Mar. 15, 2025

Ryan Reynolds’s summer has been all about family.

TheDeadpoolactor, 45, said that he’s spent his summer taking “structured time off” where he’d do some work in the mornings and spend the rest of the day with his family.

“It was beautiful, it was great. I stayed home the whole summer, [I] haven’t shot a movie in a year. Starting one right now, which is nice, but it was just nice to be at home with my family,” he added.

Asked about what it’s like being “at home with all the ladies,” Reynolds said, “It’s 7, 5, and 3, my daughters and it’s pretty wild. Summertimes at home are pretty special.”

“I can easily say that this is the best summer we’ve ever had, as a family. It’s just so nice to be home and be present.”

Reynolds went on to say that daughters Betty, Inez and James “do all the same stuff every other kid does.”

“They’re drawing and coloring. They’re doing their dance parties, they hunt mom and dad in the wood with a crossbow,” he joked.

“It’s just that time in your life, and it just reminds me of that time in my life, when I was a little kid.”

Back in December, Reynolds opened up about the importance ofspending time with his kids, noting that it was a major factor in his decision to take a break from acting.

He later noted that he simply wants to “live life like a normal human,” stating, “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.”
