Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have successfully kept their four children out of the spotlight for a decade, which is why fans relish the small updates they share.
The Green Lantern stars, who met on the set of the film in 2010, revealed how they spend quality time together at home with their daughters James, Inez, and Betty, and their son Olin.
"The family that bakes together… Stays sick on buttercream together," Gossip Girl actress Blake captioned a photo of her baked goods on her Instagram Stories. The cupcakes had been decorated with brown, white and green buttercream icing to create cute farmyard animal faces such as horses and pigs.

Ryan's Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman's previous comments suggest Blake's latest photos are an accurate representation of their normal home life behind closed doors.

"Blake will be baking and cooking and saying, ‘Let’s make pizza,’ and then the next thing you turn around," he told Vogue, describing her changing for an event, "and there she is, this incredible star."

"I try not to impose upon them the difference in their childhood to my childhood or my wife’s childhood," he said to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I realized that that’s not really their bag of rocks to carry. They’re already very much in touch with gratitude and understanding of the world enough to have a strong sense of empathy. Those are the things that I would think [would indicate] we’re doing an OK job – if our kids can empathize with other people and other kids."
