Blake Lively jokes Ryan Reynolds wants to 'get her pregnant again'

Blake Lively has joked Ryan Reynolds is trying to get her "pregnant again" after he posed with the Deadpool dog.

The 36-year-old actress took to social media to share her dramatic reaction to her husband's appearance at a Deadpool & Wolverine fan event in the UK on Thursday.

Blake revealed that Ryan's decision to pose with Peggy, a pug and Chinese Crested cross, had a profound effect on her.

The mum-of-four reposted a video of Ryan holding the unique canine on her Instagram account along with the message, "SOS. He's trying to get me pregnant again."

Blake added, "Put the dog that you find adorable in spite of societal K9 expectations away and take off that damn teal suit. Rude."

The couple, who have been married since 2012, share daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four, as well as a fourth child, who they welcomed in 2023.

Ryan thrilled the crowd on Thursday when he introduced Peggy, who was voted Britain's ugliest dog, as "aka Mary Puppins and aka Dogpool".

Peggy makes her movie debut as Deadpool's sidekick in Deadpool & Wolverine alongside Ryan and Hugh Jackman.

Ryan later took to his Instagram account to warn people against getting too close to the pup.

"This is Peggy. AKA: Mary Puppins. Alias: @dogpool. Avoid petting her too vigorously. You'll see why in a couple weeks," he wrote.
