With two daughters under the age of two, stellar acting careers and several award-winning blockbuster films under their belt, and a mutual love for Jake Gyllenhaal, it's no surprise Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are Hollywood's golden couple du jour.

So, it came as a welcome surprise the couple attended last night's Time 100 Gala, where the 40-year-old Deadpool actor was honoured among the world's 'most influential' in Manhattan, New York.

Wearing a Marchessa black chantilly-lace cocktail dress featuring a sheer cape, floral embroidery, and rainbow tassels, The Shallows actress looked stunning as she posed alongside her husband of four years, who contrasted her outfit in a navy-blue tuxedo.

Walking the red carpet before the event, the couple couldn't take their eyes off each other, as Blake regularly placed her bejeweled hand on her husband's chest several times during the photo opportunity.

Jealous much?

During the evening, Ryan was spotted putting a caring arm around Blake before catching up with some of the film industry's biggest power players including producer heavyweight, Harvey Weinstein, and comedic actress, Leslie Jones.

And it looks like Jones was just as happy as we would be if we met Ryan and Blake, in person.

The pair – who are parents to Ines (six-moths-old) and James (two) – also posed alongside our other favorite A-list couple, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.

I mean, that right there is our dream dinner party guest scenario.

Following the event, Reynolds took to Instagram to thank Time 100 for the honour, writing:

'Thank you #Time100 For including me in this ridiculous list of brilliant and sometimes terrifying people. And the gorgeous @helenmirren ... I thank you from the heart of my bottom for the kindest words ever. They will be sung by a children's choir at my extravagant funeral.'
