Whirlwind Romance
In an interview with GQ, Reynolds was open about when he realized Lively was the one for him. He said they had their conversation at a restaurant in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York. He invited Lively to dance while no one else was there, and he later reflected on the experience, saying, “It was just one of those situations when halfway through the dance, it was like, ‘Oh, I guess I just crossed a boundary.'”
It’s a good thing that this barrier was breached since it seemed to be the beginning of the beautiful marriage the couple would have. In October of 2011, after spending time with Reynolds in Boston to celebrate his 35th birthday, Lively was photographed leaving his apartment. She had been there for the celebration.
The Proposal
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ dating was a well-held secret for quite some time. In October of 2011, they were first spotted publicly together as a couple for the first time. On the other hand, it was said that the pair tied the knot a year later, in September of 2012.
In later years, the rumors of a wedding turned out to be true. A seven-carat diamond ring with an approximate value of $2.5 million was seen being worn by Lively during a recent public appearance. The center stone is an oval diamond with a very light pink color, and it is set in rose gold with pavé diamonds. Reynolds sought the advice of jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, a personal friend of Lively’s, to get direction regarding the design.
