Speaking to Marie Claire last year, Lively revealed why she decided to marry Reynolds – with whom she has two children – in the first place.

“I knew he would always be my best friend for my whole life,” she said. “That was the biggest thing to me. I’d never known anything like the friendship that I had with him.

“I could like him as much as I loved him.”

She went on to add: “All my eggs are in one basket, and that’s my family. That’s where my heart is. That’s where my everything is. That’s the thing that I feel most protective of and the thing that I feel is the most exposed when I feel exploited.”
