You know how it can feel insufferable when someone goes on and on and on about their amazing partner because you feel like all of those amazing things couldn’t possibly be accurate all the time? Yeah, well, the speech Blake Lively just gave about her husband is the exact opposite of that. Because it’s moving and sweet, but it’s also realistic and so genuine, it’s impossible not to smile while listening to it.
Lively, who is expecting her fourth child with Ryan Reynolds, took the stage at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Thursday night to pay tribute to her man as he received the 36th American Cinematheque Award. During her speech, captured by The Hollywood Reporter, honored Reynolds’ “heart, his philanthropy, his humor, his integrity, his unmatched work ethic,” while complimenting his love for his family.
“So many of those stunning qualities comes from his homeland, Canada,” Lively said. “And giving back to the country that gave him his life is critical to who he is as a person.”
