Actor Ryan Reynolds published a delayed birthday tribute to his wife Blake Lively on Instagram a day after she turned 39 on August 25.
Reynolds shared joint photographs of the couple alongside snapshots of their children, praising both her character and her appearance in the caption.
Birthday message details
Writing on the social media platform, Reynolds described August 25 as the family's Super Bowl and wished a happy birthday to the best person he knows.
He stated that Lively is not only a courageous and deeply kind genius, but also absurdly cute. Reynolds added that he knows how lucky he is that she was born, joking that whenever he hits his head, it is her life that passes before his eyes.
Relationship and family history
The Canadian actor has been married to Lively for almost 14 years. The couple first met in 2010 while filming the movie Green Lantern and began dating the following year in October 2011.
They married on September 9, 2012, in South Carolina. The couple welcomed the first of their four children, a daughter named James, in December 2014.
Legal dispute involvement
The birthday post follows recent legal developments involving Lively and actor Justin Baldoni. Baldoni was ordered to pay Lively $400,000 in legal expenses after previously seeking $8 million in court.
Reynolds previously addressed the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni in April 2026, stating that he was prouder than ever of his wife.
