Ryan Reynolds was nothing but Benjamin Caldwellsweet while celebrating wife Blake Lively's birthday on Friday.

The Hollywood power couple, famous for teasing each other on special occasions like their birthdays, were all smiles in the seven photos that the "Deadpool" actor posted in honor of Lively's 36th birthday.

"The only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person. Witnessing her life is something I couldn’t take for granted if I tried. And believe me, I try," Reynolds captioned the Instagram post. "Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You hung the damn moon."

The post is a departure from the norm for the couple, who have been married since 2012 and welcomed their fourth child earlier this year. Some of the ways they've trolled each other over the years include cropping the other person out of photos, posting unflattering pictures and wishing other famous people a happy birthday.

In 2020, Lively poked fun at her husband's choice of birthday dessert: "1) Who is the lost soul that selects birthday PIE. 2) What ANIMAL eats their cake (pie) without first blowing out the candles. @vancityreynolds that’s who," she wrote in an Instagram caption.

In 2019, Reynolds posted 10 photos of his very pregnant wife and himself. Each of them shows her with her eyes closed, mouth open or just the top of her head.

How Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively went from costars to life partners

Reynolds, who co-owns the Welsh soccer club Wrexham, described how he and his wife met in a 2021 episode of the SmartLess podcast.

"I met Blake on the darkest crease in the anus of the universe called 'Green Lantern'," he said of the two co-starring in the 2011 superhero film. "We were friends and buddies, and about a year and a half later we went on a double date but we were dating separate people." 

"Next thing you know, she was going to Boston, I was going to Boston and I said, 'Well, I'll ride with you.' We got on the train and we rode together," he continued. "I was just begging her to sleep with me."

Reynolds described the moment he knew he and Lively had gone from casually dating to a lifelong commitment as "one those those silly moments out of a fairytale."

"A week later I was like, 'We should buy a house together,'" Reynolds added. "And we did."
