Ryan Reynolds, 46, has been married to his wife Blake Lively, 35, since 2012, with the couple welcoming their fourth child just two months ago.

Speaking to ET Canada at the 2023 Canadian Screen Awards on Friday, the Deadpool star explained how things have been at home with their new addition, outlining if the family have struggled to adjust to a family of six.

He explained: "You know, two to three was a huge jump…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 Hollywood actor explained his desire to have a large family was due to him and Blake coming from large families themselves.

He continued: "Yeah, I come from four, Blake comes from five. Both of us are the youngest."

The name and sex of the couple's youngest is yet to be revealed.

Ryan previously gave an update on his new family of six, quipping he felt like he was living in a "zoo".

Speaking on CNBC's Power Lunch in February: "We’re very excited. We wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it.

"Everyone is doing great. Everyone is actually doing fantastic.

"If we hadn’t figured it out by now, I think we’d be in deep, deep trouble! But it’s a zoo over here."

Last month, fans even praised the actor online when a video circulated of Ryan with his family at a Wrexham FC match.

The clip showed the Wrexham co-owners three daughters running towards him on the field at the stadium in Wales.

Ryan then bent down to kiss his daughters, with Blake walking closely behind.

Speculation has circled on whether Blake and Ryan have finally welcomed a son, with the Red Notice star previously admitting he wanted a daughter.

He confessed when the Gossip Girl star was pregnant with her third child that he wanted another daughter.

He told Access Hollywood in November 2021: "When we had our youngest, I was quietly terrified it was gonna be a boy because I didn’t know, we didn’t know.

"I didn’t know anything but girls. I grew up with boys and I was constantly being thrown through walls when there was a perfectly good door five feet away."
