BLAKE LIVELY’s race to get RYAN REYNOLDS to the altar has hit the proverbial wall– his family!
The “Proposal” hunk’s close-knit family fears the “Gossip Girl” beauty is running roughshod over easygoing Ryan, sources say, and he’s put the brakes on wedding talk.
“Ryan’s family finds Blake overbearing and bossy,” revealed an insider. “His brothers have also told him that they think Blake is career obsessed. He’s eager for kids, but Blake has made it clear that work is her priority now.
“And when he bought a country house in Bedford, New York, for them to share, she immediately took control and embarked on a massive remodel. She even put him to work painting and doing plumbing repairs. She treats him more like a houseboy than a boyfriend!”
Ryan, 35, and Blake, 24, met while filming “Green Lantern” in 2010. They didn’t hook up until September 2011, although rumors swirled that they enjoyed an on-set affair while Ryan was still married to actress Scarlett Johansson.
Blake won Ryan’s heart because she seemed the opposite of his hard-charging ex-wife Scarlett, said the source.
The two are reportedly unofficially engaged and planning to wed in summer 2013 at the $2.6 million spread in Bedford.
But during a visit with Ryan’s family in Vancouver, Canada, in early May, Blake reportedly clashed with Ryan’s mother over where the couple should settle down.
“In the beginning, Blake cooked dinner, baked and even did Ryan’s laundry,” said the source.
“He fell for her hook, line and sinker, but his family is aghast that he’s talking about making another commitment so soon. They also have lingering suspicions about Blake’s role in ending Ryan’s marriage to Scarlett.
“After their last visit home backfired, Ryan told Blake to stop the wedding talk. It infuriated her, but she realizes that if she wants to marry him, she’s going to have to win over his family.”
