I’m getting a bit tired of Blake Lively’s much-discussed “game”. She’s been with the same (boring) guy for months now, and it doesn’t feel like there’s any drama. People keep trying to force drama on Blake and Ryan Reynolds, but don’t you get the sense that they tend to stay in a lot and she cooks for him and then they have a fight about their dogs and then they have sex? Like, every night? I’m also getting tired of the endless tabloid speculation on the state of their relationship – some of which is Blake’s fault (the girl has a good publicist and Blake is VERY media-savvy), some of which is not (the tabloids love to make stuff up). Generally, I’ll believe that Blake and Ryan are coupled up to the point where maybe one or both of them is making long-term commitment plans. But that isn’t very dramatic, because I think they actually like and love each other.
Anyway… here’s the latest story:
After you win the girl’s heart, you have to woo her family – and it looks like Ryan Reynolds has scored on both fronts! Ryan, who has been dating Blake Lively since last fall, flew to NYC to visit her parents, Ernie and Elaine, in early February and made quite an impression.
“Blake’s family adores Ryan,” a source tells Star. “Blake’s sister Lori even refers to him in conversation as her ‘future brother-in-law.’ She is telling everyone Ryan is family. She says that’s it – Blake’s found The One.”
Meanwhile, Ryan is showing off his domestic side. He recently cooked a romantic dinner and filled Blake’s apartment with red roses as an early Valentine’s Day present, reveals the source. While there’s no proposal yet, that could change any day.
“Ryan and Blake are talking about rings,” says the source. “Blake really wants to find a vintage ring and have it reset. She feels like the luckiest girl in the world. Her career is going great, she’s landed Mr. Right” – and her family approves!

If this was another couple, I’d think that a girl’s sister referring to a dude as “her future brother-in-law” is enough to send most men running for the hills. But Ryan has shown a propensity towards marriage, so why is this a big deal? Maybe I’ve just come to terms with the fact that Bleo will never happen again. It’s all Blyan/Rake from here on out. Trips to Connecticut with Boomer and Muffy. Ice cream socials. Cake-baking. Somebody mix it up!!
I should also note this – neither Blake nor Ryan are scheduled to present at the Oscars as of this moment. I feel like Ryan is trying to influence Blake to be less of a camera-seeking famewhore. Which sucks, because I really wanted to see Blake at the Oscars this year.
