Ryan and Lively have been married for the past seven years and they are one of the most idealistic couples of Hollywood. The couple shares two daughters, 4-year-old James and 2-year-old Inez. Now, they are expecting their third child.

During an appearance on “The Late Show With David Letterman, Reynolds said: “I’m just a diaper-changing facility hooked up to a life-support system, but my wife, she’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner,”
“She’s a human Denny’s all day long … and it never ends for her. She’s the most beautiful Denny’s you’ve ever seen though, I guarantee it.”
