Hollywood actors Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds welcomed their fourth child earlier this year and their name and gender still remain a mystery to the public.
The couple - who are also parents to daughters James, eight, Inez, seven and Betty, four - keep their adorable family out of the spotlight but there is no denying how much they adore being parents.
Although Ryan is outnumbered, he's previously confessed that he loves being a "girl dad" and if his brood were to expand further he'd have no problem with another female in their household.
But as a family of six already, is there room for more children? The loved-up duo have previously revealed they want a big family so is baby number five on the cards? Here's what we know.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' life with four kids
Going from three to four children was seamless for Blake and Ryan and when he spoke at the 2023 Canadian Screen Awards, he said as much.

“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.”
He also revealed that he comes from a family of four and Blake is one of five children, with both of them being the youngest in their families. We wonder if Blake is going for five kids just like her own family set up?
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds want a big family
Both Blake and Ryan have spoken about wanting a large family together.
Back in 2014, the former Gossip Girl star told US Weekly: "I never knew what I wanted to do for a living but I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family, so it was always important to me."

“We both come from big families — my parents did four, Blake’s did five. A lot of people say it’s crazy, but we’ll only know when we’re there, you know? We’ll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think.”
Ryan Reynolds on being a girl dad
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ryan was interviewed by Stephen Colbert from his home and confessed: "I do not miss masculine company at all. Really, most men tend to be the architects of someone’s demise. So, it’s fine. I like just being here with the girls. I like doing the girl stuff."

He added: "I love being a girl dad. I have three daughters, which I never in a million years would imagine. I come from all boys, I have three older brothers. So for me to have three daughters has been such a ride and I love every second of it." In fact, he loves it so much, he's said: "I'd have it no other way."
