Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are #RelationshipGoals and This is Why

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GWU chapter.

If I were Serena, I would divorce Dan Humphrey in a hot second. I mean, come on Upper East Siders; we all know Lonely Boy is beyond overrated. Please, they are so not meant for each other. Truthfully, Iā€™m still holding out for a reunion episode where Serenate (Serena + Nate) is a thing.Ā 

My false hope aside, I can still sleep like a baby at night knowing that Serena IRL, AKA Blake Lively, is living the ultimate fantasy. Letā€™s be honest, we would all pick Ryan Reynolds over Mr. Humphrey any day of the week. So, for all of you hopeless romantics still waiting for prince charming to appear, letā€™s take a look at Blake Lively and Ryan Reynoldā€™s fairytale romance from a far distanceā€”and engage in a not-so healthy amount of self pity.

Just this week Blake reminded us of how perfect her family is when she told Michael Kors in a game of Fact or Fiction on his Youtube channel that her hubby played Marvin Gayeā€™s ā€œLetā€™s Get it Onā€ while she was giving birth to daughter Ines.Ā  Reynolds is not only a gorgeous human specimen, but heā€™s also funnyā€”can you say total package?

The picture perfect family recently let the world catch a glimpse of their family of four when Deadpool star, Ryan Reynolds, accepted his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Lively, Reynolds, James, 2, and Ines, 6 months were snapped looking as adorable as ever.

While the couple tends to keep to themselves, Reynolds occasionally gives a sneak peak into his private life. On the Show with David Letterman, he said, ā€œ ā€˜I would take a bullet for you. I could never love anything as much as I love you.’ I would say that to my wife. And the second I looked in that baby’s eyes, I knew in that exact moment that if we were ever under attack, I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that baby.”

Funny, hot and a lover of children? Attention Ryan: forget Blake, marry me! (But, I mean I guess your wife is kind of, sort of perfect.)
