‘It’s a zoo over here!’: Ryan Reynolds jokes about the chaos of family life after wife Blake Lively welcomed 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 number four

Ryan Reynolds humorously revealed that his home has become a ‘zoo’ during CNBC’s Power Lunch on Monday, not long after confirming that he and wife, Blake Lively, had welcomed their fourth child.

The Deadpool actor, 46, further expressed that, ‘We’re very excited,’ during the virtual interview, which he appeared to be doing from his laptop in a spacious kitchen.

‘It’s a zoo over here. This is my office here. To be honest, I’ll probably spend the rest of my life in here,’ he jokingly admitted.

Ryan and the Gossip Girl alum, 35, who nonchalantly announced earlier on Super Bowl Sunday that 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 number four had been born, already share three daughters, James, 8, Betty, 6, and Inez, 3.

‘Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it,’ and further added, ‘Everybody’s doing great. Everybody’s actually doing fantastic. If we hadn’t figured it out by now, I think we’d be in deep, deep trouble.’

However, when asked whether their fourth child was a boy or a girl, The Adam Project actor chose to not disclose the answer, and instead stated, ‘I ain’t telling. This ain’t a birth announcement.’

Ryan, who appeared in a Super Bowl ad for Aviation Gin, continued, ‘We didn’t make a birth announcement, we just posted a photo and the media sort of did what it does after that.’

The Age Of Adeline actress posted an Instagram photo series earlier on Sunday in celebration of the Super Bowl, with the first snap showing the blonde beauty posing in between Ryan and his mother, Tammy.

Fans and social media users were quick to notice that the now mother of four no longer had a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 bump.

In the caption of the carousel of snaps, the talented beauty penned to her 38 million followers, ‘Puppy Bowl Sunday 2023,’ while adding, ‘been busy.’

The happy 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 news came shortly after a source informed Us Weekly a few months earlier in November that Blake does ‘not have long to go now’ until she welcomes a fourth addition.

The happy couple have yet to reveal the name of the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, as well as a picture of their adorable newborn.

Along with the cute family photo that was taken in what appeared to be in a comfortable living room, the actress also shared a few photos of the delicious food they indulged in during the big game day.

Shortly after the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 announcement, a source close to the two lovebirds informed People that, ‘Blake and Ryan are amazing together.’

‘Ryan is a great dad. He is very sweet to Blake. They are very excited about the new 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢,’ the insider expressed, and added, ‘The older siblings have adjusted great.’

A separate source told Us Weekly earlier Wednesday that the couple, ‘couldn’t be more thrilled right now. They are doing fantastic and are happier than ever.’

Blake officially announced she was expecting 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 number four earlier last year in September 2022 while attending the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit.

She had put on a radiant display wearing a gold, sequin minidress that perfectly showcased her growing 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 bump while posing for photos on the star-studded red carpet.

A source at the time also informed People that the happy news was a big shock, stating that, ‘She kept it very quiet. Even her friends were surprised that she was pregnant again,’ the insider further added.

The source opened up about the actress loving motherhood, stating, ‘Her kids are her first priority over everything.’

‘You never would think that Blake Lively, this superstar and beautiful woman would be this regular person who cooks dinner every night and takes care of the family, but she is really wonderful with the kids.’

While both the talented beauty and her husband of ten years have yet to also reveal the gender of their newborn, Ryan opened up about possibly having another 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 girl joining their family.

The Free Guy actor expressed on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon late last year, ‘I know I’m a bit of a hen myself. I know girls. I’m a girl dad. I’m used to that. I’m ready for that.’

Blake had also kept her fans up-to-date throughout the course of her pregnancy, and shared an Instagram photo series shortly after the actress confirmed she was expecting her fourth child.

The couple first crossed paths on set of Green Lantern in 2010, and officially began dating the following year. They tied the knot during a romantic wedding ceremony in 2012 in South Carolina.
