Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds may be a Hollywood power couple, but their lives away from the spotlight are refreshingly ordinary - and that's just how they like it. 

The famous pair are doting parents to daughters James, eight, Inez, six, three-year-old Betty and a newborn baby, whose gender and name have not yet been revealed. 

And just before Father's Day, TikTok went into overdrive as an unearthed video of Blake painting an idyllic picture of their family life resurfaced. 

VIDEO: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' love story

The Gossip Girl actress opened up about what a doting father Ryan was during the 36th American Cinematheque Awards in November. 

She said: "I am his home, and our girls are his home... He is hard wired to get home... Daddy always comes home."

In the clip, Ryan can be seen watching with tears in his eyes. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actress continued: "He creates magic in his work, but man, oh man, does he create magic in his real life. Home is where his heart is. Which is why he gives so much of his heart back to his home."

Privacy is everything to the couple, who rarely share photos of their children, only at special events. Most recently, the entire family - including their newborn baby - were seen in public back in March as they visited the grounds of Wrexham AFC.

It was Blake that encouraged Ryan to purchase the football team, with the actor previously revealing that she's "actually more obsessed with Wrexham than I am."

Ryan previously revealed the secret to their close family unit when he said in 2019: "Blake and I don’t do movies at the same time. If she is doing a movie in Thailand and I am doing a movie in Vancouver we would just never see each other. We operate as a unit, and that really works well for us.
