Ryan Reynolds Finally Responds To Blake Lively Divorce Rumors: ‘I Wish’
Ryan Reynolds has responded to rumors that his marriage to actress Blake Lively is on the rocks in the most ambiguous way possible. The Deadpool actor, whose sense of humor has earned him more than 10 million followers on Twitter, has addressed the rumor in a recent tweet, according to Bustle.
The 41-year-old actor referenced an IBTimes India article that cited an OK! Magazine insider as saying that the celebrity couple “is struggling to spend quality time,” hinting at an imminent divorce. But Reynolds mocked the rumor on his Twitter account in a playful manner.
“I wish,” Ryan Reynolds wrote. “I could use a little ‘me time.'”
Ryan Reynolds sent those who aren’t familiar with the Deadpool 2 actor’s sense of humor into a frenzy, as they thought Reynolds had just confirmed the divorce rumors. But millions of Reynolds’ diehard fans knew that he was joking around, as the actor is no stranger to roasting his wife on the social media platform. His wife of six years, meanwhile, can stand up for herself and mock her husband in return.
The insider who was originally quoted by OK! Magazine claimed that the couple struggled to find quality time because of their busy work schedule. The unnamed source went on to explain that the actor had been working “out of town” for the past “few years,” while his wife stayed home with their children.
“The distance between them has taken its toll,” the unnamed insider claimed.
