Ryan Reynolds has begun shooting Deadpool 3 in London, and Blake Lively made a set visit. At one point, Lively and Reynolds were photographed having a cute, affectionate moment, with Reynolds kissing Lively’s head while in costume. The snap is a rare candid look at the couple’s relationship a decade into marriage.
Production on Lively’s own film project, It Ends With Us, is currently on pause due to the ongoing WGA writers’ strike. With the actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, poised to go on strike too, production will pause on all ongoing projects with union members, presumably including Deadpool 3.
BACKGRID
While Reynolds and Lively are famous for trolling each other on social media, Reynolds has posted some more sincere tributes to his partner on occasion. For her birthday in August, he shared a carousel of intimate photos of them together. He captioned it, “Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You’re spectacular. I’m not sure if you were born or invented. Also, thank you for urging me to leave the house every now and again. ️”
And on Mother’s Day in 2021, Reynolds shared one of his longest tributes to her with almost no joking in it. He wrote:
It can’t be said enough… you’re the heart and soul of every moment this family shares. I’m grateful for the light and for the kindness you smuggle into each and every second of our lives. I see you in the eyes of our children… Every laugh. Every blink and every thoughtful moment of vulnerability. The tender grit it takes to be a mother in 2021 is an act of pure strength and heroism. Never could I have predicted anonymous airport bathroom sex would lead to this. Or how you’d hire Dog The Bounty Hunter to find me. Either way, I’m lucky to reflect a little of the sunlight you shine on all of us. Happy Mother’s Day, my love.
