Ryan Reynolds celebrated his 48th birthday in a heartwarming fashion on October 23rd, enjoying a memorable evening on Broadway with his wife, Blake Lively, and their three eldest daughters—James, Inez, and Betty. The family gathered to watch the musical & Juliet, which provides a fresh twist on the classic love story of Romeo and Juliet.

Blake shared her thoughts on the special occasion, expressing her excitement to the cast, saying, “I don’t know what to get him for his birthday. What do you get him for his birthday? I know he loves musicals, I love musicals, the kids love musicals, so it felt like the right choice.” She added that their daughters were so enchanted by the performance that they eagerly expressed a desire to return the next day.

The musical, which opened on Broadway in 2022, imagines a scenario where Juliet gets a second chance at life and love, set to an energetic score of hit songs from five-time Grammy-winning songwriter Max Martin.

Ryan’s birthday celebration was further elevated by a sweet shoutout from his Deadpool and Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman. Hugh took to Instagram to commemorate the day, posting photos of Ryan and writing, “On this day, we celebrate Tammy for delivering Ryan,” alongside cake and balloon emojis, honoring Ryan’s mother, Tammy Reynolds.

This Broadway birthday celebration was not just about the show; it was a delightful gathering filled with love and laughter, showcasing the tight-knit family and their shared love for the arts.
