After actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively married in 2012, they decided to call Northern Westchester County home, moving to the same town -- Bedford -- where iconic television personality Martha Stewart has lived for decades.

Shortly after, Reynolds, age 47, and the 37-year-old Lively bought a new multi-million dollar estate tucked away in a wooded area of neighboring Pound Ridge.

But it's not as if they've had much time to spend around the house.

Lively's hit "It Ends With Us," released in early August, has grossed around $340 million worldwide.

Lively plays the main character, flower shop owner Lily Bloom, in the love triangle set in Boston and is based on the novel of the same name.

Not to be outdone, Reynolds' superhero comedy "Deadpool & Wolverine" has become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, grossing over $1.3 billion worldwide. It was released just weeks before "It Ends With Us."

In the film, Reynolds (as Deadpool) teams with Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) to save the world from extinction.

It dropped digitally on Tuesday, Oct. 1 on Apple TV+, Prime Video, and Fandango.

In mid-September, Reynolds was asked NBC's Sunday Today host Willie Geist in an interview conducted at The Inn at Pound Ridge if he boasted to his wife about his movie having the edge at the box office.

"The only time in my life I've ever dreamt of coming in second," Ryan said, adding, "No, I think that's the sign of a good relationship.

"It's always been the one kind of constant with Blake and I: We really root for each other."
