Blake Lively is, of course, married to the other famous Ryan actor, Ryan Reynolds!

Ryan and Eva like to keep their home life rather private, but in recent months they pair have begun to share snippets with fans. The La La Land star recently opened up about fatherhood and shared how he didn't know he wanted to be a father until Eva told him she was pregnant with Esmeralda.

"I would never want to go back, you know?" he said. "I'm glad I didn't have control over my destiny in that way, because it was so much better than I ever had dreamed for myself." 

The actor now has two daughters, Esmeralda Amada, eight, and Amada Lee, seven.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight Canada, Ryan revealed that he hasn't exactly gotten the most approval from his daughters when it comes to Barbie playing time.

"My kids, their Barbies aren't even named 'Barbie,'" he explained, adding: "They all have their own names [and] very complicated lives, backstories, interrelationships, history – you gotta know it all." And good luck if you don't!

He further joked: "[The dolls] don't even talk!" continuing: "And by the way, [Ken] works at a grocery store, he's not a fireman. You gotta know [the story lines]."
