Fans Skeptical of Ryan Reynolds' 'Unusually Lovely' Birthday Post for Blake Lively
Ryan Reynolds is known for being a jokester, using a dry sense of humor in most of his social media posts. But to celebrate his wife Blake Lively's 36th birthday, the Deadpool star went for a sincere, heartfelt message, surprising fans.
The Definitely, Maybe actor wrote in an Instagram post, "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."
He accompanied his celebratory tribute with a collection of photos of their time together. One snap features Lively sitting by the beach at night, smiling. Reynolds also included a series of snaps from a sunny day at the beach, with the couple wearing matching white ensembles. Other photos appeared to be taken in front of their stunning estate in Pound Ridge, New York.
Fans were shocked that Reynolds went for the rare, candid route with his birthday post.
A fan wondered, "wait actual normal pictures, are you okay????????" Another quipped, "Ryan’s probably being held at gunpoint by Blake bc there’s no other explanation he didn’t even post a bad picture." Someone else mentioned, "this is the first time ive seen a genuine heartfelt message from him." A different fan wrote, "This is an unusually lovely birthday post - is everything ok?"
