Blake Lively’s brother-in-law Bart Johnson is opening up about his relationship with wife Robyn Lively after 26 years of marriage.

“In September, it’s gonna be 26 [years] — I can’t believe it. In Hollywood, that’s 1,000 years,” Johnson, 54, exclusively told Us Weekly on Saturday, May 10, while attending iHeartRadio’s 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango presented by Fiji Airways.

“I know it sounds hyperbolic or something, but I am crazy about her and our relationship is better now than it ever has [been] before and I love that,” the High School Musical star continued. “I love that I can genuinely say that. She’s my best friend. We watch movies and hang out, eat popcorn together. We have the best time, so it’s the best.”

Johnson and Robyn, Blake’s older sister, started dating in 1998. The pair tied the knot in September 1999 and went on to welcome three children together: Kate, Baylen and Wyatt.

Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images; Mark Davis/Getty Images Blake Lively has a special brother-in-law in Bart Johnson. Ever since her sister, Robyn Lively, married Johnson in 1999, Blake has been able to count on her extended family members for love and support. “For 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of being friends with this kind, loving, committed, […]

Despite both being actors — Robyn plays character Ellie in the hit series Landman and voiced the role of Mrs. Claus in the 2022 animated series The Santa Clauses — and having an uber famous family member, Johnson told Us that the pair are pretty normal people. (They even showed up to the iHeart event in jeans, looking chill as ever.)

“We spend all our time with our kids,” Johnson explained. “I love it. I also understand the window closes and your kids are off and doing other things. I’m trying to cherish it as much as I can, as long as I can.”

Blake Lively’s brother-in-law Bart Johnson is claiming that there’s more to the story amid the It Ends With Us drama. After Johnson, 53, shared a sweet Instagram tribute to Lively, 37, in honor of her recent birthday, he received a comment from a fan critiquing the actress for “promoting happiness in a domestic violence setting […]

“Not to be a softy, but a lot of people see Valentine’s Day or they see Mother’s Day or whatever and they’re like, ‘Overrated, too much pressure.’ I have another take on that. Just make it special,” he told Us. “It’s one day a year. It’s Mother’s Day — just put some energy into that. Celebrate mothers and the amazing contributions they make to your life and your family and the world. Why not?”

He continued: “Robyn is on Landman and she takes off tomorrow morning [Mother’s Day] to go shoot another episode. Now I’m struggling with the gratitude of her being on an awesome show and [getting] to go play this really fun part on the show, and then me selfishly wanting my wife home to celebrate. It doesn’t matter what day it is – we’ll celebrate her when she gets home.”
