Why Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Are Our Favorite Ongoing Love Story

Their parents may not be showing off their baby pictures, but it’s not as if the kids haven’t been fodder for plenty of dad jokes, his inclination to troll not reserved for Lively alone.

“Our pediatrician, when she met Inez, she said, ‘Oh, this one’s shady,'” Reynolds, who has become renowned for his parenting anecdotes and do-not-as-I-say advice, also said on Live With Kelly and Ryan. “Even the other day, when we were traveling back home, we were at the airport and out of our whole family she’s the only one that got the secondary security pat down at 2 years old. She just takes it like a hard-earned felon.”

As perhaps evidenced by their witty approach to couplehood online, Lively told Glamour that Reynolds is simply her best friend.

“In other relationships, if something came up I would call my girlfriends or my sister, and say, ‘Hey, this is what he did—what should I do?’ Whereas with him, we were friends for two years before we were ever dating. And I treat him like my girlfriend. ‘I’m like, ‘Hey, this happened. It upset me. This is how I feel. What do I do?’ He does the same for me. He treats me like his best buddy.”
