In a heartwarming and inspirational interview with Glamour (seriously, this is a must-read for all the feminist feels), Blake Lively gushes about her witty husband, Ryan Reynolds. Blake, who is currently in Vancouver with Ryan and their daughters, Inez and James, while he films Deadpool 2, says that she loves him "most of the time," but even more so when he’s tweeting hilarious tidbits about their little girls.
“He may as well work for the Enquirer. When he says ‘my daughter,’ he’s never, ever talking about her. Everything is a completely made-up scenario. He’ll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh,” she says.
My daughter loves being buried up to her neck in sand at the beach. Her little face lights up when I come back to get her the next day.

It’s not that she doesn’t love Ryan all the time, but Blake says she hates when tabloids write stories about how perfect her life is, calling it "nonsense." She finds that it’s better to veer somewhere in the middle; after all, that’s what real relationships are like. "There’s never a time when I’m like, 'I don’t really love you,'" she explains. "Still, in a sound bite? It can be eye-roll-y. I have to learn to stop being defensive."
Blake adds that she and her husband know a thing or two about compromise, especially since they have agreed never to work at the same time. “I admire people who find that what fulfills them is their art or their work, but what fulfills both me and my husband is our family. Knowing that, everything else comes second.”
Unsurprisingly, Blake's newest movie is about a relationship with an interesting and complicated dynamic. All I See Is You, the story of a blind woman who regains her sight and sees her marriage in a new light, comes out this September—and until then, I'll be dying over Ryan's made-up tweets.
