Before Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively became literally couple goals and trolled each other in the most adorable ways that make us so envious, they had storied pasts and dating histories.

For example, did you know that Ryan is rumored to have been the inspiration for the Alanis Morrissette song “You Oughta Know”?

With that said, let’s take a walk down Ryan Reynolds’s dating history shall we?

While we know the end game here (Ryan and Blake get married and have four beautiful children together), it was a journey to get there. Here are the people Ryan dated before Blake.

Many people didn’t know about this one. Ryan reportedly had a “fling” with Melissa Joan Hart in 1996 while the pair were filming the movie version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Look at those babies!

In 1998, Ryan was rumored to have dated his co-star Traylor Howard during their sitcom, Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. However, the pair never discussed their romance publicly.

In 1999, Ryan was paired with Kristen Johnson from the TV show Third Rock from the Sun. The two were paired together after attending The Green Mile premiere.

Ryan and singer Alanis Morrissette first started dating in 2002 and got engaged two years later in 2004. The pair were engaged for three years before splitting up in 2007. Ryan inspired Alanis’s album Flavors of Entanglement and more specifically the song “Torch.” Alanis hasn’t said who “You Oughta Know” is about, but it has been rumored to be about Ryan, among others.

Quickly after the break up with Alanis, Ryan started seeing Scarlett Johansson. The pair had a whirlwind romance and were married in 2008. Sadly, Ryan and Scarlett broke up just two years later.

Ryan and German model Agnes Fischer were seen together while Ryan filmed his movie Safe House in South Africa in 2011. It isn’t clear how long the two dated.

Ryan also reportedly had a two-month fling with actor Charlize Theron. They were set up by mutual friends, but the two supposedly had “different priorities” and they decided to go their separate ways.

This leads us to Ryan’s wife, the mother of his children, the stunning Blake Lively. Ryan and Blake met on the set of Green Lantern, but were just friends before going on a double date a year later with different people. During the date, they realized there was a spark. Ryan and Blake got married in 2012 and now have four beautiful children together.

Ryan and Blake are a Hollywood power couple and have beat the odds. They have been together for over 11 years and are going strong. Here’s to many more beautiful years together!
