When the Gossip Girl star was cast as Reynolds’ partner in Green Lantern in 2010, the two were in a relationship. Ryan had been married for 2 years to Scarlett Johansson while Lively was dating her co-star, Penn Badgley. At that moment they met and became friends, but nothing else happened. In September 2010, Blake broke up with her boyfriend and in December, Ryan filed for divorce from Scarlett.
Throughout 2011 there were rumors about a possible courtship, but the couple did not want to confirm anything, until they finally married in secret. Since then, both have spoken of their desire to imitate their large families (Reynolds was the last of 4 boys and Lively is the youngest of 5 siblings). He himself has declared that he could have 9 daughters with his wife without any problem, but at the moment they only have 3.
The couple, who married in 2012, currently have 3 daughters: James, Inés and the baby, whose name remains a secret.
The couple have confessed in interviews that their marriage works because they don’t see each other for more than a week. “My husband and I don’t work at the same time, so we always go together as a family,” Blake confessed. “If we are away from family, it is never a long time. We are always together.”
