Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Over the years, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have become one of Hollywood's most adored couples, not just for their stunning appearances on the red carpet but for their candid and playful interactions on social media. This year, Ryan's heartwarming tribute to his wife, Blake Lively, on her 36th birthday, gave fans a rare, (publicly) sincere and troll-free glimpse into their relationship.
Marking the occasion, the actor took to Instagram to post a carousel of endearing photos, including snapshots from their romantic beach holiday. His caption showcased the profound love he harbors for his wife of over a decade: "The only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person. 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."

It's worth noting the evolution of Ryan's posts for his wife, Blake over the years. His 2022 tribute also comprised some sweet photos of the couple together and the caption read, "Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You're spectacular. I'm not sure if you were born or invented. Also, thank you for urging me to leave the house every now and again."
However, these heartfelt messages are strikingly different from Reynolds' previous jest-filled posts. Fans might remember the viral 2019 post which featured less flattering images of Blake, humorously captioned, "Happy Birthday, @blakelively." And who could forget the 2021 post where Reynolds playfully showcased a TikTok with Mariah Carey, labeling it as his "favorite thing to ever happen on August 25"? Well, everything is fair in love and war!
The family has also been blessed with good news and cause for celebration this year. Blake subtly announced the birth of their fourth child this February, an update later confirmed by Ryan during a CNBC interview. Eagerly sharing their excitement, he mentioned they were 'very excited' about the newest addition. The couple's commitment to family is evident, as they are now parents to James (7), Inez (6), and Betty (3). (If this rings a bell, yes Taylor Swift did base on folklorian characters on her good friends' children!)
The year 2023 is proving to be quite eventful on the professional front as well for the duo. After welcoming their fourth child, Blake quickly returned to the spotlight, signing on to the film adaptation of 'It Ends With Us' alongside Justin Baldoni. Moreover, a sequel to the 2018 hit 'A Simple Favor' was confirmed, with both Blake and Anna Kendrick set to return. On the other hand, Ryan is immersed in the much-anticipated 'Deadpool 3', slated for a release next year.
