It\u2019s no secret that Ryan Reynolds<\/strong><\/a> has an amazing sense of humor<\/a> when it comes to parenting his his four children \u2014 daughters James, Inez and Betty\u00a0and baby No. 4\u2014 with wife Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a>. From time to time, we like to look back at some of his most hilarious quotes about raising kids \u2014 and they might give you a laugh, too. From teaching the tiny tots life lessons to going on Disneyland trips (sort of), he has kept us cracking up along the way.<\/p>\n Although Ryan adores his kids (even if his tweets have a funny way of showing it), an insider previously dished to Life & Style<\/em> that the Deadpool<\/em> actor and the\u00a0Gossip Girl<\/em> alum were hoping for a son<\/a> when they were pregnant with their third child. \u201cThey already have two daughters \u2026 and while they\u2019re just hoping for a healthy child, they\u2019re secretly wanting a boy,\u201d the source revealed in May 2019. \u201cRyan says he\u2019s outnumbered at home, he\u2019s trying to even the playing field, so a son would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n The pair welcomed baby No. 4<\/a> in early 2023. The birth date, gender and name of their youngest child are unknown, however, Blake posted a photo<\/a> without her baby bump on February 12, 2023.<\/p>\n One day after the subtle confirmation post, Ryan gave fans an update on what it\u2019s like living in a household dominated by little ones.<\/p>\n \u201cLook, we wouldn\u2019t do this four times if we didn\u2019t love it,\u201d he said during a February 13 appearance on CNBC\u2019s Power Lunch<\/em>, after deeming his house as a \u201czoo.\u201d \u201dEverybody\u2019s doing great. Everybody\u2019s actually doing fantastic. If we haven\u2019t figured it out by now, I think we\u2019d be in deep trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n The Hitman\u2019s Bodyguard<\/em> star and the A Simple Favor<\/em> actress, who started dating after meeting on the set of Green Lantern<\/em> in 2010, make time for their relationship amid their busy Hollywood schedules and responsibilities as parents.<\/p>\n \u201cThey keep the romance alive with date nights<\/a>!\u201d a separate insider exclusively told Life & Style <\/em>after little Betty was born in December 2019.. \u201cEven if it means doing something simple, like going on a hike, enjoying a home-cooked dinner together or movie night \u2014 they\u2019re an extremely private couple and aren\u2019t really into the Hollywood scene.\u201d<\/p>\n However, it seems the actor would sometimes rather hang at home with his kiddos. \u201cLeaving the house is getting harder and harder<\/a>,\u201d Ryan\u00a0 previously revealed on the Today<\/em> show. \u201cIt gets a lot harder when they ask, \u2018Where are you going? When are you coming home? Why are you leaving me?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Scroll through the gallery below to see some of Ryan\u2019s best Twitter quotes about parenting and being a father!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
