Lively previously told PEOPLE about the romantic gestures Reynolds would make when they first started dating. “He would send me a bouquet of flowers every week,” she recalled. “But he would always send a card and it would just be a sentence of something that had happened that week. Something funny or emotional that one of us said.”

“It was just a little quote of the week,” she added at the time. “It was such a beautiful, romantic thing. Now we have 4,000 children!”
