It's a pretty crazy experience," Ryan told E! News shortly after James' arrival. "What blows my mind is that it is so common yet it is so profound at the same time. Something so many people do."

The couple have chosen to keep their daughter out of the spotlight, but Ryan in particular has been open about his experiences of parenthood. "I'm surprised how patient I am with it," Ryan told GQ in September. "I feel like I could sometimes have a bit of a short fuse, but there's just been this weirdly endless supply of patience. "I have no problem waking up five times in the middle of the night and changing diapers, and as exhausted as you get, I have this stupid grin on my face all the time. And that's not because I have a nanny or something like that. It's just us right now, and I love it. "Like Blake, who is the youngest of four children, Ryan is the youngest of four boys. The couple have made no secret of their wish to have a big family."I genuinely like it. I like being a father. I like having a daughter," said Ryan. "I would like to have more kids. You know, it seems to suit me pretty well."
