Hollywood's happiest couple! RYAN & BLAKE'S MARRIAGE SECRETS

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds celebrate 10 years of marriage this month and sources say they're more in love than ever.

"Usually, being married for 10 years, couples change or grow apart, but not them," an insider close to the A-listers shares. "They're still head over heels for each other."

With three young daughters and two massive Hollywood careers between them, Deadpool star Ryan, 45, and The Age of Adaline actress Blake, 35, would have every reason to feel frazzled by the demands of their hectic schedules.

But friends say there's one magic ingredient in their relationship that has buffered them against the stresses and strains of domesticity: a solid friendship.

"They genuinely like each other and cheer each other on," explains a source, "and in any relationship, that goes a very long way."

Not that there hasn't been the odd speed bump - just last month, Ryan confessed he'd bought half of a Welsh soccer team without checking with his wife and, to put things mildly, she "wasn't thrilled".

But, he added, she eventually came round to the idea after watching the team, Wrexham, lose one-nil at London's Wembley Stadium.

"We were lying in bed after the Wembley match and she's like, 'I'm now as obsessed if not more than you are with this club," he laughed. "It wasn't even a particularly riveting match."

Buying an obscure, fifth-tier footy club is all part of the adventure that the couple signed up for when they tied the knot in September 2012.
