Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Totally Awkward First Date

Theirs seems like a love story fit for a romance novel, however Ryan Reynolds has revealed it's a little more comedy (well ok, still maybe rom-com) than you might think...

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly's SiriusXM radio show, the 39-year-old revealed details of their awkward first date.

"We were buddies then. I remember it was funny because for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff we were both single," he said.

"We went on a double date - she was on a date with another guy and I was on a date with another girl. That was the most awkward date from their perspective probably because we were just like fireworks coming across. It was weird at first but we were buddies for a long time. I think the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends."

Blake and Ryan went on to tie the knot in 2012 and welcomed daughter James in December 2014.

Speaking of fatherhood, Ryan couldn't stop gushing, "I love it," he said.

"Having a child is amazing. I just always marvel how common it is and yet how profound it is. And I always laugh because you know with celebrities you always cringe when they talk about their kids. Like 'My child is the only one that has ever exited a womb, ever.' Well, a lot of people have done this, so you always want to temper it with a little of self-effacement. But I love it. I truly worship that kid. It's terrible. She has me so far wrapped around her finger it's dumb. She says "Dada" and I will walk through a cement wall to get to her."
