"The Great British Bake Off" judge Paul Hollywood set the internet on fire Friday with two Instagram posts featuring both halves of America's favorite couple — Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. So, are they joining season 14 of the baking contest that has captivated the world one petit four at a time? Here's what we know.
On Friday, Hollywood posted an image featuring Reynolds posing with him and his fellow judge Prue Leith outside of the famous "GBBO" tent.
His caption simply read, "Prue and I catching up with @vancityreynolds … #legend."
Reynolds posted the same picture on his account, telling the world that he experienced "a full and unconditional hug of pure serotonin" while standing between Leith and Hollywood.
Hollywood shared a photo featuring Lively about an hour after posting the picture with her husband.
"Sorry Prue, Blake (@blakelively) has taken your seat… welcome to cake corner Blake 😁#legendinthetent #getbaking @vancityreynolds," the caption read.
Representatives for Reynolds and Lively didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment about whether they will appear on season 14 of the show or clarify the reason for their visit to set.
Hollywood's second post appears to suggest that Reynolds would be appearing as a contestant and that his wife would be judging his sweet treats.
Deadline pointed out that this is a distinct possibility, as there is a celebrity spinoff version of the show called "The Great Celebrity Bake Off." In the past, it's featured actors like"Friends" star David Schwimmer competing to benefit Stand Up To Cancer.
Reynolds could also be appearing as a guest host on the original version of the show, which films in the summer and is expected to air in early 2024, according to Deadline. Former host Matt Lucas left the show in December 2022, so there's potentially an open slot.
The "Deadpool" actor has been spending more time in the UK since he bought part of the Welsh football team Wrexham AFC in November 2020, an experience he chronicled on FX's docuseries Welcome to Wrexham.
