Blake and Ryan's romance

An A-list marriage that is truly founded on friendship

Por hola.com

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are one of Hollywood's favourite couples, not only known for their talent and individual popularity, but also for their shared sense of humour. Together now for more than a decade, they're parents to three daughters, with a fourth one on the way. Professionally as well as privately, they're hugely supportive (1) of each other, undertaking a variety of projects together.

But it wasn't a case of love at first sight. When the pair first met in early 2010 on the set of Green Lantern both were in relationships with other people. Blake had been dating her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley for three years, while Ryan was married to actress Scarlett Johansson. 

It was friendship that first blossomed (2) between the two. So much so that, when they both found themselves single (3), they tried setting each other up (4) with other people.

Deadpool star Ryan has talked about how, in 2011, they finally realised they were meant to be together after going on an "awkward (5)" double date.

After the couple's slow start, they were quick to wed, making their vows in September 2012 in South Carolina, followed by a second ceremony in their own home.

Blake and Ryan are raising their family in upstate New York, in a house they bought six months after they started dating. It has seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and even a barn in the extensive grounds.
