Ryan Reynolds Gives a Rare Heartfelt Speech About Blake Lively and Their Kids at the 2022 PCAs
The actor gets vulnerable.
Ryan Reynolds gave a glimpse of his sweet side in his acceptance speech for the Icon Award at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards in which he honored his wife, Blake Lively, and their children.
Usually, Reynolds tends to make jokes and keep it playful whenever he talks about his relationship with Lively or their family life. However, this time, he decided to do something different.
Reynolds began his acceptance speech by making a joke. “I feel like I’m at my funeral, except I get to leave. I guess I finally tested positive for icon. Been avoiding it for years but here we are,” he said. Then, he started thanking his family, giving a shout-out to his mother, Tammy, three brothers and late dad James, who died in 2015. “Boy, if he could see all the things going on, he wouldn’t be impressed with this stuff; he’d be the most blown away by his three little granddaughters,” he added.
He continued, “It’s gonna be a fourth child very soon. If it happens tonight while I’m here I will be looking for a couch to sleep on for a little while …. But Blake and my girls, you are quite literally my heart, my hope, my happiness. I joke that my family exhausts me, but in reality you give me more strength than any man could possibly deserve.”
