Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds form one of the most media-oriented and stable couples in international social news. Parents of three children in common and with a fourth on the way, the two Hollywood stars are fan favorites for the good vibes they exchange in public, especially on Instagram, where they play a lot with their mutual hesitations.
It’s not very common for both to deliver serious and emotional words in public, but Ryan Reynolds received the 36th American Cinematheque Award at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Above all, the occasion deserved to put aside the humor of Instagram and “get serious”, and that’s what Blake Lively did when she took the stage to refer to her husband and pay homage to him with her own words.

If he comes home from set and it’s not in his wardrobe, we’d be very worried. Drenched in mud, fake blood, real blood, prosthetic scars, superhero costumes, tap shoes or clown makeup, Dad always comes home.”
Blake Lively made Ryan Reynolds emotional with his words in an important evening for him, and it is not the only recognition he will receive at the end of 2022. On December 6 he will also collect the People’s Icon Award.
