Ryan Reynolds jokes about going home to Blake Lively: She’s no ‘slouch’

Ryan Reynolds knows his wife is a beaut.

When Page Six teased the actor for getting to go home to Blake Lively after attending Monday night’s “IF” premiere, he deadpanned, “[She’s] not a slouch, that’s for sure.”

The couple, who often poke fun at each other on social media, have been married since 2012 and share four children: daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, and a 1-year-old whose name and sex they have yet to reveal.

Reynolds, who admitted last year that he sometimes struggles with maintaining his mental health, also shared that being with his family helps his outlook.

“My mission in life is to get home to be with my kids,” he told us at Monday’s star-studded event in New York City.

“It’s funny that I’m working with Steve Carell [on ‘IF’] because years ago somebody said to me, ‘Oh, you’re a real Steve Carell,’ and I was like, ‘What does that mean? I love Steve Carell. What does that mean?’ [They were] like, ‘Oh, he’s always just, as soon as he’s done [at] work, there’s no socializing. There’s a Steve-sized hole in the wall, and he’s on his way to his kids.’ That’s how I am.”

Other celebs at the premiere included Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Amy Schumer, Awkwafina and Christopher Meloni.

Bradley Cooper also attended, bringing along his 7-year-old daughter, Lea, whom he adorably introduced to the animated movie’s director, writer and producer, John Krasinski, on the red carpet.

“IF” hits theaters Friday.
