Many of Ryan Reynolds’s fans were shocked when he revealed in 2011 that he had struggled to find footing after his split from Scarlett Johansson. The actor said he was still in agony but could feel hope rising as he worked through it. Many speculated in the remarks that Reynolds would never find true love or marry again.
Fortunately, he met the beautiful and talented actor Blake Lively a few months later, and they soon fell in love. The couple rose to fame fast and became one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, which they have maintained.
How Ryan Reynolds Healed His Broken Heart
Before getting into Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s love story, let’s walk down the Reynolds-Johansson marriage memory lane. The pair tied the knot in 2008, but by December 2010, they had declared their split, and by July 2011, they had officially divorced.
The couple’s breakup shocked fans because they had seen them together as a joyful unit. It turned out, however, that the couple had been having problems for a while and had merely grown apart.

While discussing his split from Johansson with Details magazine in 2011, the Deadpool 3 actor was candid about his feelings, saying that anyone going through a divorce experiences great suffering. Although he still felt some discomfort, he began feeling hopeful as he worked through it. He added that he was unsure about getting married again but was open to reconsidering.
“Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it. I’m not out of it yet. At all. But I sense that there’s optimism as I come through it. How can there not be? I don’t want to get married again, but you always re-evaluate these things.”
Reynolds and Lively met on the set of the superhero film Green Lantern, where they played each other’s love interest. Reynolds was still hurting from his split from Johansson and wasn’t in the market for a long-term relationship. However, the then-on-screen couple clicked immediately and started dating.

Despite his apprehensions, Reynolds fell in love with Lively. After only a few months of dating, the pair decided to live together. In a sign that things were progressing rapidly, Reynolds attended Lively’s sister’s wedding just a few weeks after they began dating.
Reynolds and Lively had a quickie affair and secretly tied the knot in South Carolina in September 2012. The ceremony was private, with only close friends and family in attendance, and the newlyweds have kept mum about the event ever since. However, they have occasionally given fans a glimpse into their big day through social media, including posting candid pictures.
Reynolds has said that Lively is the person who helped him get through his divorce from Johansson and other difficult moments in his life. In an interview with GQ published in 2016, he praised Lively for her empathetic responses and said she had broadened his viewpoint.
Reynolds and Lively are now the proud parents of four children and have been married for a long time. They are still widely regarded as one of the most endearing couples in Hollywood, cherished for their endearing antics and mutual adoration. Reynolds and Lively are active on social media, frequently poking humor at the latter.
