As far as celebrity relationships go, few seem as fun to be in as the one between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. They've managed to have fun with everything from parenting (they recently welcomed their second child) to the bizarre and wildly graphic sexual requests Reynolds regularly receives on Twitter. Plus, there is so much love in their relationship, it reads like a real-life version of The Notebook. As it turns out, the place in which they fell in love is just as romantic.
For Reynolds' 40th birthday, Lively took him back to their special spot and revealed it on Instagram. And it's as relatable as any non-celebrity relationship—the pair fell in love at a restaurant. Specifically, they discovered their feelings for one another at the Japanese restaurant O Ya in Boston. "We fell in love at your restaurant in Boston," wrote Lively in a tribute to both the restaurant and her husband. "We stay in love at your restaurant in NY. Thank you for the BEST food and memories! You are our FAVORITE!!" Then—remembering this is also a birthday post to her husband—she added: "Another happy birthday with @vancityreynolds. Hey, Reynolds, I like you a whole lot. Just sayin'...😍"

Could O Ya also be the spot where Lively and Reynolds went on a fateful double date? Fans of the couple might be aware that, earlier this year, Reynolds revealed that the moment he and Lively knew they made a good pair was when they went out to dinner as friends with their own dates. "About a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and we were both single we went on a double date—she was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl," he said. "It was like the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across."
Cue the fireworks emoji.
