Blake Lively Reveals Dream-like Connection: Imagining Ryan Reynolds as She Promotes Their New Animated Film ‘IF’

Blake Lively made an Instagram appearance on Wednesday to promote her and husband Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming film, IF, which is directed by John Krasinski.

The 36-year-old actress, who is now filming a new movie in Italy, reshared the animated movie’s teaser on the app’s Stories and included a heartfelt message in remembrance of her 47-year-old beau.

“Everything I had as a child proved to be true.” “His name is @vancityreynolds,” she said on social media with her 44.8 million followers.

“Well, his legal name isn’t At Vancity Reynolds,” she jokingly said. However, he is dreamy and part of the magical @ifmovie.

She shared a promotional graphic of her character, “Kitten of the Sea,” a tiny blue kitten, in a second Stories post.

The 36-year-old actress paid tribute to her 47-year-old beau by reposting the animated film’s teaser on the app’s Stories and adding a heartfelt message.

As the post’s soundtrack, she even made a passing allusion to Jessica Simpson’s well-known ‘chicken of the sea’ incident from the early 2000s, which was featured in the singer’s 1999 song I Wanna Love You Forever.

Along with John, Ryan co-produced the next movie.

The family comedy, which stars Cailey Fleming as Bea, a girl who can see people’s imaginary friends, or “IFs,” was written and directed by John, 44.

John represents Bea’s father, while Ryan plays Cal, Bea’s neighbor who possesses the same ability to see IFs.

Bradley Cooper, George Clooney, Steve Carell, and Emily Blunt, Krasinski’s wife, are all featured in the film.

Maya Rudolph, Amy Schumer, Matt Damon, and Sam Rockwell are also anticipated to appear in the film.

The movie’s first trailer debuted in December 2023, and on May 17 it will formally hit theaters.

Following his success as writer, director, and producer of A Quiet Place and its sequel, A Quiet Place Part II, comes the release of the feature film.

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.’
