“We’re headed straight to the porch where we’re doing a full dance number set toMidnights, swear words included,” he said. “My favorite thing is when a 3-year-old is just throwing down the F-bomb in a song and has no idea.”

“I know girls, so I’m kind of hoping that,” said Reynolds.

The actor noted that he and Lively “don’t know” the sex oftheir fourth child on the wayand “never find out ‘til [they’re born].”

His desire to have another girl comes from “experience,” Reynolds told anchorsHoda KotbandSavannah Guthrie, both as a father to three girls and as the youngest of three brothers himself. “I love my well-being and my home,” he joked, teasing his siblings “were just arsonists and firemen.”

Still, Guthrie dubbed Reynolds “the ultimate girl dad” — a title Reynolds accepted with a “Yes.”
