Ryan Reynolds is a doting father to four young children, who he shares with Blake Lively

The celebrity couple are notoriously private when it comes to their family life, and are yet to reveal the gender or name of their fourth child, who was born earlier this year. 

However, late last week, the Deadpool star gave a rare insight into his family life and how they have been coping.

 "You know, two to three [kids] was a huge jump," the 46-year-old, told ET Canada on Friday.

 "Three to four less so. I cannot speak for my wife, but it's just from what I've observed. But, we love it. You know, we would be idiots to do this again if we didn’t love it."

The celebrity couple are also parents to eight-year-old daughters James, Inez, six, and three-year-old Betty. They made their first public appearance as a family-of-six at the end of March, when they went to visit the grounds of Wrexham AFC, the team that Ryan co-owns.

 This was the first time that the celebrity couple had introduced their newborn baby to the public too. The pair took it in turns to hold their baby - whose name and gender is yet to be revealed - while their daughters posed in front of their famous parents.

While this was most of Ryan's family's first time in Wrexham, his eight-year-old daughter James previously joined her dad during a visit to the stadium earlier in the year. 

He took his first trip to Wrexham in 2022, having not been able to come along sooner due to the pandemic restrictions.

Now balancing life with four children, Ryan and Blake couldn't be happier. Blake had shared a photo of herself on Instagram, showing the A Simple Favor actress visibly without her baby bump, alluding in her caption that it was a recent snap and that she had "been busy."
