Blake Lively has revealed the “beautiful, romantic things” her husband Ryan Reynolds did for her on a weekly basis early in their relationship.
They began dating in 2011, a year after filming the superhero film Green Lantern, with him in the lead role and her as his love interest.
Ryan, 47, and Blake, 36, exchanged vows in 2012 and are now the proud parents of four children, the youngest of whom was born in February this year.
Now, however, Blake has recalled the beginning of her love story with Ryan and how he won her heart.
The Gossip Girl star gushed about the thoughtful gift Ryan used to send her every week, in a new interview with People.

“When my husband and I first started dating, he would send me a bouquet of flowers every week, but he would always send me a card that was just a quote about something that had happened that week,” she shared.
“Something funny or touching that one of us said. It was just a little quote of the week. It was so beautiful and romantic. We have 4,000 kids now!”
Blake made the revelation while promoting her new film It Ends With Us, in which she plays a florist aptly named Lily Bloom.
Based on a romance novel by Colleen Hoover, It Ends With Us follows Lily’s tempestuous marriage, which goes from passionate to abusive.
Ryan and Blake have been married since 2012 and now share four children: daughters James, nine, Inez, seven, and Betty, four, and son Olin, one.
Blake’s latest interview comes days after she launched her new Blake Brown haircare line, prompting Ryan to share how “proud” he is of her.
Ryan, who is enjoying the smashing success of his new film Deadpool & Wolverine, joked: “Plus, I just found out his last name is Brown.”
The film unites two heavyweights of the superhero genre: Ryan, who plays Deadpool, and Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine.
They began dating in 2011, a year after filming the superhero film Green Lantern, with him in the lead role and her as his love interest.

Ryan and Blake are pictured here in 2015 at their Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony with the two eldest of their four children: daughters James, nine, and Inez, seven.
Ryan and Blake are pictured last month at the New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, which just scored the biggest opening ever for an R-rated film.
Blake appeared in Deadpool & Wolverine as the voice of a character named Ladypool, while her seven-year-old daughter with Ryan, Inez, had a cameo as Kidpool.
The couple welcomed their new baby in February 2023, but waited until recently to announce they had chosen the name Olin.
Blake and Ryan were mocked on social media for their “strange” choice – a Nordic name referring to the heir of an ancestor.
Then, on the day Deadpool & Wolverine hit theaters, Ryan starred in a promotional video for the film and revealed that his baby is a boy.
He dropped the bombshell during a heartbreaking conversation with a man named Josh Bell, whose late son Jake was a Deadpool fan.
“I want to share with you that I have a son too, and if I love him a tenth of what you love Jake, I feel like I’ve done a pretty good job,” Ryan said.
