Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have been together for almost a decade.
Having met in 2010 and having gotten married in 2012, with three lovely daughters, you might think that one of Hollywood’s favorite couples would have no regrets when it comes to their relationship, but it appears that that is not the case.
The couple has received heat in the past for their choice of wedding venue.
The two were married at the Boone Hall Plantation, and received many criticisms for getting married and having a celebration at a site where great injustice and tragedy had occurred.
In a new interview , Ryan addresses this controversy and claims it is a choice that they regret.
“It’s something we’ll always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for,” Ryan said.
“It’s impossible to reconcile,” Ryan added, before explaining how they came to have their wedding there. “What we saw at the time was a wedding venue on Pinterest. What we saw after was a place built upon devastating tragedy.”
“Shame works in weird ways,” Ryan added, noting he and Blake got “married again at home.”
“A giant [expletive] mistake like that can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action. It doesn’t mean you won’t [expletive] up again. But repatterning and challenging lifelong social conditioning is a job that doesn’t end,” he said.
It’s awesome to see celebrities taking responsibility!
