As a dad of four, Ryan Reynolds is learning to « embrace the chaos. »
During Tuesday’s episode of the « Not Skinny But Not Fat » podcast, the « Deadpool & Wolverine » star gave a rare glimpse into what life at home is like with wife Blake Lively and their four children: daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, and 1-year-old son, Olin.
« Embrace the chaos, » the 47-year-old actor said. « [We] have four kids. Like, OK, nothing’s going to be tidy ever again. It will, though, when they all leave the house. »

Reynolds said Lively always reminds him « they’re all under our roof right now. The whole family’s under our roof right now. We have them all. And that is a fleeting thing. Not an infinite resource, you know? »
But the trials and tribulations of parenting can often be overwhelming, said Reynolds.
« It does get to you, » he admitted. « And it’s OK to be like, ‘f—, I am dying.’ Because that’s gonna happen every other day. »

Reynolds and Lively are notorious for keeping their kids out of the spotlight.
In July 2021, she opened up about a « frightening » paparazzi experience she endured with her daughters during which a man was allegedly stalking the family and hiding once they had noticed, according to a screenshot shared by the Comments by Celebs Instagram account, which has since been deleted.

« Where is your morality here? Lively added. « I would like to know. Or do you simply not care about the safety of children? »
