Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds embraced a picture-perfect moment of couplehood during a leisurely stroll in New York on December 2, 2021. The 34-year-old actress and her 45-year-old husband, deeply engrossed in conversation, radiated casual elegance as they walked arm in arm through the city streets.

Blake opted for a chic ensemble, featuring a black turtleneck paired with light-wash jeans, complemented by a stylish Gucci belt and trendy combat boots. Meanwhile, Ryan sported a light jacket layered over a button-up shirt, paired with darker jeans, and rounded off his look with casual sneakers.

The celebrity couple, parents to three daughters—James, 6, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2—chose to spend some quality solo time during the outing, leaving their children at home. Blake and Ryan are known for safeguarding their kids’ privacy and have been vocal about shielding them from intrusive paparazzi. Blake, in particular, has expressed her commitment to providing her children with a normal upbringing.

In a June 2016 interview with Marie Claire, Blake emphasized her aversion to dealing with paparazzi intrusion, especially when it comes to her children. She highlighted the importance of allowing her kids the freedom to make decisions about their own lives when they are ready, rather than being subjected to unwanted attention from an early age.

Ryan and Blake strive to offer their children a normal life, reminiscent of their own upbringing. Ryan, having experienced a conventional childhood, values providing the same for his daughters. In November 2020, he expressed his admiration for his wife and daughters, considering them the most capable individuals he knows. As a proud “girl dad,” Ryan relishes the unique experience of raising three daughters, bringing joy and love to every moment of their family journey.
