Ryan Reynolds has mostly kept his family life with wife Blake Lively and their three daughters private.

But the Golden Globe nominee doesn't hesitate to express his love for his four favorite girls, the Daily Mail reported.

He recently admitted he 'never in a million years would've imagined' being a father to three girls, as he gushed about Lively and their daughters to Access Hollywood.

The 44-year-old actor said: "They're like the most capable people I know. If anything got crazy or scary in my life, they're the first people I would lean on because they have wisdom and strength and they're calm under fire."

"I love being a girl dad. I have three daughters, which I never would've imagined. I come from all boys. I have three older brothers — I'm the youngest of four boys," he added.

Reynolds also revealed how he and Lively, 33, prioritize their family.

"I try to be as present as possible. We don't split up. Like I shoot movies and my wife shoots movies, and we go travel all over the place and we just all go together."

He and Lively tied the knot in September of 2012, after meeting on the set of their 2011 superhero flick Green Lantern. They welcomed daughters James, five, in December of 2014, and Inez, four, in September of 2016.

The couple most recently announced the birth of baby Betty, one, in October, 2019.

Serving fans of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel "It Ends With Us" was at the heart of bringing the book to the big screen, actress Blake Lively says.

At the London premiere of the romantic drama on Thursday, Lively said that turning the novel into a film, was "a great responsibility, but also an opportunity."

"When you have to service a group of people who are so passionate about the source material ... to be able to serve people who care so much, is beautiful," the actor said.

In the movie Lively plays Lily Bloom, a Boston-based florist who falls for handsome neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, portrayed by Justin Baldoni, who also directed the film.

As their relationship gets more serious, Ryle starts showing traits reminiscent of Lily's father's abusive behavior, triggering her childhood trauma and forcing Lily to make tough decisions about her future to break a toxic pattern.

Lively, who made her directorial debut with Taylor Swift's "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)" music video, received her first producer credit on "It Ends With Us".

"I used to feel like an impostor because I would watch actors who were just shapeshifters. And then I realized that half of the actors that I admire most are people who had to get their hands in the storytelling, the writing and the creating and I was like, oh, okay, there's two different categories and I'm in this category, and that's okay," she said.

"Once I started embracing that and leaning into it and not feeling embarrassed about it, I think I was able to do the best work. And so that's why I'm so proud of this film," she said.

"It Ends With Us" began its global cinematic rollout on August 7 and is out in US and UK theaters on August 9.
