Celebrity Update: Hot Couple Alert – Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

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

And the hottest couple award goes too…. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds!

This smokin’ couple began their love affair October 2011, although some say it began when Reynolds was still married to ex-wife Scarlett Johansson.
 

The couple has been spotted several times taking romantic strolls and picnics in the park of New York City and seem to be really happy together. Sources say they are looking for apartments together on the Upper East Side.
 
According to Star, they’ve already got their family’s approval to start ring shopping after only six months of dating and Blake wants something vintage (not surprising)!
 
This is what their friends and family have to say about it according to Star:
 
“Ryan and Blake are talking about rings. Blake really wants to find a vintage ring and have it reset. Blake’s family adores Ryan.”
 
Blake’s sister Lori even refers to him in conversation as her ‘future brother-in-law.’ She is telling everyone Ryan is family. She says that’s it — Blake’s found “The One”.
 
She feels like the luckiest girl in the world. Her career is going great, she’s landed Mr. Right—and her family approves.
 
To most people, it isn’t shocking to see two celebrities getting married so quickly after they begin dating, I mean lets face it, who doesn’t do that in Hollywood nowadays? However, it is surprising to see Reynolds moving on so quickly after his heart breaking divorce with Scarlett Johansson.
 
For Lively however, her relationship with Reynolds is a burst of sunshine after she had to file a restraining order against alleged stalker, Sergei Mifle.

 
The man accused of stalking Lively claimed to have a “metaphysical” connection to the Gossip Girl star.  
 
A judge on March 2 extended the temporary restraining order granted to the starlet in February, ordering the overzealous fan to stay away from her and her mother for the next three years. Mifle continuously tries contacting both women and shows up on set saying he needs to “guide” Lively spiritually.
 
Lucky for Lively, she has her man now to protect her. Good luck to the happy couple!
