Blake Lively reveals the ‘beautiful, romantic thing’ Ryan Reynolds did every week when they started dating 13 years ago
Blake Lively has revealed what her husband Ryan Reynolds did for her on a weekly basis in the early days of their relationship.
They began dating in 2011, a year after filming the superhero film Green Lantern, with him in the title role and she as his love interest.
Ryan, 47, and Blake, 36, tied the knot in 2012 and are now the proud parents of four children, the youngest of whom was born in February.
Now, Blake is thinking back to the beginning of her love story with Ryan and the way he captured her heart.
The Gossip Girl star was in a new interview with People.

“When my husband and I first started dating, he would send me flowers every week. He would always send a card with a little message about something that had happened that week,” she said.
“Something funny or emotional that one of us said. It was just a little quote of the week. It was such a beautiful, romantic thing. Now we have 4,000 kids!”
Blake made the revelation while promoting her new film It Ends With Us, in which she plays a florist aptly named Lily Bloom.
Based on a romance novel by Colleen Hoover, It Ends With Us tells the story of Lily’s stormy marriage, which turns from passionate to violent.
Ryan and Blake have been married since 2012 and have four children together: daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four, and son Olin, one.
Blake’s latest interview came just days after she launched her new hair care line, Blake Brown, and Ryan told her how “proud” he is of her.
Ryan, who is enjoying the huge success of his new film Deadpool & Wolverine, joked: “I just found out her last name is Brown.”
The film reunites two heavyweights of the superhero genre: Ryan, who plays Deadpool, and Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine.

Blake appeared in Deadpool and Wolverine as the voice of a character named Ladypool, while she and Ryan’s seven-year-old daughter Inez had a cameo as Kidpool.
The couple welcomed their new baby in February 2023, but waited until recently to announce they had chosen the name Olin.
Blake and Ryan were ridiculed on social media for their “odd” choice: a Scandinavian name that refers to the heir of an ancestor.
On the day Deadpool & Wolverine hit theaters, Ryan starred in a promotional video for the film and announced that his baby is a boy.
He dropped the bombshell during a heartbreaking conversation with a man named Josh Bell, whose late son Jake was a Deadpool fan.
“I just want you guys to know that I have a son too, and if I love him one-tenth as much as you love Jake, then I’ve done a damn good job,” Ryan said.
