I'm a huge fan of this couple and if you are too, then here are some information that were not disclosed in the media for a long time since they were acquainted with each other.
It is because of the film entitled "Green Lantern" that these two met. They were both included in the cast as the leading actor and actress. However, they both have a different partner during that time.
Here's a timeline of how their love story went:
Comic-Con Debut of Green Lantern (July 24, 2010)
As mentioned, they met in the casting of this film in 2010. On July 24, they went together to San Diego's Comic-con for the event and made their first appearance there. However, they were not yet involved romantically. In fact, they have different partners at that time. Blake Lively was in a relationship with her co-star in "Gossip Girl" Penn Badgley while Ryan Reynolds was married to Scarlet Johansson, the famous actress behind these films (Lucy, Ghost in the Shell, Avengers as Black Widow).
Green Lantern is such a great movie though.

As per the interview, Ryan recalled that awkward evening telling Entertainment Weekly, "We were friends and we just met a year ago from Green Lantern and things were happening lightly and all that stuff then we both found each single.
