Blake Lively brings daughters to visit husband Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on Deadpool 3 set
Ryan Reynolds got a special treat on Wednesday when his busy shooting day for his upcoming superhero film Deadpool 3 was broken up by a visit from his wife Blake Lively.
The 35-year-old actress looked casual and cool as she dropped by the shoot, which is currently in Norfolk, England, with two of the couple’s older daughters.
And the actor, 46, welcomed his wife of almost eleven years with a sweet kiss and a cuddle as they spent time together on the beach location.
Ryan was suited up in his now-iconic red costume to play the title character, the wisecracking anti-hero Deadpool.
He was joined on set by his longtime friend Hugh Jackman — who has joined in on a years-long campaign of pranking and teasing each other — as he’s set to reprise his role as the X-Men superhero Wolverine.

Blake highlighted her incredible post-baby body on her set visit by wearing a sleek white cropped tank top that showed off a hint of her trim midriff.
She kept the look relaxed with a white long sleeve button-down shirt that she left completely undone.
She also showed off her fashionista instincts with an eye-catching pair of high-waisted navy blue leather pants.
The Age Of Adeline actress wore her long blond hair down and let it flutter about in the breeze.
Blake appeared to have arrived on set between takes, as Ryan was maskless and was able to stop and chat.
The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants star met Ryan in his ill-fated superhero film Green Lantern, which is widely considered one of the worst movies ever made in the genre.
But its critical pans and box office disappointment didn’t slow down the romance, and they were officially dating by the following year.
The couple were controversially married on a plantation in South Carolina in 2012, and they have since welcomed four children: their daughters James, eight; Inez, six; and Betty, three; along with their youngest child, who was born sometime before February, when Blake was spotted without her baby bump.
She and Ryan tend to be protective of their children and haven’t revealed the youngest one’s name or sex.

Expanding brood: They welcomed their fourth child before Blake was seen without her baby bump in February
Mum’s the word: So far they’ve offered few details about the new child, and they haven’t mentioned their sex or name
Sweet: The Green Lantern star picked up one of the little girls while another stood by his side and gripped his utility belt as he chatted in a circle with Hugh and other crew members
Business: The production appears to have moved to the UK so Ryan can oversee his soccer team Wrexham FC, which was promoted back into the English Football League earlier this year
His crimson suit was covered with black padding and holsters for his firearms.
Blake seemed to let Ryan have plenty of time with their daughters while she attended to other businesses.

Ryan and Hugh were previously seen in the same location on Tuesday to film scenes in which Deadpool and Wolverine battled each other, with breaks in between to switch in a pair of stunt doubles for the most dangerous fight moves.
The X-Men star showed some of the signs of that earlier battle, as he had a fake katana blade stuck to his costume so that it appeared to be lodged in his abdomen.
Both Deadpool and Wolverine had super-fast healing as one of their superpowers, so the potentially fatal injury wouldn’t have been of much concern for his character.
The Australian star, 54, previously said that he was done playing the long-running character after he gave him a fitting sendoff with the elegiac X-Men sequel/spinoff film Logan, but his friendship with Ryan seems to have been enough to lure him back.
Reynolds announced the A-list casting in September 2022 with a video to his fans, though he was conveniently drowned out by music when he tried to explain how Wolverine could return for the film after being killed off.
Jackman’s Logan costar Patrick Stewart was also lured back for a cameo appearance in last year’s Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, where he reprised an alternate version of his X-Men leader Charles Xavier.
Going incognito: Ryan’s scenes presumably required the red mask to go back on, as his character has a scarred face and bald head

Ouch! The X-Men star showed some of the signs of that earlier battle, as he had a fake katana blade stuck to his costume so that it appeared to be lodged in his abdomen
Back for more: Ryan announced in September that Jackman was reviving the Wolverine character for Deadpool 3, despite seemingly being done with him after wrapping up his story with Logan
Not ruining a perfect ending: Hugh revealed last year that Deadpool will use a time machine to bring him into the film before he died in Logan, leaving the events of that film intact
Hugh later clarified the tricky means by which the film is bringing back Wolverine during an interview with SiriusXM’s Radio Andy in December 2022.
According to the Australian screen and stage star, Deadpool will use a time machine to save him before he died in the previous film, so as not to ‘screw with Logan,’ which was important to him.
He was also excited to join the new project because of the chance to film the buddy comedy he had imagined in his head ever since seeing the first Deadpool film.
‘If I’m really honest, I’d announced Logan was my last and then I went to see the Deadpool movie and I was 20 minutes in and I was like, “Curses!: All I could see that whole movie was — first of all I loved the movie — but all I could see was Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy in 48 Hours. And I was like, “This is something I haven’t done with the character. That’s the kind of dynamic we haven’t had before.”‘
