Ryan Reynolds is a doting dad to his children and a loving husband to his wife, Blake Lively.
A source told National Enquirer that Reynolds is enjoying fatherhood so much that he doesn’t might be running himself ragged for his family.
“He’s running himself ragged and there have been sleepless nights of him taking care of Blake’s needs and then the kids, but he’s not complaining. He’s treating it like a wild ride. When Blake gets a midnight craving for ice cream, he’s up in a heartbeat sprinting to the store to get it for her, even though everyone knows Blake is very picky about her ice cream. It’s got to be organic and hand-churned,” the source said.
The source also claimed that those close to Reynolds only have positive things to say about him.
“Ryan’s been amazing. He’s very accommodating. Even after the late-night ice cream runs, he still gets up early to make the kids’ breakfast. People wonder how he manages without ‘me’ time, but Ryan loves his family. They’ll always come first,” the source said.
Meanwhile, Reynolds has always been vocal about his journey with fatherhood. During his interview on The Late Show, the Deadpool star gushed over his kids.
“I used to say to her, ‘I would take a bullet for you. I could never love anything as much as I love you.’ 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,” he said (via Fatherly).
While it is true that Reynolds enjoys fatherhood so much, there’s no indication that he’s running himself ragged. Since he’s not new when it comes to being a dad, Reynolds must already have an idea as to what works for him and what doesn’t.
There’s also no indication that Lively isn’t sharing half the load with her husband. It’s true that the Gossip Girl actress will soon pop another baby so she needs plenty of rest. But once she’s able to take care of her kids, she will definitely help out in the household.
It is also important to note that Lively and Reynolds are both actors so their schedules are packed. So, they certainly have help at home.
