Blake and Ryan started to date in 2011, and they met in 2010 on the set of Green Lantern — a superhero film that was a financial disaster for DC. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 26%.
Right at the start, Lively and Reynolds made an interesting rule (in order to keep their relationship strong) — “to work at the same time.” Also, the two prioritize their personal life over their professional and live together wherever one of them works.
“If we are in Spain or Utah or New York, as long as we are together, we’re home,” the Deadpool actor revealed in an interview in 2019 for People.

“If I’m working on a movie, he helps me with my character,” Blake further explained. “I do the same with him.”
Before their marriage, Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson. Ryan and Scarlett divorced in 2011.
Children
Blake and Ryan have four children: James, Inez, Betty, and a fourth child whose birth name was not released to the public.
“It’s the best thing that could ever happen to someone,” Reynolds said about their children. “I’m a parent of three girls,” Reynolds said in another interview. He went on to say: “They’re wild. I think they have rabies sometimes.”
Height
Black Lively is 1.78 m tall.
