Robyn Lively, the sister of actress Blake Lively, has expressed admiration for her brother-in-law Ryan Reynolds as he turns 49. The celebration took place on Thursday, October 23rd, with the Deadpool actor receiving birthday wishes from friends and family, including Robyn, who shared heartfelt photos on her Instagram account.
In a touching tribute, Robyn highlighted Reynolds’ dedication to his family, emphasizing that time spent away from them is his least favourite thing. She praised his unwavering work ethic, sense of humour, and his tendency to always put family first. Robyn wrote, “He shows up, he gives unconditionally, his work ethic is incomparable, he makes everyone laugh, he’s the first one there and the first to leave because time away from his family is his least favorite thing.”
Among the family’s four children, daughters James (10), Inez (8), and Betty (5), and son Olin (2), Reynolds and Lively have built a strong and loving household since their marriage in 2012. Lively, 38, also showed her appreciation for her sister’s post by ‘liking’ it on Instagram, along with other friends such as Hugh Jackman who shared birthday wishes for Reynolds.
On her Instagram Stories, Robyn continued to praise Reynolds, describing him as one of the hardest-working individuals she has ever known, along with being deeply dedicated and inherently good-hearted. The close bond between the family members was evident through the warm tributes shared on social media on this special occasion.
In recent months, Reynolds has been actively involved in producing the documentary ‘John Candy: I Like Me,’ which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film explores the life and career of the late actor John Candy, showcasing Reynolds’ multifaceted talents both in front of and behind the camera. Meanwhile, Lively has been focused on her beauty brand Blake Brown, participating in industry events and discussions in New York City.
However, not all has been smooth sailing for Lively, who has been engaged in a legal dispute with her ‘It Ends With Us’ director and co-star Justin Baldoni since December 2024. The lawsuit alleges sexual harassment and retaliation on Baldoni’s part, while he denies these claims. The legal proceedings are set to continue into March 2026, adding a layer of complexity to the actress’s professional and personal life.
Looking ahead, Reynolds has an array of screen projects lined up where he will both act and produce, such as ‘Animal Friends’ and ‘Mayday.’ On the other hand, Lively is gearing up for her role in the upcoming rom-com ‘The Survival List,’ showcasing her versatility and talent in the entertainment industry.
As the Reynolds-Lively family continues to navigate the highs and lows of both personal and professional life, their unwavering support for each other remains a key pillar of strength and unity. The birthday celebration offered a glimpse into the deep bond shared within the family, reinforcing the values of love, dedication, and mutual admiration.
The heartfelt tributes and warm messages exchanged on social media serve as a reminder of the importance of family and the power of genuine connections in the fast-paced world of show business. The Reynolds-Lively family’s story is a testament to the enduring nature of love and support that transcends the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
