Ryan Reynolds praised his children for their emotional intelligence and gratitude. He believes it’s essential for them to understand the world around them and connect with others. He humbly described himself as doing an “OK” job as a dad but is happy to see his children developing a strong sense of empathy.
Parenting, however, comes with challenges. Reynolds shared how difficult it is to be away from his kids for work. While promoting Deadpool or other projects, he misses milestones like school events or sports competitions. “I hate missing important moments. It’s the hardest part of my job,” he confessed.
Despite these struggles, Reynolds tries to stay involved. During a recent interview with actor Andrew Garfield, he mentioned being cautious about committing to projects like Deadpool 4 due to the time demands of writing and starring in films.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake, known for their playful humor on social media, are devoted to their family life. Reynolds often jokes about expanding their family further, but he always puts his children’s needs above all else.
The couple’s commitment to parenting shows that despite fame and success, they remain focused on creating a happy and grounded life for their kids.
