Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, who have daughters James, five, Inez, three, and a seven-month-old whose name they havenโt revealed, are observing social distancing measures put in place to slow the spread of coronavirus and though they want their extended time at home to be an โeducational experienceโ for their kids, the actor joked heโs found other distractions.
Speaking to Stephen Colbert via video link on The Late Show, he said: โWeโre doing a lot of home-schooling. Weโre lucky enough to have a little, tiny garden, so weโre learning a little bit about gardening. Weโre trying to make this an educational experience.
โBut Iโm mostly drinking.โ
The Aviation Gin owner insisted he is happy to be โdoing girlโs stuffโ in his all-female household.
He laughed: โI do not miss masculine company at all.
โReally, most men tend to just be the architects of someoneโs demise. So itโs fine. I like just being here with the girls. I like doing the girlsโ stuff.
โLike, I try not to push sort of gender normative ideas on my kids as theyโre born, but each one as soon as they came out of the chute, they wanted to make dresses, they wanted to dress in hot pink all day.
โThatโs what Iโve been doing. This morning we made dresses out of tissue paper, which was fun for them.
