Let's face it, nowadays, a marriage of more than 10 years is considered rare, especially among celebrities. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are the example of this, but it often makes people curious to know more about the secret of longevity in their marriage.
During an interview for "People" with Hugh Jackman, the actor compared his marriage to real friendships.
"I think the secret sauce to a long-term friendship in Hollywood isn't much different than having a partner or marriage," Reynolds said. "It's the same way I feel about Blake. While I'm supporting her for a new film or project, I know she's also supporting me and that's why we're so connected."
But during the interview, Jackman asked Reynolds about his battle with anxiety, which the actor has spoken about many times, and how parenting affects mental health. Reynolds and his wife Lively have four children: James, Ines, Betty and the last child whose name has not been revealed yet.
Reynolds responded by saying that parenting has helped mental health because "focusing less on myself and more on the kids is a lifesaver."
"I like that I have anxiety and I like that I've had anxiety. Because when I see my kids experiencing some of that, which is probably genetic, I know how to deal with it in a way that's actually more compassionate," she explained. he.
Another reason why the couple's relationship is so long-lasting and successful is thanks to the number one rule of their marriage: They do not engage in films and projects at the same time.
"When Ryan and I got engaged, we made a rule that we wouldn't work at the same time so we could always prioritize our personal lives," Lively said on Substack Further Ado a few months ago. "This requires balance and absolute commitment on both sides."
