Ryan Reynolds responds with the perfect fart joke after Blake Lively unfollowed him on Instagram     DATE: 2024-05-25 07:47:21

It's big news when celebrity couples follow or unfollow each other on social media -- fan accounts track it, news outlets write about it, and people tweet about it.

So it's no surprise that it caused quite a stir when Blake Lively scrubbed her Instagram squeaky clean and unfollowed her husband, Ryan Reynolds. It turns out it's all promotion for her upcoming film A Simple Favor, but that didn't stop Reynolds from cracking some jokes after being asked about about the predicament it put him in.

"It definitely stings," Reynolds joked to a reporter while promoting Deadpool 2.

"It's a terrible way to find out I've been kicked out of the house to be honest," he continued. "Absolutely terrible. I don't know where a rage like that comes from."

The reporter then brought up a great point. "At least the kids are young enough that they don't have to have that conversation that mommy and daddy aren't talking anymore," the reporter said.

"'Mommy unfollowed daddy on Instagram,'" Reynolds joked before adding that in response, his child — either 3 year old James or Ines, who is 1 years old — would just fart.

A child's fart is worth a thousand words, I suppose.
