Blake Lively is looking back at the start of her romance with husband Ryan Reynolds more than a decade and four kids later, sharing the thoughtful gift her future husband gave her every week. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ love story has always been in full bloom. Though the pair—who are parents to daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, and son Olin, born in 2023—have been together for 13 years, the Gossip Girl alum will always remember the romantic gesture her now-husband made during the early days of their romance.
