If you've ever been friends with someone who has a seemingly perfect relationship with their other half, you might be guilty to experiencing the half sickening, half jealous feeling that comes with hearing about their love.

'Oh, you're boyfriend doesn't squirm when you ask to take a photo with him on holiday?

'Sorry what? Your other half actually remembers to ask you how your day was?

'Wait, your partner remembers to put the toilet seat down in the morning? Oh, how sweet…'

Sometimes, watching another couple revel in their romance can either merit a dramatic eye roll or a tearful breakdown.

Fortunately for Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, we can't help applaud their recent amorous outing as they made a rare public appearance with their daughters during a family trip for brunch in New York City.

According to the Inquisitir, the 40-year-old actor and his wife were spotted leaving a popular brunch sport in Soho before walking along with their daughters – two-year-old, James, and five-month-old, Ines.

The Deadpool actor was spotted wearing a green padded jacket, a flat cap and thick, black-rimmed glasses for the outing, while his eldest daughter sat on his shoulders, her curly blonde hair bouncing as they walked through the Big Apple.

Meanwhile, Blake – who wore a black wide-brimmed hat and multi-coloured fur coat – was seen pushing along a pram.

The family outing is a rare surprise for onlookers as the celebrity couple currently live in a quiet town called Bedford in upstate New York.

'They moved to the suburbs, which has a pretty conservative lifestyle,' an insider close to the pair told People.

Is it possible to adopt new parents, by any chance?

Because we'll be first in line with the papers for Lively and Reynolds.
