Ryan Reynolds is opening up on how proud he is to be a father of three daughters and why he "would not have it any other way."

Speaking with Access, the "Free Guy" star spoke about fatherhood and why he doesn't mind that he's the only man in the household.

"When we had our youngest, I was quietly terrified it was gonna be a boy," he said, because he and his wife, Blake Lively, "didn't know" what they were having.

"Dwayne and Gal and I, we talk a lot about that, and there is a sort of shared experience there that I think is... worth noting," said Reynolds. "We love, love having our girls."

He added that his and Gadot's daughters were in "school pods" together while filming, as it took place during the pandemic.
