Ryan Reynolds Confesses to Unconventional Sleeping Arrangement With Wife Blake Lively and 4 Kids

Simply put, parenting is hard—and that's something Ryan Reynolds isn't shying away from talking about.

In a recent interview, the Deadpool & Wolverine star opened up about his and wife Blake Lively's current sleeping arrangement being one thing that has been affected living in a home with their four young children.

While chatting with Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast host Amanda Hirsch, the Free Guy actor was asked about "any updated dad advice" he could offer after welcoming his fourth new addition last year.

After making a joke about challenging himself on how "absent" he can be, he switched gears to answer honestly, explaining, "Right now, I think it's just embrace this chaos."

"Nothing's gonna be like, tidy, ever again, when you walk in," he added. "Yes it will, though, when they all leave the house."

Reynolds continued to draw on those sentiments, mentioning that "Blake always says, 'They're all under our roof right now. The whole family is under our roof right now. We have them all,' and like, that is a fleeting thing."

In fact, the couple—who've been married since 2012—seemingly doesn't even get the opportunity to sleep next to each other at home (which many parents of young kids can relate to), as the actor admitted his children "can't even fall asleep unless they're in our bed."

"As much as I wanna say I would love to spread out and fall asleep normally, I sort of..." he said, before Hirsch cut in joking, "You'll do that, when you're Hugh's [Jackman] age."

"That's true, God-willing," Reynolds responded comically.

Still, he offered encouragement for fellow caregivers of little ones, acknowledging that sometimes, the pressure of parenting "does get to you," which is "okay."

"That's gonna happen every other day, but if you can just think about like, what you would give in 40 years or 30 years to come back and enjoy this one moment," the IF star added.
