Blake Lively Reveals Why She Married Ryan Reynolds & We Are Swooning

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are undeniably one of Hollywood’s hottest “it” couples, and just when we thought we couldn’t love them any more than we already do, Lively let us in on a marriage secret that has us seriously taking notes. In an interview for the latest issue of Marie Claire, Lively reveals how she knew Reynolds was the one. 


“I knew he would always be my best friend for my whole life. That was the biggest thing for me.” How sweet is that?

Lively also divulges that marrying your BFF is the key to success: “I’d never known anything like the friendship that I had with him. I could like him as much as I loved him.”

So basically, throw away everything you know about falling in love with someone because liking them is just as important. Although we can’t imagine that liking and loving Ryan Reynolds is too difficult.
