Blake Lively celebrated her handsome husband, Ryan Reynolds, on Monday when she took to Instagram with a sweet message and photo. 

The Gossip Girl alum posted a snapshot of the Deadpool actor carrying a skateboard through a park and captioned it: "@avrillavigne, dreams really do come true," before adding more lyrics from the hit song.

The photo comes as the pair privately celebrate the first birthday of their youngest daughter who they are yet to reveal the name of. 

She was born in February 2023 and they've kept the tiny tot out of the spotlight, like their other three children.

Ryan has no problem with being the only man in the household - in fact he loves it. 

Rather than yearning for a boy, Ryan embraces being a 'girl dad' and his comments about his family are adorable.

"I love being a girl dad," he told Access Hollywood. "I have three daughters, which I never in a million years would imagine. I come from all boys, I have three older brothers. So for me to have three daughters has been such a ride and I love every second of it."
