooey love letters about each other.

For example, last summer Lively joked about cheating on Reynolds with her A Simple Favor co-star, Anna Kendrick. On Instagram, she shared an image of the movie poster, writing, "@annakendrick47 is the hotter, female(r) version of my husband... so, would it reaaaally count as cheating??"

The Deadpool star responded by giving his blessing to the relationship. "The most ambitious crossover event in history," Reynolds wrote. "I’ll miss you both. Tell my story."

Congratulations, Ryan and Blake! (And Ryan, since you're definitely reading this, maybe you could get revenge on Blake by growing a gigantic beer belly and stealing the show at her next movie premiere. Just an idea!)
