Ryan Reynolds has wished his wife Blake Lively a happy 36th birthday with the sweetest – and surprising – tribute.
"The only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person," he captioned a series of snaps of the actress, the first one showing her sitting on a beach in a wooden chair sideways, smiling at the camera.
"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 added.

David Beckham and Michael B. Jordan were among the famous faces to send birthday wishes Blake's way, but the surprise came as Ryan is notorious for actually sharing pictures of Blake pulling funny faces, mid-action, or even not in the frame.

Blake's special week also included a new promotional video for her brand, Betty Buzz, which featured Paul Hollywood of Great British Bake Off fame.
Taking to Instagram, the mother-of-four, who is a self-confessed Bake Off superfan, shared the video to promote the launch of a new product. In the video Blake appeared at Paul's home – uninvited – with her hands full of the new drink. As Paul, exasperated, asked what she was doing, Blake announced the new alcoholic drinks and asked for his professional feedback.
Paul loved the flavor, and reached out a hand towards Blake, which saw her go to clasp his hand back, believing she was receiving a Hollywood Handshake, only for him to reach for a drink instead.

They have welcomed four children: daughters James, eight, Inez, six, and Betty, three, and a new baby whom Blake gave birth to earlier in 2023. They have not yet revealed their baby's name or gender, although many fans believe Taylor Swift namedropped the child in her song, 'You're On Your Own Kid.'
The actors met on the set of Green Lantern in 2010, but their relationship didn't begin until a year later, and they've credited their friendship for the strong foundation it helped them build.
They exchanged vows at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, on September 9, 2012.

"It's something we'll always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for. It's impossible to reconcile. What we saw at the time was a wedding venue on Pinterest. What we saw after was a place built upon devastating tragedy," he told Fast Company in 2020.
