Ryan Reynolds is cherishing the present.

After the Deadpool & Wolverine star revealed the name of his and Blake Lively’s 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 boy Olin, Ryan detailed life at home with his son and the couple’s four daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4.

“It’s the best thing that ever happened to me,” Ryan told Amanda Hirsh during the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast July 30. “Embrace the chaos. We have four kids. Nothing’s going to be tidy ever again. It will, though, when they all leave the house.”

“My wife said to me, ‘They’re all under our roof right now.’ The 47-year-old explained. “‘The whole family’s under our roof right now. We have them all.’ And that is a fleeting thing. Not an infinite resource. Embrace the chaos of it all.”

Of course, The Proposal star admitted life as a dad of four isn’t always picture perfect—and offered some of his own advice.

And Ryan emphasized that he is looking forward to embracing home life after the intensity of filming and promoting his latest movie, which also stars Hugh Jackman.

Over the years, The Green Lantern star has often exemplified just how much he loves being a parent with Blake. After all, he recently admitted he isn’t against adding more to the couple’s brood.

“Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it,” he explained to CNBC last February. “Everybody’s doing great. Everybody’s actually doing fantastic.”

This Will Make Your Head Spin

“I have seen Frozen with my daughters so, so many times and people don’t know this, but if you play Frozen backwards, it’s actually a shot for shot remake of The Exorcist,” Reynolds joked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2018.

Fun Uncle

On Dec. 15, 2016, Reynolds and Lively debuted their daughters James and Inez for the first time, at the actor’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony (a common setting for notoriously private celebrities to introduce the world to their kids). During his speech, Reynolds said to his wife, “You make everything better—absolutely everything in my life better. You’ve given us two of the most incredible 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren that I could ever hope to have. You’ve made me the father of my dreams when I thought I only had fun uncle potential.”

Best Thing Ever

The Messy Side

“It’s tough when you get pooped on and barfed on, but having a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 is wonderful,” the proud mama told NW Magazine in 2016. “Even when it’s tough and I’m exhausted, I think, ‘I am so fortunate.’”

A Bullet for Baby

During a visit to the Late Show with David Letterman in 2015, Reynolds gushed about his marriage and his daughter, but made sure viewers knew who was more important. “‘I would take a bullet for you. I could never love anything as much as I love you.’ I would say that to my wife. And the second I looked in that 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢’s eyes, I knew in that exact moment that if we were ever under attack, I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢.”

The Joys of Fatherhood

Daddy’s Dirty Work

“I always do the dirty work,” Reynolds said on NBC’s Today show in 2016. “I’m happy to do the dirty work. So does she, but I’m always, I love getting up in the middle of the night, I’m fine with that, you know, all that stuff.”
