The 44-year-old said: ‘No joke, 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. They have courage under fire.’

He added: ‘I love being a girl dad. I have three daughters, which I never in a million years would’ve imagined. I come from all boys. 

‘I have three older brothers — I’m the youngest of four boys, so for me to have three daughters has just been such a ride, and I love every second of it.’

Reynolds also revealed how he and Lively, 33, prioritize their family, while keeping up with their busy work schedules.
