Blake - who turned 30 on Friday - recently discussed Ryan's comical social media stories, which often revolve around their two daughters, two-year-old James, and 11-month-old Ines.

The Age of Adaline star revealed that Ryan's anecdotes are usually made up.

'He may as well work for the Enquirer,' the Gossip Girl star told Glamour.

'When he says 'my daughter,' he's never, ever talking about her. Everything is a completely made-up scenario.'

Meanwhile, Blake spent her birthday on the set of her new movie A Simple Favor in Toronto on Friday. 

The mother-of-two was spotted in a pinstripe suit, heels and fedora.
