Gossip Girl star Blake Lively covers the new issue of Allure. In the mag, she discusses how happy she is, and how she’d like nothing more than to have 30 kids.

She also shows off her amazing legs in some insanely short shorts.

Before Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds married in a top secret wedding in South Carolina over the weekend, she was already overcome by pre-marital bliss.

“Right now, I’m so peaceful,” says the Gossip Girl star, 25, whose romance with Reynolds, 35, went public last October. “I’ve never been happier in my life.”

After seeing these photos, Ryan is probably thinking the same:

The down-to-earth Lively says she’d rather be happy than flawless any day:

“I obviously have plenty of imperfections on my body, but I’d rather have a bit of cellulite and go do a food trip and try every ice cream place in the South.”

Happiness, Lively says, is a conscious thing: “It’s the choice you have to wake up every day and say, ‘There’s no reason today can’t be the best day of my life.'”

Profound. While she didn’t mention Ryan by name or divulge any wedding plans (clearly), she was clearly in a family state of mind. The girl wants kids.

“I’ve always wanted a big family,” says the actress, who is the youngest of five children herself. “Oh, I’d love 30 [children] if I could.”

They’d probably be the hottest kids ever.
