For Ryan Reynolds' 40th birthday Sunday, Blake Lively took her husband out to dinner at their special place—the one she fell in love with him at, presumably on that double-date-with-other-people-turned-their-first-date they've both talked about.
She generously shared the restaurant's identity to everyone this evening in her birthday post to Reynolds, which was also a big love letter to the place.
To Japanese restaurant O Ya, she writes, "we fell in love at your restaurant in Boston. 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 wh❤️le lot. Just sayin'...😍"
And there it is, a girl celebrating her two great loves in life: her man and food.
