Remember when Blake Lively brilliantly executed the most public yet intimate dig at her husband Ryan Reynolds? Ah, nostalgia! Let's jog down the memory lane to one of the internet's finest moments in couple trolling.
Queen Blake Serves Epic Troll Realness
"Worth it to pay for the channel just to watch Ryan Reynolds' 'crippling anxiety live'", remarked the 'A Simple Favor' actress on her Instagram Stories, as reported by Cinemablend. Back in 2020, Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the Welsh football team Wrexham AFC, and the drama was real during a tie game against Sheffield United in the FA Cup. Lively, pregnant with their fourth child at the time, ponied up for an ESPN+ subscription just to get a front-row virtual seat to her hubby's nervous breakdown.
From Spirited Dance Moves to Spirited Trolling
Love and concern are never far behind Blake and Ryan's social media antics. Who could forget Lively's iconic comment on Reynolds rehearsing with Will Ferrell for their holiday movie 'Spirited'? "Can you get pregnant while pregnant??" Blake quipped, showcasing her ability to simultaneously express love and keep her spouse in check.
The Gift of Trolling Keeps on Giving
Blake's ESPN+ escapade was not an isolated incident. Early in 2023, she joked about tattooing Reynolds' face on her pregnant belly, to which Reynolds responded that he'd already inked his own visage on his thigh. Love, humor, and just a dash of humiliation—ah, the ingredients of a lasting Hollywood marriage.
There's No Business Like #CoupleGoals Business
In an industry where even love can come with a script, Blake and Ryan's authenticity feels like a breath of fresh air. Their trolling is a lesson in modern love, a playful battle of wits filled with "love and concern" for each other. The Gossip Girl alum has mastered the balance of expressing her love and keeping her hubby humble, serving #CoupleGoals one Instagram story at a time.
When it comes to being hilariously in love, Blake and Ryan are truly in a league of their own. So next time you watch a Wrexham AFC game, remember: The real show might just be happening off the field.
