(Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images For Entertainment Weekly) Dia Dipasupil—Getty Images For Entertainment Weekly  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jul 31, 2017 9:38 PM UTC Golden couple[ Blake Lively](http://time.com/4763519/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-hony/) and [Ryan Reynolds](http://time.com/4852824/ryan-reynolds-on-wonder-woman/) have, arguably, one of the most enviable relationships in Hollywood: two A-list actors at the top of their game with two children, a glowing red carpet presence, and passionate fans of their power duo status. So it might come as a surprise when Lively noted recently in an interview with [_Glamour_](https://www.glamour.com/story/blake-lively-september-2017-cover-interview) that she loves her husband “most” — and not “all” — of the time. But she had a fair explanation for her choice of words. “I said, ‘Most of the time,’ because if I say, ‘I’m so in love with him all the time,’ then you get that eye-rolling, ‘Oh, her life is so great, she’s so perfect.’ So, it’s, like, my defense mechanism,” she hedged. “There’s never a time when I’m like, ‘I don’t really love you.’ Still, in a sound bite? It can be eye-roll-y. I have to learn to stop being defensive.” The [_Shallows_ actor](http://time.com/4480052/best-summer-movies-2016/item/the-shallows/) also shared that most of Reynolds’s [hilariously viral tweets](http://time.com/4846816/ryan-reynolds-revenge-boyfriend-tweet/) about his family life are actually fictionalized accounts. “He’ll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh,” she said of the [_Deadpool_ ](http://time.com/4853722/comic-con-2017-movies-television/item//)star’s social media presence. “But oh, I’m so in love with him when he writes that stuff.” Lively further explained that the two work past conflict thanks to a solid foundational friendship. “He treats me like his best buddy,” she said of their dynamic. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4881113/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-love/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4881113/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-love/"},"headline":"Blake Lively Explains Why She Loves Her Ryan Reynolds 'Most of the Time'","datePublished":"2017-07-31T21:38:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:01.998Z","description":"Lively pushes back against the \"eye-roll-y\" depiction of her marriage in a new interview with Glamour.","url":"https://time.com/4881113/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-love/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Blake Lively","Ryan Reynolds"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f4053a7d1d4cff4/6988d7db7cdbac6bbbd596c2/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f4053a7d1d4cff4/6988d7db7cdbac6bbbd596c2/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between\" Costume Institute Gala - Arrivals","caption":"\"Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between\" Costume Institute Gala - Arrivals","creditText":"Dia Dipasupil—Getty Images For Entertainment Weekly","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4881113/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-love/","name":"Blake Lively Explains Why She Loves Her Ryan Reynolds 'Most of the Time'"}}]}] ```
