Blake Lively says she dreamed up husband Ryan Reynolds as she promotes their new animated film IF
Blake Lively appeared on Instagram on Wednesday to promote her and husband Ryan Reynolds‘ new John Krasinski-directed film IF.
The 36-year-old actress — who is working on a new film in Italy — used the app’s Stories to repost a trailer of the animated movie and add a sweet note in tribute to her beau, 47.
‘Everything I believed as a kid did turn out to be true. His name is @vancityreynolds,’ she wrote for her 44.8 million followers to see.
She joked, ‘Well, his legal name isn’t At Vancity Reynolds. But he is dreamy and he is in @ifmovie which is also pure magic.’
In a second Stories post she shared a promotional poster of her character, a small blue cat called ‘Kitten of the Sea.’

And she even loosely referenced Jessica Simpson’s famous ‘chicken of the sea’ moment from the early 2000s as she soundtracked the post to the singer’s 1999 song I Wanna Love You Forever.
Ryan co-produced the upcoming film alongside John.
John, 44, also directed and wrote the family comedy, which stars Cailey Fleming as Bea, a girl who can see people’s imaginary friends — aka ‘IFs.’
Ryan plays the role of Bea’s neighbor, Cal, who has the same ability to see IFs, while John portrays Bea’s dad.
Also in the movie are Krasinski’s wife Emily Blunt, George Clooney, Bradley Cooper, and Steve Carell.
Moviegoers can also expect to see Amy Schumer, Matt Damon, Sam Rockwell, and Maya Rudolph.
The first trailer for the film was released in December 2023, and it comes out in theaters on May 17.
The feature comes on the heels of Krasinski’s success as writer, director and producer of A Quiet Place and the sequel A Quiet Place Part II.

Blake and Ryan met on the set of their movie Green Lantern in 2010 and tied the knot two years later.
The two entertainers are parents to four kids — James, nine, Inez, seven, Betty, four, and a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 they welcomed in 2023.
Back in February the mother-of-four attended the Super Bowl in Las Vegas alongside friend Taylor Swift.
Afterward, she took to social media to reveal she left her kids for the first time to enjoy the sporting event.
The actress playfully wrote in an Instagram caption: ‘Last week I left my kids for the first time ever and wore pants that were shoes. I took pictures upside down and had no clue. I treated a friendship bracelet like a Flat Stanley for my husband like I didn’t realize it wasn’t ‘07.’
