Reynolds and Lively are one of Hollywood’s most loved couples.

In a recent interview on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast host Amanda Hirsch, the Deadpool & Wolverine star opened up about his and his wife’s current sleeping arrangements, claiming it has been one of the biggest things that has been affected because they have young children.
After making a joke about challenging himself on how “absent” he can be, the tone turned serious for a second as Reynolds started explaining what it’s like to share their space with four children.
“Right now, I think it’s just embrace this chaos,” he told the host. “Nothing’s gonna be like, tidy, ever again, when you walk in. Yes, it will, though, when they all leave the house.”
He then recalled some advice given to him by his wife.
“Blake always says, ‘They’re all under our roof right now. The whole family is under our roof right now. We have them all,’ and like, that is a fleeting thing,” the actor continued before turning his attention to the pair’s sleeping arrangements.
The 47-year-old admitted his children “can’t even fall asleep unless they’re in our bed.”
“As much as I wanna say I would love to spread out and fall asleep normally, I sort of…” he said, before Hirsch cut in joking: “You’ll do that, when you’re Hugh’s [Jackman] age.”
“That’s true, God-willing,” he joked.
It comes shortly after the star spoke about the importance of spending time with his children, which influenced his decision to take a break from Hollywood.
“The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don’t want to miss this time with my kids,” he told LinkedIn News Senior Editor at Large Jessi Hempel, referring to his sabbatical.
He also emphasized the desire for a normal family life: “I want my kids to have a pretty normal schedule. For many years when my wife Blake would shoot a film, I would not shoot a film and I would be with the kids and vice versa.
“So we would sort of trade-off. We never really worked at the same time. But always we were away. So the kids were away too,” he explained.
