Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively first met in 2010 while filming the superhero movie Green Lantern , where they played on-screen love interests.

Quick Scoop: Their First Meeting

  • They met on the set of Green Lantern in the summer of 2010, working together as co‑stars.
  • At the time, both were in other relationships: Blake was dating her Gossip Girl co‑star Penn Badgley, and Ryan was married to Scarlett Johansson.
  • Their connection started as a friendship on that set, not a romance, which both of them have later said became the foundation of their relationship.

From Co‑Stars to Couple

  • About a year after Green Lantern , when they were both single, they went on a now‑famous “double date” where each was technically with someone else, but they felt the chemistry with each other.
  • Ryan Reynolds has called that double date “the most awkward date” for the other two people because he and Blake were clearly hitting it off.
  • They stayed friends for a while before officially dating, and both have said starting as friends was key to how strong their relationship became.

TL;DR: Ryan Reynolds met Blake Lively in 2010 on the set of Green Lantern while they were both in other relationships, and their friendship from that project eventually turned into a romance about a year later.
