For some, it may be hard to believe there was a time when Ryan Reynolds wasn’t married to (and shutting down the red carpet with) Blake Lively. The couple wed in a private South Carolina ceremony in 2012, and a decade later, they’re the parents of four children, run multiple businesses, and troll each other incessantly on social media for fans’ enjoyment.

But before he and the former “Gossip Girl” star tied the knot, Reynolds actually had a pretty colorful dating history. From romancing his television and movie costars to stealing the hearts of ’90s It girls and singers, here’s a deep dive into all the women Reynolds has publicly been linked to over the years.

1 Melissa Joan Hart

2 Traylor Howard

3 Kristen Johnston

4 Alanis Morissette

5 Scarlett Johansson

6 Agnes Fischer

7 Charlize Theron

8 Blake Lively

Reynolds met “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively while playing love interests in 2010’s “Green Lantern” (before his divorce from Johansson), but sparks didn’t fly until a year later when they were on a double date with other people. “She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl,” Reynolds said during a 2016 interview on Entertainment Weekly’s Sirius XM show (via E!). “That was the most awkward date [from their perspective] probably because we were just like fireworks coming across.”

In September 2012, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in South Carolina attended by just 35 guests. They welcomed their first daughter, James, in 2014. Their second daughter, Inez, was born in 2016. While the couple keeps their children off social media and rarely give fans a glimpse of them, they got a first sighting of the gorgeous kiddos in December 2016 when the pair brought the girls to celebrate Reynolds’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony (pictured above).

The couple welcomed their third daughter, Betty, in 2019, and their fourth child (the sex of which is still unknown) in 2023.
