The [couple](http://time.com/5318550/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-anna-kendrick/), who have been married since 2012 and have two children, have jokingly poked fun at each other in interviews and online for most of their time together. And the _Deadpool 2_ panel at San Diego’s Comic-Con 2018 was no exception. Reynolds used the opportunity to share that he’s been using his time wisely. “My wife’s been shooting a film overseas so I’ve been having a ton of time to pretend like I’m watching the kids,’ he said jokingly during a panel over the weekend. “She’s probably filing \[divorce\] papers as we speak.” The _Deadpool_ star said he’s been doing the movie marathon thing. “Do you ever do those where you watch like every Quentin Tarantino movie? So I’ve been kind of doing that,” he said. Lively is currently working on the spy thriller _The Rhythm Section_, which films in Ireland and Spain. The actor will star as the titular heroine, in the film based on the inaugural novel in Mark Burnell’s four-volume _Stephanie Patrick_ series. It’s set for a February 2019 release. Until then, fans have these jokes between spouses to tide them over. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5345788/ryan-reynolds-comic-con/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5345788/ryan-reynolds-comic-con/"},"headline":"Ryan Reynolds Jokes That Blake Lively Is Calling it Splits for a Relatable Reason","datePublished":"2018-07-23T12:28:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:58.618Z","description":"Ryan Reynolds jokes that Blake Lively is filing papers at 2018 Comic Con in San Diego for a highly relatable reason.","url":"https://time.com/5345788/ryan-reynolds-comic-con/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb276086d908b4362/698935f3e76ad29ef16328f5/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb276086d908b4362/698935f3e76ad29ef16328f5/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Ryan Reynolds Blake Lively","caption":"Ryan Reynolds Blake Lively","creditText":"Sean Zanni—Patrick McMullan via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5345788/ryan-reynolds-comic-con/","name":"Ryan Reynolds Jokes That Blake Lively Is Calling it Splits for a Relatable Reason"}}]}] ```
