Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are often hailed as Hollywood’s ideal couple, admired for their enduring love and mutual respect. The duo first met in 2010 on the set of Green Lantern and secretly tied the knot two years later in an intimate ceremony in South Carolina.
More than a decade later, their relationship remains as strong as ever, inspiring fans worldwide. Recently, Blake shared one of the secrets behind their thriving marriage during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The It Ends with Us star revealed that she and Ryan established a unique rule before getting married, a pledge they have committed to for life. “When Ryan and I got together, we made a rule not to work at the same time,” Blake explained, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing their personal life over professional pursuits.
She added, “That takes working really hard when we’re not [working]. Just like financial planning and sustaining that, it takes balance.” The 37-year-old actress credits this approach to helping them maintain their bond despite their busy Hollywood careers.
Ryan Reynolds, too, opened up about their relationship in a recent interview with Access Hollywood, sharing how the couple navigates their demanding schedules. “We don’t split up. Like, I shoot movies, and my wife shoots movies, and we travel all over the place. We just all go together,” said the Deadpool vs Wolverine star.
Reynolds emphasized that staying close as a family, no matter where their work takes them, is a cornerstone of their relationship. “We don’t really stay apart for long periods, and that’s one of the best parts of our marriage,” he noted.
The couple is also devoted to their roles as parents. They share four children: daughters James (9), Inez (7), Betty (4), and son Olin (1). Ryan and Blake’s commitment to family life ensures that their kids grow up in a nurturing and supportive environment, no matter the challenges of fame.
Their dedication to balancing love, work, and family continues to set an example for others, solidifying their status as one of Hollywood’s most admired power couples.
