Blake Lively Reveals The Night Ryan Reynolds Fell For Her | PEOPLE

[MamaMaybell]

Ahh yes, I love how she told us about the night Ryan fell in love with her.

[Happybidr]

That’s the best relationship, to be friends first before falling in love. We were friends for 5 years before dating. It’s been 34 years now and still going strong.

[Alexfolledemoi]

it's such a fanfic trope. they're suoer friends and don't realise how perfect they are for one another...until they do

[mr.j]

This rings true to the old saying of “if you’re going to marry anyone, marry your best friend” — said some wise guy

[tadschroeder]

The great thing about them is how normal they seem to be. Both are down to earth, humble and beautiful people.

[samsvlogs]

“thats the secret to happiness, well i dont the the secret to happiness but thats my secret to happiness” 🤣

[katerinachlmi]

The best way to become a great couple is to be good friends first. That's what I did. 10 years of being friends, 10 years of being married after that. Still going strong!

[mysterwolverine]

He got out of 1.5 year long friendzone. Respect.

[rsavage]

I love these two. I hope their relationship is as good as it looks.

[cheeehus]

wow..thats so sweet..such a perfect collision between them

[jos]

Been married 43 years to someone I was with 5 years. You must LIKE and RESPECT the person you marry for it to last. Love can be lust in a party dress. If you don't have a foundation beyond chemistry, get a prenup.

[DS-exdc]

She is sooo beautiful and funny and warm-heartet. And a natural person.

[numella]

I think friendship is the best condition to happiness in love. Through friendship you already get to know the most flaws of him/her and you still like and accept him/her without sexual desires. If you start a usual relationship without previous friendship it ends up in sex quickly.. and unconsciously, you adapt characteristics of each other so your relationship works out fine.
But I guess friendship to love just happens cuz at least one of you was already in a relationship so you just couldn't hook up earlier before developing that friendship

[edwardfletcher]

Love how real they both are, that's why their relationship is so great 👍

[immortalsid]

Yknow your life is complete when you find someone like Blake and make her happy and smile like Ryan does.

[antonymanuel]

Well she's absolutely right... Secret to her marriage is trust and honesty and how you will always say to your best friend... No matter what I'll be there for you

[DxmimundobizarroxD]

I just realized this couple existed (because I don't follow celebrities' life) but they look like an awesome couple! I wish them a lifetime together!

[stevencurtis]

THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE GREAT AND WILL LAST TOGETHER FOREVER!! GREAT ACTORS AND HUMANS

[katieowen]

It’s true…my husband is my best friend. We were friends first and one day I was like “crap, I think I like him” 😂 We actually say I like you instead of I love you a lot because love isn’t enough. You really need to like the person you’re with too!

[iwasneverok]

Friend first! One of the most underated statements in relationships
