And that's not the only way Ryan, 47, and Blake, 36, have supported each other as of late. In fact, Blake appeared as Lady Deadpool in Ryan's Deadpool & Wolverine flick, while Ryan recently jumped in alongside his mother Tammy Reynolds and BFF Hugh Jackman for an interview with his wife's It Ends With Us costar Brandon Sklenar.

"It's not everyday the husband gets to interview his wife's love interest in a film," Ryan joked to Brandon during the interview posted Aug. 6. "It's kinda crazy."

But while the couple have made their movies a family affair—Inez and Olin appeared as Kidpool and Babypool in Deadpool & Wolverine—they're a bit more careful about which of their films their kids watch.

"Honestly, Savages, not a movie for my children to see," Blake recently joked to E! News"The Town—not on the top list, I'd have to say. You know it's a rough one, my filmography." 

Luckily, Ryan has starred in a few more kid-appropriate films, like If and Detective Pikachu.

"My husband's filmography is much more user-friendly," she quipped. "Yeah, mommy's movies are not."
