Ryan Reynolds is extremely fond of his wife, as you can read here, “She always responds with empathy. She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were 5 or 6 years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person. I had a much-fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times.”
