Ryan Reynolds 'Loves the Comfort' New Wife Blake Lively Provides

In Ryan Reynolds' eyes -- OK, in most guys' eyes -- Blake Lively is the total package.

The low-key duo and "Green Lantern" costars -- who tied the knot in an intimate, top-secret Charleston, S.C. ceremony Sept. 9 -- first bonded during quiet date nights at Lively's New York apartment, where the actress showed off her culinary prowess. ("I love, love to bake!" Lively told Us Weekly last year.)

"Ryan loves the comfort Blake provides," an insider tells Us. "It's like, 'You were on the cover of Vogue and you want to cook me dinner? Yes, please!'"

Echoes another source, "They are ridiculously in love."

On Thursday, Lively, 25, headed back to work on the set of "Gossip Girl" in New York, where two things were noticeably absent -- her wedding ring, and that baby bump everyone has been on the lookout for.

That morning, her rep slammed a report in The New York Post's Page Six that the actress and Reynolds, 35, are expecting, calling the rumors "completely untrue."

Though she's not pregnant now, kids might not be too far off for the head-over-heels newlyweds.

"I've always wanted a big family," Lively told the October issue of Allure. "Oh, I'd love 30 [children] if I could."
