BLAKE Lively has shut down rumors that she and Ryan Reynolds are headed for divorce.
The Shallows actress set the record straight on social media, replying directly to a comment from a fan.
Blake, 36, shared a collection of photos and videos of her and her husband Ryan, 47, including several looks at the actor on the set of his new film, Deadpool and Wolverine.
The first snap in the bunch showed her kissing the actor, who was dressed in his full costume with fake burns on his head and face.
She then posted a video that began with her mouthing to a popular audio.
“Tell me Deadpool’s married to a millennial girl without telling me,” she said.
Footage then rolled of Ryan as Deadpool while referencing several millennial pop-culture songs, movies, and moments.
“I have never felt more seen,” she mouthed as the video ended.
In the comments, a fan wrote, “You and Ryan need to post more of each other, there were rumors going around that you two got divorced and I didn’t believe it because you two are literally the perfect couple [read heart emoji].”
“Haha they wish [crying-while-laughing emoji],” Blake responded.
In her caption, she gushed about her husband and his work, adding all the “millennial girl” references in Deadpool and Wolverine.

“Brb I’m buying milky pens to write your name on my hand @vancityreynolds,” she began.
“My y2k girlies, I should be competitive bc @itendswithusmovie is coming out in 3 weeks BUT when your middle school obsessions, your feelings post baby, or about Nice men who use feminism as a tool, your love of the Wizard of Oz, Succession, Sandy & Danny, driving with Avril [Lavigne] blasting, the way the choreography of a certain boy*band song got me, of Baz Luhrmann fireworks to punctuate a moment, even down to the fact that our hair color is determined by seasons and the French method by which it’s painted are all so seen…MY WORD… it’s hard not to encourage my ladies to spot all the ways we’ve been influenced @deadpoolmovie I’ve never been more proud. And I’ve given birth 4 times.”
GROWING FAMILY
Blake and Ryan tend to keep their family life out of the spotlight.
The couple share four children, with the youngest arriving in February 2023.

A year after their youngest child’s birth, Blake and Ryan have stayed tight-lipped about the baby’s name.
The sex of the baby has not been revealed.
“The couple call their fourth child Obi,” an insider told InTouch.
“It’s short for a longer name and its origin is incredibly deep and meaningful.”
Blake and Ryan have three other children: James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4.
According to InTouch’s source, their fourth baby’s name is a tribute to a show.
“It’s also a nod to one of the characters in Gossip Girl,” the insider said.
Blake played Serena van der Woodsen on the popular teen drama from 2007 to 2012.
She did not return for the Gossip Girl reboot, which ran from July 2021 to January 2023.
It’s believed that the character being referenced by Blake and Ryan’s youngest child is Otto ‘Obie’ Bergman IV, who was played by Eli Brown.
BABY MAKES FOUR
Blake appeared to announce the arrival of her fourth child on social media in February 2023.
She posted a pic of herself standing between her Wrexham AFC owner husband and his mother Tammy.
Blake was not sporting a baby bump in the photo, as she had been in the months leading up to the post.
She wore a black tank top and blue jeans that showed off her flat stomach.
“Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023,” she wrote, adding, “been busy.”
Fans in the comments were quick to point out that Blake’s bump was gone.
“Epic post! For all the reasons!!!,” Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld wrote.
“The baby is here,” commented another fan.
“Thought the same!!” replied another.
“They’ll probs keep it private for now like they did w/ their past daughters,” speculated a third fan.
“Did I miss something? Where is the baby bump?” questioned another.
“At first, I thought this was a throwback pic (baby bump no more?!),” noted a fifth commenter.
“This must be her birth announcement,” concluded someone else.
Blake kept much of her pregnancy under wraps.
She was spotted at an event on September 15, 2022, at a New York Fashion Week event, visibly pregnant.
Days later, the actress posted a series of pregnancy pics online.
“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 captioned the post.
