#1. Reynolds’s divorce had left a strong impact on him.
Scarlett and Ryan divorced in December 2010 after two years of marriage. Despite describing his marriage as “going through a lot of pаin,” he remained optimistic about the future. However, at some point, the actor appeared to have been affected by the split, stating, “I don’t think I want to get married again.” He also noted that the idea of dating felt “so kind of alien” to him and declared, “I’m very happy not to be in a relationship right now.”
#2. He met Blake, and the rest is history.
In 2010, Reynolds collaborated with Blake Lively on the set of “Green Lantern,” where they played a couple. At the time, Blake was dating her “Gossip Girl” co-star, Penn Badgley, and she and Ryan became good friends since then. When it comes to their relationship, Reynolds claimed, “We were buddies for a long time, which I think is the best way to have a relationship, to start as friends.”
However, the pair’s relationship turned into a romantic one a year after their initial meeting. By that time, the actress had broken up with Penn Badgley. Indeed, Reynolds didn’t expect what really happened to him and Lively, but he couldn’t resist falling in love with Blake, and their relationship soon became serious.
The first sparks between Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were ignited during a double date, despite the fact that they were both joined by other individuals at the time. Reynolds called it the “most awkward date for the respective parties” because of their obvious chemistry and interest.
Following that encounter, the couple began dating and married in September 2012. They have four children and are widely recognized as one of Hollywood’s most admired and followed couples.
#3. They are each other’s support through tough times.
And Ryan can’t stop gushing about his soulmate, Blake, whenever he gets the chance. He previously credited her with teaching him to be more empathetic.
“She responds to anger with empathy,” he observed. “She responds to hatred with empathy.” Ryan also credited Lively with helping him reconcile with his father, James Reynolds, before his deаth in 2015, saying, “She made me remember the good times.” We can’t get enough of this inspiring couple who makes us believe in true love, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.
