Blake Lively has poked fun at her Canadian-born husband Ryan Reynolds after he voted in a US presidential election for the first time.

The Hollywood couple celebrated filling in their ballots with posts on Instagram, encouraging others to also use their vote.

Ryan, who was born in Vancouver before becoming a naturalised US citizen in 2018, posted a picture of him and Blake together holding their ballots and the caption was suitably silly.

“This is my first time voting in America,” he wrote. “I’d like to thank my wife Blake for making my first time so gentle and loving. It was super scary at first, then exciting and now I’m a little tired. But proud. #VoteEarly”

Blake shared the same picture and couldn’t resist poking fun at her husband.

“It was Ryan’s first time. He was understandably scared. It all happened so fast. Like, REALLY fast. He wept. I pretended to weep. Then he called all his friend,” she joked.

The US election is scheduled for November 3.
