The young actress Blake Lively became famous thanks to the teenage series "Gossip Girl", and is currently on her way to conquering Hollywood. However, this charming blonde can hardly be called a careerist, since she clearly does not intend to overshadow her personal life. Since 2012, Blake has been happily married to actor Ryan Reynolds. They have two wonderful daughters growing up, and in 2019 the couple are expecting the birth of their third child.
More than friendship
The future spouses met at the beginning of 2010 on the set of the film Green Lantern, based on the comic strip of the same name. They easily found a common language and became friends, forming a well-coordinated acting tandem. True, their relationship did not receive any romantic development then, since both were not free. Blake has dated Gossip Girl partner Penn Badgley, and Ryan has been married to actress Scarlett Johansson since September 2008.
By the end of the year, a crisis was simultaneously outlined in the love affairs of Lively and Reynolds. First, the young actress broke up with her longtime boyfriend, and a couple of months later, her Green Lantern partner also announced a divorce from his wife. Ryan was very upset by the collapse of his marriage; in interviews from that period, he doubted that he would ever marry again. As it turned out, the actor got seriously excited with such statements.
Having found freedom, Blake is rumored to have briefly dated Leonardo DiCaprio. Since they were still friendly with Ryan, they decided to help each other arrange a personal life and went on a double date. This experience was later described by the actors as awkward and embarrassing. An unsuccessful experiment eventually marked their romantic rapprochement.
In the fall of 2011, the paparazzi first caught Lively leaving Reynolds' apartment in New York. Already in December, the actor took his new beloved to his homeland in Canada to introduce him to his family.
Unexpected wedding
It took the couple about a year to test their feelings. The wedding of the two actors took place on September 9, 2012 at Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina. By the way, these picturesque places can be seen in the scenes of the film "Diary of Memory". Only close friends and relatives attended the ceremony. Unfortunately, the couple did not want to share photos of their celebration with the public. Although some details were told in the company to which the bride and groom entrusted the organization of the wedding.
Blake wore a "cloudy silk" Marchesa gown with rose gold embroidery and crystal beads on the shoulders. The bridal rings were created by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. The bride's bouquet consisted of pink jasmine flowers, ashy cross, white leaves and hydrangeas. The centerpiece of the wedding was the dessert table, since the newlyweds consider themselves to have a sweet tooth. Together with family and friends, they enjoyed a vanilla-sour cream wedding cake with apricot jam and butter cream. Among the eminent guests at the celebration were Blake's colleagues from the comedy "Mascot Jeans" - Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn.
Despite the ideal holiday, the couple did not succeed in completing it with a honeymoon due to the filming of Lively in the last season of "Gossip Girl". Only in December did they manage to spend a romantic weekend in Paris together.
After the wedding, the couple became inseparable at social events. The actors looked happy and in love. Blake said in an interview that she and her husband try to do everything together and are not separated for more than a week. In October 2014, Lively declassified her pregnancy by sharing a photo showing distinct changes in her figure.
Big family
The couple announced the birth of their first child in January 2015, and they hid this joyful event for several weeks in order to enjoy their new experience without unnecessary hype. The parents gave their newborn daughter the male name James - in honor of Ryan's late father.
Just a year later, the couple decided to repeat this amazing experience. In April 2016, the paparazzi photographed the actress on the set of the movie "The Shoal", where she had a well-visible rounded belly. At the end of September, Blake gave her husband a second daughter, who was named Ines.
Children of Lively and Reynolds made their red carpet debut in December 2016 when their parents took them with them to the unveiling of Ryan's signature star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. At the event, the actor made a heartfelt speech in which he thanked his wife for the wonderful children and confessed his love to her.
Spouses are responsible for parenting, so they build their work schedules so that they do not overlap. And while one of them is filming, the other is nearby and looks after the children. This distribution of responsibilities helps them maintain a sense of a close-knit and close-knit family.
Fans adore the pair Blake and Ryan for their excellent sense of humor. On their Instagram profiles, they constantly leave each other funny messages and congratulations on the holidays, spicing them up with no less funny photos. Obviously, with such an approach to family life, spouses will not have to be bored for a long time in marriage.
In early May 2019, the actors delighted their fans by announcing an imminent addition to the family. They again presented the news without further ado, since Blake only had to appear in a tight dress at the premiere of the fictional film Pokemon. Detective Pikachu. Judging by the figure of the future mother, the third child of the couple should be born very soon.
