Almost a week after showing the worldshe can rival her husband, Ryan Reynolds, when it comes to posting hilarious messages on social media, Blake Lively is back to what she does best (other than fashion and acting, of course) and has posted the most hilarious birthday tribute to her husband.

To celebrate Reynold's 41st birthday, the mother-of-two took to Instagram to send her well wishes to her husband of five years.

'Happy Birthday, baby,' Lively wrote alongside a pic of Ryan Gosling and a cropped out Reynolds at the Critics' Choice Awards in 2016.

The post comes two months after Reynolds cropped Lively out of a picture of the couple at the 2014 Met Gala. 'Happy Birthday to my amazing wife,' he captioned the snap.

It appears the Deadpool actor couldn't get enough of his wife's joke, and commented on the picture: 'Awesome.'

Earlier in the day, Reynolds revealed to his Twitter followers how he kicked off his birthday celebrations with his family.

Lively's joke comes day after she opened up on Good Morning America on the secret to her happy marriage with the actor.

'In general, yeah, it's nice to have somebody who understands what you're doing. Especially because our job is so weird—we have to, you know, like be married to other people, and it's all so strange. It's still strange. It's never normal, even when we're both doing it.'

Happy birthday, Ryan!
