Who is Don Saladino? Blake Lively playfully sets record straight about husband Ryan Reynolds amid puzzling personal trainer comment

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actress Blake Lively recently found herself in a lighthearted but confusing situation on Instagram, which led to her needing to clarify who the father of her children is. It all started when a fan asked the svelte star, "How have you had 4 kids?" In a playful response, the 'Gossip Girl' star jokingly tagged her personal trainer, Don Saladino.

However, realizing that her humorous remark might be misinterpreted, the 35-year-old bombshell swiftly clarified her comment. She made sure to emphasize, "'Wait, no. That's not how. He's not the father." Blake shares her four children with her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. She further expressed her admiration for her personal trainer, stating, "He's just the one who helps me fit into (some of) my clothes again after. He's an even better person and friend than trainer. And that's saying a lot," adding a black heart emoji.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' journey from co-stars to soulmates

Blake and Reynolds' love story began when they co-starred in the film 'Green Lantern' in 2010. However, at that time, they were both in relationships with other people. Blake was dating her Gossip Girl co-star, Penn Badgley, while Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson. Their path to romance had its twists and turns. Reynolds recalled a memorable moment when they were on a double date with other people, and he and Blake found themselves bonding.

"We were buddies then. I remember it was funny because, for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff, we were both single," he shared. "We went on a double date. She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl. That was the most awkward date [from their perspective] probably because we were just like fireworks coming across," Reynolds jokingly reminisced.

Despite the initial awkwardness, the couple officially started dating in the fall of 2011 and eventually tied the knot in a secret wedding in September 2012. Since then, they have become known for their playful and endearing roasts aimed at each other on Instagram.
