“Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it,” he told hosts Tyler Mathisen and Kelly Evans on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” this week.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively always have their kids front of mind during date night.

On Monday, July 22, the Deadpool actor, 47, appeared as a guest on Live with Kelly and Mark, where he opened up about the couple’s recent date night dilemma.

“We went on a date the other night and our oldest was going to kill us,” Reynolds recalled, speaking about his 9-year-old daughter James. “Just for going on a date; just for tending to the relationship.”

“Everybody’s doing great. Everybody’s actually doing fantastic,” he said. CNBC

The dad of four continued, “And we did, and what’s crazy is, the whole time we’re there, we just talked about [our kids], when you think you’re going to be talking about [something else].”

Reynolds and Lively, 36, who tied the knot in 2012, share three daughters: James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4. The couple also welcomed a fourth baby in 2023, but have yet to reveal the name or sex.

During a SiriusXM interview on Friday, July 19, Reynolds revealed that his kids watch The Greatest Showman “all the time,” and have even acted the musical out with his Deadpool costar Hugh Jackman.

“This is a true story, I’m not making this up,” Reynolds prefaced, before revealing he had walked into his house before to find his Deadpool costar acting out the hit film with his kids.

“I’ve come in, I’ve heard The Greatest Showman playing, and I come around the corner, and there’s my kids watching the movie, singing along,” he recalled. “And there’s Hugh acting it out with them, like, just this big kid.”

Reynolds said it was one of “the most heartbreaking, beautiful things I’d ever seen,” and even joked that he turned in his dad card afterward. “I knew I would never be able to top it, so I started a new life, so I’ve started a new life in a new country with a secret family.”

Jackman then chimed in, “By the way, we didn’t rent it, we bought it on your account. Residuals.”
