    Blake and Ryan have been married since 2012, only a year after they started dating when they met on the set of Green Lantern — the only good thing to come out of that film.

    They share four children: James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, and they surprised everyone with the arrival of their fourth child in 2023.

    In addition to being a happily married couple and busy parents, Wolverine and Taylor Swift's besties are working actors who have maintained a steady career over the years. According to Blake, to keep things together, they created a specific rule to follow.

    "When Ryan and I got together, we made a rule not to work at the same time so that we could always prioritize our personal life," Blake told her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costar Amber Tamblyn on an episode of her Substack show Further Ado.
