Reynolds began dating singer Alanis Morissette in 2002 after meeting at Drew Barrymore's birthday party, and the couple announced their engagement in June 2004.[270][271] In February 2007, their representatives confirmed they had mutually decided to call their engagement off.[272] Morissette later revealed that her album Flavors of Entanglement (2008) was inspired by the heartbreak of their breakup, with the song "Torch" specifically written about Reynolds.[271][273][274] Shortly after his breakup with Morissette, Reynolds began dating actress Scarlett Johansson in April 2007.[275] The couple announced their engagement in May 2008[276][277] and married September that year in a private ceremony in Vancouver Island.[278][279] On December 14, 2010, they announced their separation.[280][281] Reynolds filed for divorce in Los Angeles on December 23, with Johansson filing her response at the same time.[282][283] Their divorce was finalized in July 2011.[284][285]

Reynolds first met Blake Lively in July 2010 while filming Green Lantern (2011), in which they costarred.[286][287] They began dating in October 2011 and married on September 9, 2012, at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.[286][288] Following civil rights protests in 2020, Reynolds publicly apologized and expressed deep regret for choosing a venue with ties to slavery. The couple later renewed their vows at home in New York.[289] They have four children together: three daughters—James, Inez, and Betty—and a son, Olin.[290] The family lives in Pound Ridge, New York.[291] Reynolds and Lively are close friends with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who named the characters in her 2020 song "Betty" after their daughters.[292] In November 2024, Reynolds confirmed that Swift is the godmother to his three daughters.[293] He is also close friends with Hugh Jackman, whom he credits for introducing him to Shawn Levy—the director of three of his films.[294]
After battling Parkinson's disease for the last twenty years, Reynolds's father James died in 2015.[295] Reynolds has openly discussed his lifelong struggle with anxiety,[296][297] revealing in 2018 that he often conducted interviews in character as Deadpool to help manage his fears.[298] In 2024, he reiterated that his anxiety makes him "quiet" and "shy" outside of acting.[294] He became an American citizen around 2018, and voted for the first time in the 2020 presidential election.[299]
