Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have made roasting each other one of the most recognizable parts of their relationship. The couple first met while filming Green Lantern in 2010 and tied the knot in 2012, building a marriage that has lasted over a decade. Their playful jabs, hilarious social media exchanges, and perfectly timed comebacks have become a unique expression of their love. Despite facing intense public attention, including the legal battle surrounding It Ends With Us and Justin Baldoni, Blake and Ryan have continued to support each other through difficult moments.

Their humor has remained a constant reminder of the friendship and trust at the center of their marriage. These five unforgettable roast moments capture how their teasing is more than just comedy; it is the couple’s way of showing affection, keeping the spark alive, and celebrating the bond they share.

1. Ryan Reynolds’ fake missing person alert for Blake Lively was priceless

Blake Lively’s “missing person” stunt for A Simple Favor gave Ryan Reynolds the perfect opportunity to deliver one of his most memorable roasts. While promoting the mystery thriller, Blake disappeared from Instagram as part of the film’s viral marketing campaign. She deleted all her photos, removed her profile picture, unfollowed everyone on the platform, including Ryan, and changed her bio to the mysterious message: “What happened to Emily?…”

Ryan immediately played along, turning her social media disappearance into a fake personal crisis. He joked that being unfollowed by his wife was a painful experience and told an interviewer, “It stings. It’s a terrible way to find out that I’ve been kicked out of the house.”

He continued the joke during a morning talk show appearance, pretending that Blake’s disappearance had left him struggling to manage their daughters alone. Ryan even joked that when he asked his young daughter, “What happened to Emily?” she would panic.

By transforming Blake’s clever movie promotion into a hilarious story about his “abandoned” husband life, Ryan helped create even more buzz around A Simple Favor while showcasing the playful banter that has become a trademark of their relationship.

2. The Blake Lively birthday tribute that perfectly captured their playful marriage

Ryan Reynolds proved that his birthday tributes come with a special ingredient: lovingly embarrassing Blake Lively. For Blake’s 32nd birthday in August 2019, Ryan skipped the usual romantic celebrity post and instead created a hilarious Instagram carousel using ten of the most unflattering photos of his wife. The collection featured Blake caught at her most unprepared, including pictures where her eyes were closed, she was looking away, making funny expressions, or completely blurred by motion.

Meanwhile, Ryan somehow managed to look camera-ready in every shot, making the joke even more brutal. He kept the caption simple with: “Happy Birthday, @blakelively.” Fans immediately praised Ryan’s commitment to the roast, with many joking about how brave he was for posting such a savage tribute. Blake later addressed the birthday prank on Good Morning America, admitting she was amazed by how many awkward photos Ryan had found.

She joked, “It’s alarming to me how many of these photos he found where I look like this,” while adding that Ryan looked handsome in every picture and she needed to “work on” her photo face. Blake also teased that she already had a comeback planned, proving their playful battle of birthday roasts was far from finished.

3. When Ryan Gosling stole the spotlight for Ryan Reynolds’ birthday

Ryan Gosling’s birthday prank was not a random joke; it was the payoff of a perfectly executed social media rivalry between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. It all started in August 2017 when Blake celebrated her 30th birthday. Instead of posting a romantic photo of his wife, Ryan delivered his signature humor by sharing a Met Gala picture of the couple and cropping Blake almost completely out of the frame. The image featured mostly Ryan, with only a tiny glimpse of Blake visible, paired with the hilariously ironic caption: “Happy Birthday to my amazing wife.”

Blake waited two months before delivering her revenge on Ryan’s 41st birthday. She copied his exact strategy but took it further by posting a photo of Ryan Reynolds standing beside Ryan Gosling at the Critics’ Choice Awards. She cropped her husband almost entirely out, leaving only a small piece of his ear, jawline, and shoulder while making Gosling the star of the image.

Her simple caption, “Happy Birthday, baby,” made the joke even funnier. The post became an instant viral moment, combining perfect karma, the internet’s love for the two famous Canadian Ryans, and Blake’s unmatched comedic timing. Even Ryan admitted defeat, commenting “Awesome” under the post, proving their playful roasting dynamic was a two-way street.

4. Blake Lively hilariously refused to share spoilers with Ryan Reynolds

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ A Simple Favor spoiler exchange became one of their funniest examples of turning everyday moments into a public roast battle. While Blake was promoting the 2018 mystery-thriller, fans were obsessed with the question at the center of the film’s marketing campaign: “What happened to Emily?” Ryan decided he deserved answers, especially as her husband. Ryan took to Twitter after sharing a teaser trailer for the movie and jokingly appealed to their marriage history as his reason for getting insider information.

He wrote, “You can tell me. We’re married. You once drove me to the hospital when you were giving birth. So… what the f**k happened to Emily?” His dramatic plea made it seem like even a husband of many years was being kept out of the biggest secret.

Blake refused to give him anything, instead responding with a comeback that was somehow more mysterious than the film itself. “Oh darling, of all the secrets I’m keeping from you, this should be the LEAST of your concerns trust me,” she wrote. Her reply instantly became a fan-favorite moment, perfectly capturing their relationship dynamic: Ryan may be the king of comedy, but Blake knows exactly how to deliver a roast that leaves him speechless. The exchange also helped build excitement for A Simple Favor while proving their teasing is built on genuine affection and a shared sense of humor.

5. Ryan Reynolds delivered a savage yet hilarious comeback

Being one of Hollywood’s most famous couples means Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds often find themselves at the center of tabloid speculation. Instead of releasing a serious statement to address rumors about their marriage, Ryan used the one thing he always turns to: humor. In March 2018, a media outlet claimed that the couple was struggling to spend “quality time” together because of their busy schedules. The report, which was shared on social media and tagged Ryan, suggested their marriage was under strain. Rather than letting the rumor create unnecessary drama, Ryan responded with his signature sarcasm.

Ryan retweeted the report and wrote, “I wish. I could use a little ‘me time.’” His short but hilarious reply completely flipped the narrative, making it clear that the only “problem” was the relatable chaos of family life. By joking that a rumored breakup sounded like a chance for some personal time, Ryan dismissed the gossip while giving fans another glimpse into their playful relationship. The moment became another example of how the couple uses humor to handle public attention.

Their roasting tradition has continued with countless hilarious moments, including Ryan’s jokes about Blake’s baking skills, their playful birthday tributes, and their constant social media trolling. Through every joke and comeback, Blake and Ryan continue to prove that their humour remains one of the strongest parts of their decade-long love story, even when all their friends have left them behind.
