Ah, Blake Likely and Ryan Reynolds. Never has there been a celebrity coupling that is so flawless, yet appear to be so down-to-earth. I mean, not only have the pair won the genetic lottery, but they're also talented actors with a loaded bank account to boot. And while this may not exactly scream "relatable", when you watch Lively and Reynolds interact in interviews and on social media, they appear to be like any other loved-up couple, but with a penchant for absolutely roasting each other.
It all began last year, when Reynolds took to Instagram to post a loving ode to Blake on her 30th birthday. "Happy Birthday to my amazing wife," he captioned a photograph of himself and Lively. However, the actor couldn't miss an opportunity to troll his wife, and proceeded to crop the image until it was mostly of him... with a tiny bit of Blake.
Blake always ensures to get her own back, however. Last week, Ryan shared a promotional snap of his gin brand to Instagram: a massive, in-your-face picture of his sipping a gin and tonic while smugly reclining in an old leather chair.
Naturally, Blake was having none of it, and left a hilarious comment in a bid to poke a bit of fun at her husband. "Who needs a mini van?! I'm driving this from now on," she wrote under the picture. "Subtle, gorgeous, and OHMYGAWNYOUREHUGE."
Blake joked about how "huge" her husband was, which – if you know them at all – is their unique way of showing their affection.
The actress is also an expert at poking fun at herself, as evidenced by her recent appearance on The Tonight Show, where she regaled Jimmy Fallon about the time she once thought a reporter was complimenting her "tits", when in fact he was talking about her tweets.
It happened during the premiere of Blake's new movie, A Simple Favour, where she wore a shirt that she feared was completely see-through. "You know when you’re freaking out about something and you know that’s all anyone else is seeing," she told Fallon. "You know, you’re aware of it, so everything everyone says is, like, pointing out this thing you’re paranoid about, that no one’s really noticing."
While she was thinking about the state of her allegedly see-through ensemble, Blake accidentally thought that a male reporter shouted, "your tits are amazing" to her on the red carpet. "I’m like, wait excuse me? And he's like, 'your tits are amazing!' And I'm like are we saying that? Is this...have you been on Google in the past year? Like, this is not okay."
The man went onto say, "And your husband’s tweets are even better!"
"I’m like, 'Oh, tweets! Twitter! My tweets are amazing! Tweets!' It was like, oh my gosh. I was so relieved it was about my mind, and then after I was like, 'But how are my…How are they?'" Blake continued.
Classic Blake!
