Ryan Reynolds joked "it stings" to have been unfollowed on Instagram by wife Blake Lively.

The 30-year-old actress caused a stir on Monday when she removed all the posts from her page and decided to only follow 36 accounts, each belonging to different people named Emily Nelson, and her spouse claimed the snub was only the first move she's made to remove him from her life.

Asked on Nova radio show 'Smallzy's Surgery' how he felt about the social media snub, Ryan quipped: "Yeah, she did. Very sad about that.”

"It stings. It's a terrible way to find out that I've been kicked out of the house, to be honest.

"Absolutely terrible."

And the 'Deadpool' star claimed the couple's daughters, James, three, and 19-month-old Ines, wouldn't care about the Instagram rift.
