July: The couple celebrated the 10th anniversary of their first date by revisiting their favorite Boston restaurant, O Ya. "10 years later. We still go out on our 'first date.' But in much more comfortable shoes," Lively wrote on her Instagram Story. "If it weren't for this place. We wouldn't be together. No joke. No restaurant means more."
August: Reynolds and Lively walked their first red carpet since the pandemic began for the New York premiere of the former's film "Free Guy." In an Instagram Story, Reynolds credited Lively for how the movie came to be writing, "'Free Guy' wouldn't be the movie it is without @blakelively. She was essential in every part of the making of this film, creatively and emotionally, and the cameo everyone is talking about was entirely her idea."
November: Reynolds gushed about his wife while accepting an award at the Wall Street Journal's Innovator Awards. "She is a genius. She's a renaissance woman. And she pushes me in ways I never imagined I'd be pushed," he said in his speech. Later that month, he told Entertainment Tonight his secret to having a lasting marriage. "Falling in love is great, but do you like each other? That's kinda the question you gotta ask yourself, you know, going into it," he said. "We've always liked each other. We grow together. We learn from each other. So yeah, I'm lucky to have a buddy in that."
