Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds is opening up about country life with wife Blake Lively and raising their little girl, James.
The youngest of four boys and the son of a cop, Reynolds was "less a sibling and more of a moving target," he tells People in this week's cover story.
So when his wife, Blake Lively , gave birth to their daughter James , whom Reynolds adoringly calls "Shrimpie," in December 2014 , he was overjoyed.
"I never admitted it out loud, to myself or my wife , but I really wanted a little girl ," he says.
