Blake Lively is thankful for her “dreamy” husband!

On Wednesday, April 10, the Gossip Girl alum, 36, gushed about Ryan Reynolds’, 47, while sharing the trailer for his upcoming movie IF on her Instagram Stories.

“Everything I believed as a kid did turn out to be true… … his name is @vancityreynolds,” she wrote in a nod to the movie, which follows the story of what happens when a young child's imagination becomes real.

“Well, his legal name isn’t, At Vancity Reynolds. But he is dreamy and he is in @ifmovie which is also pure magic,” added Lively in reference to her husband's 'Vancity Reynolds' account on Instagram.

In February, Lively opened up about how creating a good work-life balance has been key to her relationship with Reynolds. The couple share four children — James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and a 1-year-old baby.

"When Ryan and I got together, we made a rule not to work at the same time," Lively revealed on Amber Tamblyn's Substack show Further Ado, per Entertainment Tonight,. "So that we could always prioritize our personal life."

"That takes working really hard when we're not," Lively added. "Just like financial planning and sustaining that — it takes balance."
