BLAKE & RYAN HOW BABY NUMBER 3 SAVED US!

After a few minor bumps in the road, the gorgeous couple’s marriage is right back on track thanks to date nights and a growing brood

They looked like newlyweds. A month ago, Blake Lively and her husband of seven years, Ryan Reynolds, snuck out for a romantic brunch in New York City.

‘They seemed so happy and into each other,’ says a witness, adding that the couple couldn’t stop smiling and laughing. ‘They held hands throughout the meal and were even stealing bites of food off each other’s plates! It was very cute.’

The sweet outing was a far cry from earlier this year, when the stars’ marriage experienced a few serious hiccups, according to an insider. ‘Things got pretty rough there for a while. They were bickering constantly, and there was a point when friends worried they could be on the brink of divorce,’ the insider reveals, adding that Blake and Ryan refused to give up on each other. ‘It wasn’t easy, but they both made the decision to work on their relationship.’
