Blake Lively: “I’ve never been happier in my life” - The actress, who wed Ryan Reynolds over the weekend, makes the admission in the latest issue of Allure magazine and also says she wants a big family

She’s stunningly beautiful, and now Blake Lively has an equally gorgeous husband.

And what with a stellar Hollywood career, she really does seem to have it all. But, she is also quick to acknowledge that she is blessed.

In the October issue of Allure, the actress gushes about her good fortune, saying: ”Right now, I’m so peaceful. I’ve never been happier in my life. It’s the choice that you have to wake up every day and say, ’There’s no reason today can’t be the best day of my life.’ ”

The 25-year-old also says that children are very much on her mind,

“I’ve always wanted a big family. Oh, I’d love 30 [children] if I could,” she says, in the interview that was conducted prior to her secret nuptials.

Lively also reveals that far from being a spotlight-grabbing star, she is intensely shy.

“I’m a very shy person,” she reveals. “I can be outgoing, but I’m also very private.”
